Hi hii. Do you the difference between Scott Hamilton one and Risport Antares?

A very good review!! I pretty mush agree on all the points you made. I started out in Artistes as well, and I've landed up to flip in these skates. The most "advanced" spin I've done succesfully in these skates is a camel spin, and honestly I felt quite supported! I've skated in Artiste's for 8 months, and they are b e a t up! For reference, I'm and adult skater, 5,7" and 163lbs (ish). I've just upgraded to Jackson Freestyles, and I'm looking forward to seeing what I can achieve in them!

How do you choose which skate you want to wear? How is the learning curve?

I’m 41 and just started ice skating and you look GREAT!!! I don’t know how to stop?? I’ll certainly take lessons

Are these ok to do waltz jumps in?

Gonna take a week long brrak from skateboarding needed this message

ice skater persona unlocked!!

Igor approves 🔥

Are you posting anywhere else these days? I just found this channel and I would love to support you if you have a new channel.

Did you work on spins with your coach or all by yourself?

Good for you - congratulations!!

What's a good place to get after that?

How does the fit of Risport Royals compare to the GH Loop Skates? What are your sizes in the boots? I am now in Edea but used to skate Risport and was considering GH Artistic Inlines for summer training, but I struggle to find information about how the boots fit compared to Risport or Edea Skates.

yeah that's why I searched it and somebody is talking ground reality of this sport

I literally did watch Yuri on ice. Some weird stuff has been happening to push me to skate. Like it’s fate. Thank you so much! I’m 23, lil over weight, I love to workout and skating is kinda hard for me but I’m willing to learn !❤

Great Job!!! Thank you for posting this. I am working on Silver test next and wanted to see a great example.

Ahh I found a new skater to follow and she doesn’t post anymore lol

This is so helpful! Thank you!

i have a question, can u do like simple jumps like waltz jumps and simple spins in those?

Hello! I know u will probably not amswer, but if my weight is around 30 kilogrames or 66 pounds( i don' t know if I transform it well) can I do waltz jumps in these skates? I had skates that my coach said that I can't do anything in them so she said I should buy Artiste skates. I am learning how to do Waltz jumps so is it ok to do it in Artiste?

I am looking to by my first figureskate boots, but I can already skate, I would say I am pretty confident in normal skating, I can do some overlapping and tried a bit of turns. Which shoe would you recommend? I would devinetley start to learn how to jump so this shoe doesn't really suit me right?

I love this! Very inspiring! I hope you do continue.

you're such a great storyteller!

Would love to see a Learn to Skate 6 video! This was a great help!

I have a pair of these boots and I absolutely love them. Ive jumped around between different brands and by far Risports are my fav. I personally have more of a freeskate background but lately I've been loving dance, so I can confidently jump double jumps in them but also get beautiful ankle bend and point!! 10/10 recommend!!

this progress is insane! Im a teen and I just started. This gives me so much hope to improve.

Wait you ate this up! loved your perspective. Wishing you more fun and enjoyment in this crazy sport!

Thanks for this video been looking for examples. Testing soon and always love looking to other skaters to see what I can improve on. Just let me say girl I am so jealous of your forward cross strokes I cannot😂

ive fallen into a figure skating rabbit hole and very much want to learn, but im currently exploring it through fiction, and was wondering about the dress code for nonbinary skaters. i looked into the dress code and found that men are required to wear full length pants and women are not, but i was curious as to whether nonbinary skaters would be required to wear full length pants, or whether it would depend on their agab? other people on the internet mentioned competing “as” a specific gender even if they arent that one. what are your thoughts on this topic?

“the soup of figure skating leadership” 🤣 It IS a soup! A yucky one! 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

Thank you so much for sharing 🫂🫂🫂 You are so thoughtful and genuine about the issues of figure skating. I love listening to you! ❤️

Great video! Best review here on TH-cam. I’ve found a few ice skate coaches videos here, but they weren’t straight to the point. Kudos to you!

Love this

@MindfulBanter, I noticed you are at the Capitals IcePlex in this video. Living in an area of Virginia without a rink, at least a year round one, I am considering this particular rink for a "home" rink. Can you tell me more about your experiences with the Iceplex?

@MindfulBanter, this was very helpful. I am very nervous about buying inexpensive beginner skates from all brands, due both to my weight(which is a bit on the heavy side, at 300 lb) and not wanting to buy another pair in a year due to financial concerns. I'm planning to budget about $400-$500 max, so I have options. I also have issues with ingrown nails, so I need a wider/stretched toe box. Hopefully, I can find a good balance at my first fitting next month.

Keep on truckin'! It's for your own enjoyment and creativity.

I wish that people would just look at each other as people (living souls) rather than putting identity tags on each other. Think about how boring this world would be if everyone looked the same, etc., which in a way is what they are trying to move us toward. There is too much sensitivity toward offending people. It has gone overboard. It is one thing if someone is outwardly and maliciously trying to offend someone. It doesn't "feel" good and isn't good manners. However, in reality you have to assess what the real damage is. People need to get out of their 'little worlds' and look at the big picture. There are good people and there are bad people. There are rich people and there are poor people, etc., etc. I understand that "white people" seem or are perceived to have been the ones in control of the whole world and many aspects of it. However, that isn't exactly true when you examine history over the centuries in countries around the world. However, if you currently happen to be one of those "non-white" people, in the world and you are outside of your original country culture, you will find that irregardless, it comes down to "human nature." Also, if you really examined your original country culture, even there, you will find the discrepancies of "the human creature." People are people and they are imperfect. Some think that they are better than everyone else and others feel that they will never be good enough. We are put on this earth for an 'experience.' Yes, it seems that skating has been dominated by the "white race" for a long time. However, regardless, when you are a competitor, you realize that the judges have your fate in their hands. You can only do what you can do and wait for the results. People take a lot of things too seriously. A lot of what they think is so important, isn't really as important as they think it is in the scheme of things. Life goes on. People should be able to express their own individuality or interpretation of whatever they choose as long as it does not physically hurt another person or cause that person to be hurt by others. People need to get out of their "mindsets and belief systems (which they are taught) and realize that everything is not about them and having everyone yield to what they have chosen to call themselves, believe, or pay attention to. Art and artistic impression is all about individuality. To deny that is censorship. And there is too much censorship going on right now. If you want to skate, skate or choreograph for yourself or student and stop worrying about other people. Be courteous, however, don't expect people to automatically be friendly to you. Most of the time, it has nothing to do with you or your race at all, it is that person. I'm not saying that there is not bias. Rink atmospheres will vary depending on the type of people there and the activities. I remember a lot of jealousy, competitiveness, and cattiness (who your coach was, how you dressed, how well you skated, fat or skinny) growing up in the rinks. Adult skaters were shut out for years by the 'younger skater mentality.' If you were over 21, you were considered over the hill in terms of competing. And that wasn't too long ago. Now you see competitors up to 40 in the elite competitions and now they also have the adult competition category. Also, look at all of the Asians currently dominating the top spots in competitions. Don't let yourself be held back because of your belief systems. And they are ingrained in all of us from birth . And some have to overcome more than others to realize themselves. You can't please everyone, so stop trying and just be who you are.

Wishing you the best moving forward! <3 Are you still going to be skating for fun or are you looking for a new sport? I also used to skate but moved to adult ballet and felt like I fit in much better there. The studio I'm at is super welcoming and there are many POC and queer folk. I'm in a class with a trans man and he was casted in really fun male parts in the recent show. It's a pre-professional school so it's nice being treated seriously even though I'm an adult and getting to perform in Nutcracker and Coppelia recently was so fun!

stumbled upon your videos because I couldn't find any official vids of the Adult Learn to Skate skills, I live in Asia and have just started learning figure skating in my 40s (I also learned tennis in my 30s so I think its par for the course!), gymnastics, ballet and figure skating are stuff that I grew up really loving to watch but never had parents interested in helping (no tiger parents here) me get into lessons. So as a much more confident adult in my 30s I started learning all the things I had always wanted to learn haha Anyways, ISIAsia seem to only have grades for children and I felt like it would take forever to advance a grade so I took to the internet and found both the US Learn to Skate for Adults and Skate UK's Levels for Adults. They both seem much much more reasonable and encouraging =D

I want a Women like her so bad but im too hood for her 🤷🏾 i love women like this

Nice review! Jackson Ultima makes a major mistake calling the edges "tapered". They are actually flared, which is the opposite of tapered. The blades flare outward toward the bottom instead of tapering narrower (just like different styles of pants). "Side honed" is another term that is used for this. My Gold Seals are side honed (flared) for more ice bite when leaning on an edge. I'm trying to figure out if these blades have a Gold Seal rocker profile (rounder right behind the bottom pick) or a Pattern 99 profile (flatter/more gradual spin rocker). I cannot spin on my Dynasty synchro blades because they have a Pattern 99 profile and I just can't find the sweet spot. I'm used to Gold Seals and before those, Gold Stars.

Ayyy theatre on ice! I love theatre on ice because it feels like fewer people feel the need to get all UP in my gender.

So I've been skating in my jackson artises got about a year or so. In that year I passed pre pre lim mifs, prelim dances and going to pass pre bronze soon. I've also competed solo dance in them. Do you think the edges are able to be really deep on this boot/blade? Or is it holding me back? Thanks!

23? wow, You are to old for this, You can hurt Yourself 😥

I currently wear Risport Antares and will compete in adult pre bronze next year (but I do single jumps in artistic too). I need to change them because they were not new when I bought them, but my caoches said Risport cut at the heel are really high compared to other. But a tech advises me Electra, and I thought about RF3.

I loved this video, thank you for sharing Jada. Hope to see u soon ❤
