Summer Camp Blooper Reel! Figure Skating Falls!

We just finished our Figure Skating Summer Camp and the skaters all worked so hard! But with new skill, comes many many falls. I caught a few of those summer camp falls on camera, so today we will enjoy a little blooper reel (with the permission of all the athletes!) I hope this is inspiration for you to keep pushing your own skating skills and try not to be afraid of falling.

Thank you for reminding us that no one is immune to falling, even advanced skaters will fall a lot haha

So true!

I live your video. Not everyone is aware that theres a right way of falling and this is so true when you’re doing your routine because anything can happen.

Yes! Falling and getting back up is the true beauty of figure skating!
Just got back from lesson and did something daredevil-ish; I pretended to over-rotate my salchow and went for a 2S! (I thought the technique to get an axel would work similarly) Of course it was wacky and wild but miraclulously I didn’t crash! Maybe a super downgraded 2S or something.
Anyways, coach gave me a smack in the head and we went back to 1S.

Never falling usually when not challenging oneself to improve.

Isn't that a hydroblade, not a cantilever?

[@CoachJulia]

@@lisalockwood2296 it definitely is exclamation I always confuse the titles of those two maneuvers and I did it by accident in this video. Good catching it though.
