Potentially because it's a lot more likely to fall on a jump than it is a spin. Usually problematic spins are super slow or you don't hold positions long enough, which wouldn't work super well in a montage.

Honey Rose keep going!! You can do it !

Shadow Bubbles hey, Im only 15 and I started ice skating for 2 months. I started at Basic 1, and do you know where I am now? Basic 3. I jumped Basic 2 because I already knew how to do it. How? I practiced. Kids half my age were pretty bad really. And with those backward swizzles, It took me days to finally get the motion and now it's perfect. Sure there are kids like 5 that are way better but that's because they had an open opportunity earlier with the help of parents. Don't be insecure for your age..that is totally okay. Just stay your lane and enjoy your journey :)

I started skating at 16 and now, 6 years later, I am working on doubles. I still don't cut deep into the ice like the kids who've been skating since they were 5, but I compete against them at competitions! It's never too late! Take care of your body and health, and spend time learning the moves. Have fun learning new techniques from friendly skaters and don't be afraid to ask questions. I found that good skater friends are just as important as a coach, but that differs for others i'm sure. Have fun and NEVER GIVE UP! :)

I'm 60. I started at 58. I know this is easier to say than do, but worry less about the other skaters and more about yourself. In the end, your ultimate opponent is yourself. Are you better than you were yesterday? Last week? A year ago? Then you're doing great. There will be bad days along with the good ones, days where you're not "better than you were yesterday", but often those bad days herald new breakthroughs. And a bit of perspective: In the end, you'll be far and away ahead of those who are still at home on the couch. So all the props in the world for getting out there and working at it.

Thanks!

Doggycorner I'm so glad that it helped! I think that the greatest lesson that I learned from skating was that falling is a part of life. You have to keep standing up if you are going to make it somewhere. Keep going! It's worth it!

Progress doesn’t go by age, it goes by how long you’ve actually skated for, it doesn’t matter how old you are

@@orange5308True. Age itself doesn’t stop you, it’s the fear that comes with it. If you overcome it, you can learn very quickly

skater 20082 it took me ages to get my axel never give up

My double axel took me two years to get. The axel is the hardest jump. When I finally got it, I was so happy. My double axel is my best jump now even though it took many days of falling. I felt like a failure through those two years but I learned that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

IceSkaterSarahLyle Hey update! I got my axel but I just go in a bit now before jumping so when I go back skating I will practice to go straight into it. And I even got my double salchow once.

I am so happy for you! That is awesome! I would love to see it!

thats how i am... I got my axel last season. and now i lost it. i pop every axel, double sow, douple loop. and i cry everytime i dont do it bc it is frusterating.. but you just have to keep trying.. weve got this.

+Lili How is this 'disgusting'. Thats a terrible thing to say

+EhKOfilms_Movies Thanks! I like this one too! :)

Yes I am still skating. I am working on triple jumps right now and getting ready for regionals.
