- One day I woke up and decided to try figure skating, mainly because it was a sport that didnt require running. Here's my progress so far! Thank you so much for watching, see you in the next one.
i’m currently starting ice skating lessons at 14, and this really gave me a lot of motivation!! i was feeling unsure since i felt i started too “late” but this showed me that anything’s within my grasp :) thank you and i wish you the best of luck!!!!
Ik I'm not the creator of this but congrats on starting. I wish you a very awesome journey:)
Honestly the pro of starting later is that most likely your feet stopped growing already so you dont have to buy new skates like very few months😅
same
Don't Worry! You definitely have not started too late! I am currently 15 and turning 16 in 2 months. I started figure skating as a guy with some years of hockey experience, and figure skating threw me completely out of my mental state! Best of luck to the youtuber who made this video and you for trying out ice skating! Never feel afraid to try out new things!
~Good Luck!
@@leelaa1097 thank youu so much
oh GOD. YOU ARE NOT STARTING LATE!! (Will not reveal age because yk) but I’m 13/15 and I still can’t grasp basic stuff and I started when I was like 8/10 holyyyyy waltz jumps I will kill the person who invented them, they are the bane of my existence and guess what?! I have a halo so people expect better from me once skating starts up again😀😀😭😭
You learned so fast omg. I've always wanted to ice skate but it was hard since I don't live near any ice rinks. I'm starting now at 14, and this inspired me. I hope to see more of these videos because I loved this.
Dude what in the world, I’ve been doing skating for a whole year and I’m having my first showcase in 2 months and I look rlly stupid on the ice and here you are 5 months 2 competitions and a lot more, like I’m impressed
That’s crazy! I started staking when I was 18. I’ll be 19 in like a month. And I’m barely getting the hang of cross overs without leaving the ice. I’ve learned the lunge and holy smokes stroking took forever for my right foot. Left foot masters everything almost instantly. Tried jumping from a harness (waltz jump. Wow I hate the harness). I was only able to skate 2 times a week for 1 hour a week total. Now that I’m free during summer I’m doing about 4 hours almost everyday (2 hours in the morning and 2 at night). I’ve only been skating for about 7 months now so it’s nowhere close to yours. For me is mainly the fear factor. For some reason when I know how something feels it scares me more the next time I try to do it and then over think it 🥲. My coach is Tiffany Vise (she was famous for landing the first ever quad throw salchow for women’s pair skating) so she gets mad and puts that pressure of getting better. I also do off ice trainings as well and hit the gym after the rink. My ice sessions start at 4:45am 😅
this was something i really enjoyed watching! i figure skate too and i’m 13 and started at 7. this was really inspiring because you progressed so fast and are doing so well! this single video helped me land my first single lutz jump after seeing how hard you’ve worked at something you love. keep skating and pls post more updates!
omg that’s huge! my coach tried to teach me a half lutz and it was absolutely tragic… they’re pretty hard. i’m proud of you for getting it down and landing one!!!
@@maddieeee3707 omg thank you so much for replying to me, i didn’t think i’d be lucky enough! you made my day!
@@maddieeee3707 Hii, I have a question, how often did you go skating?
This is very inspiring! I'm in my mid-teens and have been going for 7 months. I only go once a week so my progress is slower than I would like, but I've been getting better!
As someone who's been figure skating since forever, I love seeing new people try it out!
wow!! you learned all of that in five months?!?!? that's amazing! I'm a beginner skater and Im 17 years old! I hope to improve just as fast as you! My second lessons are coming up this Saturday!
Keep up the good work! I have fun watching people have fun learning things.
I have been skating for 2-3 years. It took me 2 years to get to doing bunny hops with just doing public lessons they are NOT the way to go, I have recently started private lessons and they have helped me SO much. What I’m trying to get at is, if you are just learning to skate go to public lessons! But after you learn how to skate the best option is private lessons. I am so mad at myself for not starting sooner! So if you are someone who is doing public lessons please consider private lessons.
That’s a lot of progress for 5 months! I’ve been skating since I was six. I went to public session once a week and got a coach, then got another and went twice a week. During the pandemic I quit for 2 years, and I got back on in august 2021. I’ve increased my skating from 2 times a week to 3-5 times a week. Before the pandemic, I didn’t even pass my pre preliminary test yet, and now I’m passing my pre juv and onto Juv. It hasn’t been 1 year yet, but I think I did okay?
It's sooooooo inspiring!!!! I really want to watch more of your ice-skating!!!!!
if been skating sense i was 7, I'm 14 now, im not very good because i took a lot of brakes over the years, but its so motivational to see you improve so fast!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! when im having a bad practice i watch videos like this for inspiration i love this thank you so much
Nice job, I love how we got a peek at your costume! Your video is helping me re-learn some names of the moves. Thanks for sharing! I’ll be peeping you 😸
THIS IS AMAZING!! the progress makes me happy, i feel like i can do it :)
Your progress is sooo good!👏👏
You're doing so good! You can see how much more confident you are on the ice now and it's only going to get better!
Your progress is reallllly good how many times a week do you practice ?
6-7 days a week! I truly fell in love with the sport from the first moment i set foot on the ice.
@@maddieeee3707 didnt that cost a lot of money? i just started this week and i was unsure if it was worth it cause it was only 1,5 hours a week, and almost 4k USD for a season
@@grithhornshoej6487 it can get quite expensive but i am very lucky to have parents who can afford to pay for my lessons and ice time.
@@grithhornshoej6487 The cost varies depending on which club you choose. Clubs with highly certified, experienced coaches (sometimes Olympians) will cost more to join than a smaller club in an older rink with a basic coach. The geographical region matters too, such as if it's in a big city or a small town.
@@maddieeee3707 how many hours a day do you practice?
This was really inspiring! I’m 13 and I was supposed to start figure skating lessons a few days ago, but I broke my ankle badly and needed surgery so I can’t start skating again for a while.
This video is so amazing and you are so hard working!
I’m starting figure skating at age 15 just for fun (I don’t plan to do any competitions because I have anxiety and I can’t handle stress anymore) before this I did ballet, dance, gymnastics, cheer, and tumbling so I have an athletic background and I know what competitions are like and I would rather not do competitions lol.
Last week I went ice skating for the first time in several years and I was already able to do regular ice skating and simple turns and tricks without a coach and one RUclips tutorial. I have a few weeks before I start adult classes and I’m pretty excited for it.
im going to get a coach, and now im progressing on waltz jumping!
im happy for u :)
I love your progress!! Can you please make an updated version of this video? It’s alright if you can’t but I’d love to see it! ❤️
This is motivating me to get back into it, I haven’t been since February and I’ve been scared to go back cuz I might be rlly bad now 😶 amazing progress tho! Love to see it fr ❤️❤️!
Let me tell you, it’s like riding a bike. I had to take a couple months off due to an injury and when I got back out there it was like I had never even stopped!
2 years late, but this was insanelyyyy fast progress! congrats!
bruh this video got recommended to me im in awe youre so famous! your progress inspires me to keep going my sweet bestie. cant wait to skate with you again!
awww i love you bestieeee!
i miss you so much!!!
“I didn’t know how to bend my knees, or that was a thing in skating”
meanwhile EVERY ice skating coach ever be like: *BEND THOSE KNEES*
great progress btw, I love the voice over and the footage!
literally! i really must have not been paying attention for the first 2 weeks of my coach saying that repeatedly!!!
WHY HAVE I NEVER THOUGHT OF TRYING A SPIN FROM A BACKWARDS CROSSOVER- That sounds like so much fun
omg you learn SO fast!
You're doing awesome for only 5 months! You've improved a lot from your first lesson
thank you!!!
ahh! thank you for responding :') im also a skater and i loved to see your improvement
I honestly find it crazy the difference in pattern between when I first started vs you. I actually ended up learning mohawks,backwards crossovers,threeturns,one foot spins,etc earlier than my waltz jump
Yeah everyone does it differently. Technically in learn to basics you should do those first! But im just learning waltz jumps now(only just a little at a time) while doing back crossovers so that when i get to that level ill already have the strength and power for jumps
never been so jealous of how easy things come to you
I'm only 10 its been a year of ice skating and cant do things that good i do classes as well but boy its been a year you have learned more than me girl
super inspiring!!
Wow awesome progress!
5 months?!?! Dang that really gave me a boost of confidence im 13 but pretty tall and big for 13 so idk how im going to do but with this i believe i can do it
Wow you are amazing!
Great work! :)
I love ice skating but my inlines are the only way for me to go. It’s definitely harder than ice(especially jumps, I can barely, on my best day, do an axel) but I enjoy it so much 💜
I started skating at 6 but your improving a lot in only months
Tip: your leaning forward to much and your knees are mostly bent so try to straighten your back and knees and you’ll get used to it :)
Make an update!!! You did great!
Please make more,, very inspirational
All this in 5 months? Wow incredible!!
thank you!!!
I skate at that exact same skating rink!
You progressed so fast! Are you going to upload any recent progression videos?
thank you! i actually haven’t been able to get on the ice in a while because of an injury but i mean i could always make a video explaining that too if anyone wants it.
Lucky, we don’t even have a proper rink(only a tiny one with loads of snow on the surface during Christmas and the price is sky high)
the order of learning some of the movements are quite different to mine its interesting to see
Ur a fast learner!!! Are u planning on making another video of ur progress?
hi! I'm 13, and I've been doing figure skating lessons for about 10 classes now (basic 5/6). I just wanted to know what skates you have! My coach advised me that I need more ankle support on my skates and I wanted yours (or anyone else's) advice! , Thanks :D best of luck to you on your skating!! ❤
I am a figure skater too, I am currently on Free Skate 2-3
Figure skating is my dream
man i really wanna go to lessons for figure skating, but all the ones ive found were either for kids or grown ups :(
make sure to check the age ranges at your rink. at mine 4-14 is considered kids and 15+ is adults, so long as you fit the age range you should be able to go!
Don’t worry I used to struggle with Mohawks sal cows and toe loops but Inproved
omg im so jealous 😭 i dont have a skating rink near me
I started at 17 last month w my coach and im in the team now there’s nothing such as “late” “too old”
Whoa your a fast learner
I’m 16 and have done lots of competitive gymnastics and a bit of ballet and really really want to do figure skating but the nearest rink is over three hours away ;(((
You're a crazy fast learner woah
thank you!!!
You are awesome!!❣
I'm in my twenties and i'd love to start figure skating lessons! Was it easy for you to manage your skating and studing time? Also, is it very expensive as a sport?
thank you!!! it was relatively easy to balance skating and school, and it can get a bit expensive but i’m sure you can always figure something out with the coaches at your local rink.
Oh slay you skate at the Dallas stars rink
we go to the same place!!! im taught by laynie! :D
Wah that's so awesome... I just started and my goal is to get to where u at in week 3 ol
i cant wait for you to get there!!!
@@maddieeee3707 Oh tyyyy you're so sweet! How much time do you practice per day, if I may ask? I'm trying to figure out a schedule for going to my local ice rink!
@@wenl6765 1-2 hours a day usually!
@@maddieeee3707 Okay okay got it! Imma go for the 90 min sessions then :) tysm!!
I was about 10& wanted to take ice skating lessons. I will never forget my grandmother & mother said no. That was sometimes I had to start at about 3 or 4yrs old. I was so mad. I very happy for this young lady! ⛸️⛸️
How often per week we're you having lessons? I just signed up for my first class next week!!
AND ALL OF THIS IN 5 MONTHS? Can’t wait to get back on the ice (did you take private lessons or group lessons? I want to start taking private lessons but it’s so expensive)
i did both! i did group classes twice a week and private lessons twice a week!
wow teaching in other countries is so different from where i live.
How much are lessons? I'd really like to know because my dream is to become a figure skater!
can i ask which age u started ? i'm starting at 14 and i'm very impressed abt how fast u learned
i also learned myself cross over :D it's not perfect but eh
i started at 14 too, all you have to do is put in the time and effort
@@maddieeee3707 thank u for answering ! :)
When you went to the competition, did you compete in your age category or like a different one? For example newly started or some other category like that
i competed in basic 5 which was purely based on skill level, the only thing that was affected by my age was the fact that they didn’t put me in adult competition because i am still a teen.
how much did you ended up paying per coaching lessons? I saw pricing for $50 for every 30 min session. Since i need at least 3 session a week (I'm a slow learner) for at least an hour a day it would cost me 300 a week or 1200 a month....got expensive so i decided to stop for now since I don't make much at my job....but its good to see how far you got in just 5 months wow :)
I started skating when I was 11 and it took me 4 months to do a proper waltz jump with height 😂
How did you do that on your 2nd month-
What type of skates are you using? Are those Jacksons?
Please do an update 🥺
what skates do you use?? i’m quite knew and i only have inline skates
Its such an advantage to have a private coach, i domt have that luxury
i rly want to get into ice skating!! what are some tips and how do i start? like, do i take lessons? or idk im not sure how this all works :
My advice would to look at classes/group sessions at your local rink. Usually they rent you some skates until you decide that you’re getting your own. A good thing to remember when starting out is to not get frustrated, falls are a big part of learning and it can be hard at first but as long as you keep at it, you’ll see improvement!
Hi I'm about to learn how to skate just a quick question if you train with your coach for several years do they teach you how to do the triple axel when time comes?
jump progression should be taught by your coach.
how did you start competing? and get over the anxiety of starting?
I’m started just two months ago and in few weeks I’m going to compete on level 1.I started at 19 y.o
I also started at 19 y.o
How the competition went?
Hii did you do private lessons or group? And your progress is so fast and good!!!
i did a combination of both! 2 group classes a week and 2 private ones.
Can you PLEASE do an update
i wanna try too T^T but i dont know if my parents would allow.
you never know unless you ask!
i want to atleast try figure skating but here in ph the rink is only in manila and i'm from a province so yeah :
what age did you start skating? and what do you wish to achieve from skating?
i also want to start skating but i’m 15 so i do t think i’ll get far :/
you are never too old to start anything and i know that’s what everyone says but it’s true. i started skating February of this year when i was 14, and i don’t mean i did it on and off when i was younger. The first day i set foot on the ice with the intent to learn was when i was 14. When i realized i wanted to go into skating my goals were essentially just to be able to do cool things. But now after all the sweat and tears that have gone into it, at the end of the day i just am so grateful that i’ve found something that is so true to myself. My favorite place in the entire world is the rink. Yes now I’m able to do some cool tricks but that’s no longer what this is about. At the rink I found a second family, I’ve surrounded myself with great people who push me to be my best self on and off the ice. I think at this point the only thing I wish to achieve is to continue progressing and continue competing. If you ever have any other questions I got you! But the moral of the story is that you just have to get out there and try it.
@@maddieeee3707 this has gave me so much motivation now! tysm
I started at 19 (6 months ago) and I almost have all single jumps (no lutz and axel yet). Never too late!!
I'm 15 in two months and I felt so called to start for like 3 months and it was so scary to me but I just started last week!! lets do this together!
@@hannahzhou1920 we got this!
I would love to start figure skating, but in my country and my age (18), it's really too late to start. Most of the coaches wants kids that are 8- so I'm just on my own to learn all of that.
its ok i know a person who started at 19 and hopefully u start! :)
maybe try finding recreational/adult classes??
@@gianna3928 There are none here, where I live.
This girl right here started waltz jumps at 1st month, like wtf
Just curious what competitions were you doing? In Canada the lowest level competition requires a backspin and most people on my team didn’t get there for at least 2-3 years
I definitely don’t have my back scratch, but in america there are competitions for pretty much every level!
how old are you? i’m 16 and have just started learning all the jumps starting on single jumps soon at the five month mark. i’m hoping to compete however i lowkey feel like i’m too old :/
I’m a hockey skater and I’ve been doing it for almost a year and I still can’t do Mohawks 😭
mohawks are the bane of my existence but they’re so essential!!
Aand the crossovers for me took 2 years😳
Your video is so inspiring. Could you please let me now how many hours you practice every week on average and how many hours you train with a coach every week? (I assume you are doing 1-2-1 sessions with a coach). Thanks. I am very serious to start learning figure skating from the 2nd half of this year.
I was practicing on ice about 5-6 hours a week, and 1-1/2 hours of that was with my coach, another hour with group lessons. But off ice training (conditioning) is really important to develop the muscles you need to improve technique so I was also conditioning for 1.5 hours a week during the school year and 2-3 hours weekly during summer. I hope that helps!
@@maddieeee3707 Thanks for that. Also, i am wondering if you have ever considered about inline figure skating that is not limited to do in a rink?
How many times do you practice in a week? Xxx
How much classes did you have a week and how long was each class?
i’d do 2 classes on thursday and 2 on saturday and each one was 30 minutes.
That 2 foot spin in the first month is unbelievably good
thank youuuu
Secretly we ALL didn’t know how to do mohawks
Wait wait wait I think we skate at the same rink
heyy so by weeks do u mean weekly lessons or like everyday lessons?
I would typically skate 5-6 days a week doing about an 1-1/2 hours a day but I had 2 group lessons and 2 sessions with my coach every week!
how did u progress this fast? priv lessons?
Your lucky, how times did you skate in a week?
i’d skate 6-7 days a week!
