For everyone saying that she shouldn't have ice flies because they are for doubles need to understand thay jump ratings are only for kids. Adults weight 3-4 times as much as kids and we need more support. Been skating 20 years and my current boots are rated for quads and you won't catch me doing more than doubles ever. It's just because I'm and adult and need more support for my weight.
how could your choruses break down in such a short time?🥺i’m skating in my pair for the second year already, i’m learning doubles now and i feel like i’m gonna skate in this pair for at least another year or two
When doing your jumps, you could try wear guards on ur wrist and practice with protection until you can get the height and confidence , it will pay off
You should get Jackson artiste if you are just coming out of rentals. You don’t need the best of the best skates until you start doing double or triple jumps
What do you mean by broke down??? I’ve had chorus for about a year and so dubble jump with it. I’ve had 4,different pairs as well and never had a problem
I have the Jackson Artiste now! I just reached my 6 month mark. Good to know others have experience with using them for longer!😅 When did you start learning jumps? Currently I have my waltz jump and salchow, and working on toe loop (i can land it, it just needs finetuning)🤔 but I still need to work on some basic stuff like edges etc. I really don't know when I need to upgrade tbh
hi! i’m learning my single jumps rn (waltz, toe loop, salchow). do you recommend edea skates? i only go a couple times a week and right now i have jackson’s
The best skates are the skates that fit you best. you should go get fitted and whatever brand fits the best will be whats recommended. theres so many different brands like risport, riedell, graf, edea, jackson etc. the brand and boot will depend on your feet shape, width, arch etc and your height weight, how often you skate etc. If your boots are broken down, I would suggest you go get fitted for skates becuase it will not be able to support you when doing jumps and spins. Happy skating!
How much were the boots and blades for the second one combined? I’ve been begging my mom for edeas but she’s telling me to stick with my riddells. I’ve been doing doubles in my riddells for like half a year and I’m kinda sick of it 😭
You just do a forward swizzle then a backward swizzle. If you need help with those, there are lots of videos online. Coach Julia has some good tips for various moves.
You have gone through 2 pairs of boots in less than 2 years and are on a 3rd? Chorus are rated for double jumps, unless you are extremely heavy they should not be breaking down that quickly. I would investigate both your jump and lacing technique. Edea boots used to say they required a different lacing technique to avoid early break down, there was a video on YT on how to lace them correctly. And anyone looking to start skating, this is not remotely typical even if you advance very quickly. Ice skating is expensive enough without buying boots this frequently.
@@jingli-ce7oh more goes into consideration when buying skates than just skill level. weight, age, height, how much a skater trains, etc. are all considered. i have a video up already about why i have ice flys if you’re curious 😊
weight, height, how often you skate and also how you use your skates are all factors taken into account when getting fitted for figure skates. adults beginners usually wear stronger boots that might be rated for doubles, triples and quads because they often need higher levels of support and figure skate support ratings are made for children. also she is wearing edea skates, and it is very difficult to overboot in edea. obviously this is different for everyone and doesn't apply to everyone.
You said yours broke down fast so now I’m worried, because I wanted to get the Edea overtures! In group classes were barely on backwards skating, but I’ve self taught some single jumps and spins so I was wondering 🤔
it definitely depends on how much you skate and what you’re doing in them! i was skating almost every day and i work at the rink so i was using them a lot for work too which made them break down quick, even though i was just doing single jumps. everyone is different though! i was able to use them for about 1 year and 3 months before switching
@lexx8398 Heyy! I just wanna say two things. First please go get fitted for skates. Edea skates may not be compatible for your feet. Second, it's ok to self teach if that is the only way you can learn. Be careful about technique and trying your best to not pick up bad habits. For example if you're watching a tutorial, film yourself and compare your posture, form, technique etc to the video and correct your mistakes. However, please do not try to learn jumps and spins without mastering all the basics. There is a reason why you learn skills in a certain order. You can seriously get hurt if you don't have the prerequisite skills for the more complex moves. At the end of the day it's up to you but please be safe and happy skating!
Okay! I’m definitely planning to get skates fitted rather than bought online, and I am kind of rushing it because I’m starting slightly later at 14 😭I agree with the posture part though, I need to develop on technique more, because watching my own videos are so deeply humbling 😭 thank you so much for all your advice! 🫶🫶 @@zeinababukar1933
It depends on your weight/height. The plastic soles of the recreational Jackson skates (including artiste) aren't meant to support jumps. Little kids can typically get away with it because they're light, but if you're 80+ lbs, the artiste are really only rated for very basic levels. Had a friend in them whose sole shattered on a landing while practicing waltz jumps, almost broke an ankle from the fall (probably weighed around 130 lbs)
it's different for everyone. Are you an adult or a teen who is adult sized? Jackson recommends the Elle for singles if you weigh less than 60lbs and the Fresstyle if you weigh more, than 60lbs.
@@L4VXV The best thing to do is get fitted at a good skate shop. They'll be able to recommend a boot that is suitable for you. Mystiques might be fine whilst you're starting your single jumps but they probably won't get you through them all. Good luck and happy skating!
@@sofiafigureskates ofccc! Ur a huge inspiration to me as I do artistic roller skating! It’s completely different but recently I’ve been becoming more advanced and I’m thinking about buying some new edea skates. If you have any recommendations for the boot, that would be awesome!! Thank youuu x
Your current skates are absolutely stunning 😍
Idk if its just me, but figure skates are always so pretty! They are just aesthetic to look at!
Super expensive though! If you want to get a pair get some used ones first,they are cheaper!hope this helps⛸️💗💗💗

Typically it’s from lacing them wrong when it’s Edea but I can’t say for sire
Ya you need to lace them through the top
The ones u started with are my starter skates too!!
I am getting them when i move up to freestyle 3!😅
So Cool ❤⛸️
u inspired me to skate again
Recommend graf boleros for beginners, the blades are good for tiny spins ❤
??
@@Chronicallygingerwhat
I love ice flysss there my favssss I currently skate with them too
I have Edea ice flys but for u I recommend chorus for single jump bc ice flys are for doubled and triples
I already had chorus for singles and they broke down within 10 months !
When doing your jumps, you could try wear guards on ur wrist and practice with protection until you can get the height and confidence , it will pay off
I'm currently on my third pair of skates too! Your videos and skating is absolutely amazing, thank you for inspiring me and many other people. 💕
You’ve honestly inspired me to figure skate I love your channel so much❤❤❤ your awesome 🎉🎉
omg thank uuu❤
I skate in Edea Ice Fly too. Had them over a year, and they are great!
I love those skates u can bedazzle the middle part to
i've wanted edea boots and the john wilson blades for such a long time! im working on doubles soon!
ugh girl u have sm resources 😭 ive been skating for 2 yrs and i had to save up for my jacksons, idek when ill get edeas 💀
i had to save up for my recent pair!! i buy them myself haha
Sofia no hate but edea ice fly are for dobbel axel and stuff edea overture are good for single jumps and basic jumps
My first skates were Jackson too, then Riedell, and then Edea
Those are the skates that I’m gonna get
You inspire me so much, you’re incredible😍 I really wanna be your friend hahahaha
let’s be besties
@@sofiafigureskates 100%
I started with Jackson’s Evos
I love the little side gems on the side of your current skates! I wish I had mine. Btw, question; what level are you currently?
In my club it would be star 2😊
She’s only like freestyle one
@@TorrynG59 I mean, it looks like she’s doing camel spins in her later videos so I’d guess not.
I’ve been on the same pare for about 3 years 😭😭😭
Can I just I’m a figure skater to and I love your channel
Thanks!!!
heyyyyy i have the same skates as you!!!! (i'm in the beginner ones you had)
I’m currently using Jackson Elle skates, they’re actually my mom’s, but she hasn’t used them in years, so now I get to use them. Yay!
What are the best skates? I'm a beginner figure skater and I was planning to upgrade to figure skates instead of rentals
You should get Jackson artiste if you are just coming out of rentals. You don’t need the best of the best skates until you start doing double or triple jumps
What do you mean by broke down??? I’ve had chorus for about a year and so dubble jump with it. I’ve had 4,different pairs as well and never had a problem
they broke down and lost their support over time

Figure skating with hockey shoes>>>
I started in Jackson Ultima skates (I started at 8, so I was size 3.5)
I started in Jackson Artiste and I'm still in them and learning singles
I’m sort of a beginner and I use Jackson artiste
I started out in graf 500s, went to jackson elles, and next im getting rf3 pros with either black or green jackson legacy blades
I wanna skate but I can’t :( I’m too non flexible and I suck at it ：（
Imagine getting expensive af ice flys for doubles 😭😭😭😭 i wish
She’s actually doing singles…
I started on Jackson’s 200/500 (I don’t remember) gonna go to Artiste soon (Probably closer to November)
Are the Jackson artiste OK for waltz jumps and single salchows?
yes!! i learned my first waltz jumps in them
@@sofiafigureskates hi! what level are you? i am star 3 !
You don’t need ice flys at your level
more goes into consideration when buying skates than just skill level
I love the skates but always put your leggings over the laces cause when you’re doing the spins they could accidentally get caught on the other skate
hi! i’m learning my single jumps rn (waltz, toe loop, salchow). do you recommend edea skates? i only go a couple times a week and right now i have jackson’s

Do Edea Chorus really last a very short time?
Thank you so much! Also any advice on a two foot spin? I am stil leanring 😅❤😊
i reco going on no pair [no blade and boot] before going to blade and boot seperate bc they are wayy cheaper[i think]
How much were the boots and blades for the second one combined? I’ve been begging my mom for edeas but she’s telling me to stick with my riddells. I’ve been doing doubles in my riddells for like half a year and I’m kinda sick of it 😭
the chorus boots were around $500 and the blades were $300
Could you do a tutorial on rocking horse?
You just do a forward swizzle then a backward swizzle. If you need help with those, there are lots of videos online. Coach Julia has some good tips for various moves.
@@Eric-xh9ee okkk thank you
Is it bad that im landing doubles in graf 500s?
Were you able to keep your blades from the Chorus to the Ice Fly?
I would’ve been able to, but I had to size down in boots so I had to get a new (smaller) blade as well :’)
Ill probs get thr jackson skates next christmas

Aren’t those newest skates not right for your current level? I’m just guessing but the shoes you got are meant for more advanced skaters.

day 1 of asking for a vid abt good skates for beginners that are cheap
i currently have jackson artiste skates, i’m learning basic jumps, im wondering when i should get new skates.
There's a chart on the Jackson website that shows recommended range of skating levels that each model handles. Artiste handles until level Freestyle2

Naah it is too advanced for what you can do

its not just about the jumps. she’d be spending more if she had to buy choruses every 10 months.
It's about weight, not jumps. It's only jump rated for kids, not adults. Adults weigh 3-4 times as much as kids so the jump rating is useless.
