Lucky!! I started skating when I was 3 and did it for two years but then my mom took me out. I’m 14 now and I’m trying to regain what I lost. It hurts to think about where I would be if I stayed from then
I absolutely love ice skating and I think it's so beautiful, but where I'm from there are no rinks nor coaches =/ I really want to learn, but just watching your videos makes me feel inspired and give me some hope that some day I'll be able to accomplish my dream :)
Try rollerblade skating first (inline skates), it will help when you goice skating for the first time. It is easier than ice skating, because it gives you more stability and you don't need a rink for it. In my country ice skating rinks are only open for half a year and when i was a kid i used to go rollerblading with my siblings.
I'm in the same, I am 14 years old and I would love to be an figure skater, but there are no ice rinks in the place where I live, and sometimes I get very sad about that. I hope one day I can achieve my dream. Good luck! (sorry for the bad english)
in my country there are less than 20 rinks, and my country is about the size of America!! it makes me really sad, but luckily my wishes came true because last month a small rink opened in my rural town!!
True, I roller blades a ton as a child and I just started both figure skating and hockey skating and I’ve had a much, much easier time than a lot of people.
I'm so going to try the one foot stop next time, the first snowplough I did I did so well I nearly went flying forward, I'm now too scared to do it! I'm struggling on one foot glides at the moment so I'm going to try hard at lessons next week :D
I started with this video soo long ago, now I can't believe I'm up to my biellman spin. I go skating every 3 days... I've just made so much progress in years! I believe in you! You can start making goals and achieve them! I started skating at 10 btw
the other day, my family went skating, and we FLEW to the rink after they finished using the zamboni (?), and my cousin face planted so hard that he got a black eye. convinced his friends that he got in a fight. great day.
I howled at the beginning, and at your captions-you have a great sense of humor! So glad your emphasized warming-up before skating; it's essential. Just one suggestion: we all do it automatically, but try not putting your hand on the ice when you fall. You could fracture your wrist. Afterwards, tuck in immediately, then get up (I teach Learn to Skate). Otherwise, excellent job!!
I can't be the only one who watches these videos even though I have no ice rinks around me therefore there is actually 0% chance that I will ever need this video... Right???
Yo I just got back from skating at my local rink, and I saw one of your videos on the screen there! This video to be exact! On the screens they usually just show figure skating competitions, ice hockey, and occasionally some inspirational and educational videos. I've just never seen your video there before, and thought it was neat!
Absolutely love your videos as well as your personality. Your videos are so enjoyable to watch and you give me huge amounts of courage to get on the ice ❤️
I stumbled across one of your progress videos a few weeks ago and it honestly inspired me to start figure skating! I've been doing some recreational skating with family/school in the winters growing up(never been on an inside rink before starting lessons lol only outside rinks and frozen lakes, just Norway things) so I have more balance than the other beginners in my class etc but I never went backwards in my life until two weeks ago when I started them lol. So thanks for the inspiration
Hello, I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your videos. They are so pretty and well-made and (the most important thing) I learned so much from You. I wanted to say thank you for the motivation and videos, because for years I thought I am too old (I'm 16 btw) and because of you I believed that I can learn basics of figure skating. Please continue making videos like this, remember you are the best! Love ya 💜💜💜💜 Sorry for my grammar, I live in Poland.
I've been fascinated by ice skating in general since I was a kid and always enjoyed watching figure skating; so much skill on display! I grew up in the southeastern US and ice rinks aren't very common (as far as I know), and the roller rinks were always very crowded, but roller-blading had to do it for me until the day I could try the ice. Hopefully, that'll be sooner than later! Thanks for the info, and the fun video!
I absolutely love the idea of skating, Although I’ve never committed to actually learning because I didn’t know where to start… I’ve have skates for years (that still fit) Although finding ice is almost impossible for me as i can’t go to rinks
This video is timed so perfectly. There's a seasonal ice rink set up down the road from me and I was wanting to go skating next week for the first time:) still probably gonna fail haha
I know this was posted a long time ago and you wont see this but thank you so much I've been looking for a video with info like this that makes a lot of sense and I finallyyy found one tysm! I really want to start skating!
Hey I'm 13 soon to be 14 I want to start figure skating but I think it's too late. I don't want to go to any major competitions just some small ones if possible. Is it too late for me to start?
I know how to properly skate but not figure skate and I'm fascinated by figure skating but never took any lessons, but HA you inspired me and I'll be taking lessons once the ice rinks open again!! I was discouraged a few years back because I kept reading that you can only start as a child, but being now an 18 years old who doesn't care about anything, I'm r e a d y :)
where you always flexible or did you have to work your way up when u started skating to where you are now?? Also hi!!! I hope ur good and I loved the video, I will start skating next year! :D
Hi I am 15 years old and I want start figure skating but everyone says “you have to started at 3-4 years old its late for you” What do you think?Can I started ice skating? İs it late for me? 😕
hi, I'm Anna and I saw the video of the progress you had made in a year ... but how old were you when you started? and how many times a week did you go skating? PS I love you ♥️😃😊
i already know how to skate but dudddeeeee that ice looks good! My ice rink is usually very crowded so the ice gets destroyed very easily and when everyone leaves you can't practice because the ice is literally so bad. But I just learned how to stop so now I can get to the cool things
You really should mention making sure to keep you feet flat and back straight Falling backwards sucks but you don’t wanna dig your toe pick into the ice all the time
"Falling doesnt hurt much" Me: faceplants the floor, chipping a tooth, busting my lip, giving my self a black eye, and brushing my knee so bad it took 3 months to heal. Jk jk, well that fall was real but it was 1 of the 1000s of falls I've ever had and MOST dont hurt in the slightest haha
@@cariuwu5862 I actually got back up and went on the rink before the rest of the session. I have chipped a tooth before so it didnt bother me to much lmao. It was only the next morning I woke up and noticed my knee was pretty much black and I couldnt move it (ir was an evening disco session) and ended up going to a&e (wasnt broken thankfully) 😂😭
I've only skated once in my life and I LOVED IT! However in 2018 I had an accident while playing volleyball and broke my knee legitimate (I think that's how it's called?) ... Now I don't feel comfortable enough to try skating again even if it's been more than a year since my surgery, cause I still haven't recovered fully. I hope one day I'll try it again....
SUPER off topic but i heard the swan lake music in the background and IMMEDIATELY thought of the barbie swan lake movie n i can't stop thinking about how iconic it was... imagine a skating program to that piece omg
@@minasees PLEASE PRINCESS AND THE PAUPER BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME,,, IT HAS EVERYTHING; FEMALE EMPOWERMENT, PRETTY DRESSES, BANGING SONGS, A GREAT PLOT 😭😭 it deserved a theatrical release 😭😭😭
I'm a totally beginner, but I would love to be better:D right know, I'm just moving by pushing my left foot outside, then my right foot outside, and so on... It's nothing you have shown in the video, but maybe you know what I mean? Is this incorrect? And thank you for sharing your knowledge!! Rn I have no possibility to take lessons and am really grateful for your input!
once i get a good paying job im gonna start taking figure skating lessons, till then i will just buy some rollerblades and learn on them + do off ice practice, so i can be prepared more
Indoor rinks feel smooth until people’s blades make it choppy which doesn’t take long at all, it still pretty smooth. My rink zambonis after about an hour and has people reverse direction half way through.
“Falling really doesn-“ *ad starts* “YOU FALL IN LOV-“
PFFFTTTTT
😂😂
Same 😅😅
jungkook twerking i can’t 💀
pFFFTTTT
Omg saaaammmmeeee
The GOLDEN twerk😂😂
haha
Yesss😂
am i the only one that’s been skating forever but still watches these vids?
Nope
Nope not the only one I still like to learn things even if I know them
Lucky!! I started skating when I was 3 and did it for two years but then my mom took me out. I’m 14 now and I’m trying to regain what I lost. It hurts to think about where I would be if I stayed from then
@@AbrarKhan-pt8tx the EXACT same thing happened to me with gymnastics when i was 3, like i could be olympic material by now
@@hannahm6165 Ik it hurtsss🥺 It’s fine though who doesn’t like a good comeback, lol. If we try hard enough who knows what could happen.

They actually make non ice ice skating rink for ur yard if u want
True, I roller blades a ton as a child and I just started both figure skating and hockey skating and I’ve had a much, much easier time than a lot of people.
i went skating for the first time in my life and honestly it felt so hard to even just stop?? like is it just me am i really that bad
we all started there! you don't suck! keep working!
minasees i will 🥺 I’ll probably be taking classes next year and you honestly inspired me to do so 🥺🥺
Don't worry, i've skated recently for the third time in my entire life and I found stopping also really difficult XD
i lowkey still struggle with stops when my blades are too sharp hA
Maé Dillerin even the best skaters in the world have been there at one point
I'm so going to try the one foot stop next time, the first snowplough I did I did so well I nearly went flying forward, I'm now too scared to do it! I'm struggling on one foot glides at the moment so I'm going to try hard at lessons next week :D
FINALLYYYY! I’ve been looking for a COMPLETE beginner tutorial but i’ve never found one. Thank you so much
i hope it helped!!
@Maeiro HAHA

When you zoomed in on that kid falling😭😂😭😂
I was not expecting to see that Jungkook meme 😂😂😂

aaa good luck! keep us updated!!
minasees thank you!! And oki doki!
Ali-Elizabeth Cicogna me tooooo
Same here !!!
Maeiro me too! I asked for skates
I’m sending this to my friend that can’t ice skate. Saves me helping her 24/7 😂
were you ever that flexible before starting figure skating? like did you already know how to do the splits, scorpion, needle, etc.?
I started with this video soo long ago, now I can't believe I'm up to my biellman spin. I go skating every 3 days... I've just made so much progress in years! I believe in you! You can start making goals and achieve them! I started skating at 10 btw
I love this! really easy to follow for a "complete beginner" and free of unnecessary explanation.
I started today and I did swizzles for an hour and a whole nonstop
I loved it though I’ve waited for this day all my life!!
the other day, my family went skating, and we FLEW to the rink after they finished using the zamboni (?), and my cousin face planted so hard that he got a black eye. convinced his friends that he got in a fight. great day.
I have a really problem with flexible I know that you have a video about it but can you do another one plz???
your wish is my command :)
minasees omg thank you 😭😭😭
@@minasees omg a queen :,)

Ok, I came here for the skate knowledge and stayed for the Jungkook and overall memey atmosphere lol
jungkook is the key to success
I'm going ice skating tomorrow for the first time but I am pretty good at rollerblading
Your videos really encouraged me to learn more about ice skating and realize you're not to old to try figure skating.
This is not related at all but you should give us a room tour. I always see snippets of it on instagram and it looks so cute!
Bc of you , I skate once a week now 😭♥️
You're back!!! Yeyyyyyy, everytime I miss your videos so much!
I can't be the only one who watches these videos even though I have no ice rinks around me therefore there is actually 0% chance that I will ever need this video... Right???

I can’t push myself when i do the swizzles, they’re so HARD for me SEND HELP PLS, love this vid

This is probably the mist entertaining educational video I’ve watched about anything, and once the rink opens again, I will try this
I’ve learned all of this exactly when I first started skating 😿
I just got back from the rink ^_^ (my feet hurt so baddddd)
m o o d
minasees and I just got my skates sharpened. It’s always fun with freshly sharpened skates

How long have you been skating for?
Quick question:
How long did it take you to learn to swizzle?
once i get a good paying job im gonna start taking figure skating lessons, till then i will just buy some rollerblades and learn on them + do off ice practice, so i can be prepared more
You've gotten among the best videos.

As soon as i saw jungkook i was like. Kinda true tho 😂 amiii💜
does ice rlly feel that smooth, or is it bumpy?
Indoor rinks feel smooth until people’s blades make it choppy which doesn’t take long at all, it still pretty smooth. My rink zambonis after about an hour and has people reverse direction half way through.
How do you turn before hitting the wall??
