For me as an adult skater (37), this advice helped me tremendously. I learned quicker by 'just doing it' instead of overthinking it. If a new move or jump fails, I do something that I can do already and get back to it with good spirit and a clear mind. It gives me so much more freedom and joy instead of headache and frustration.
Skating by feel makes sense, because many moves require that multiple things happen in the right sequence in only a split second, so there's no time to think all the things through. It's first knowing what it is that's supposed to happen, then working on muscle memory building block exercises for the particular move, then putting it all together (which requires a lot of practice). I used to compete in roller skating and was able to do double rotation jumps on both ice skates and roller skates. I was then out of skating for over two decades and my spark for skating was renewed by the recent opening of an ice rink in my area. At age 50 I made up my mind that I would land an axel, double toe, and double salchow again, which I have done. Regaining past abilities and acquiring new abilities certainly takes a step by step process, but in the end the goal is to make the moves feel as natural as walking.
That was very well put Edmund! I totally agree and am glad that you came back to skating :-) You'll get those jumps, it's only a matter of time and effort.
Great! I wish I can "skate by feel", but for a 40+ skater it is often difficult to move in a way that's not natural for a body. So I find that "skate by analysis " is my way to improve. So, less I can do by fell, more I have to do by analysis. That is why I watch your videos!!!
I know it's hard, I started skating at 18 years old, and had to learn to skate by feel when I was much older. With enough effort it can be accomplished. And it's not black or white, even if you can skate by feel a little, it will help.
Oleg Altukhov You started at 18? Wow! Gives me a greater level of appreciation for your skill! And thank you for your support! I work on keeping my analysis to a necessary minimum and not to get in a way of enjoying the process of learning! Жду новых видео!
Feel and Try, sometimes I get frustrated from trying over and over, and it's not going right and I can feel it is wrong and can't seem to get it right. Then I get discouraged. Sometimes I take a break from it and work on another thing. Any suggestions?

Спасибо Vera!
18?? That is VERY motivating, especially for adult skaters. I'm going to train twice as hard from now on.
