Came here because my friend invited me to go ice skating after Christmas, anyone else here for the same reason? 😅 Update! (01/22/2020) I FINALLY went ice-skating, pretty scary- of course I fell on my bottom so many times but I got the hang of it and these tips did help :)
I went ice skating when I was 10yrs old it was a horrible experience, painful and cold. I went on a ice skating date last night, tis the season. A week ago I found this video and watched this video a handful of times learning the tips offered. It took about 5 laps in the rink to get the hang of it but after using all the tips you offered i was able to enjoy the rest of the evening skating/gliding not running or even touching the rail. Thank you so much! Staggered wide base, bent knees and the penguin walk saved me thank you!
I'm going ice skating for the first time ever this Saturday so I wanted to know a little something before I got out onto the ice. This was a very good video!
Today is my 15th birthday and I just went ice skating it’s supper fun and difficult. I went with my best friend we only fell a couple of times. I was struggling for the first 20 minutes on how to go forwards. I was able to balance and stand still. Finally for the last 30 minutes I understood and got way better at it!! I was also more comfortable with pushing off one foot, but I was trying to get used to 2. I think my shoes were too tight, because I now have blisters on my feet, but I had lots of fun with my best friend, he only fell down once (forward) and I fell a couple times forwards. My grandma didn’t believe in me nor others, but my parents and best friend believed in me and I think that is what pushed me to keep trying! I can’t wait to go back!! Also for beginners I suggest going to the side and placing your hand there for support so you get comfortable (advanced and intermediate skaters regionally stay in the middle area practicing tricks) stay close to the wall that is what I did along with other beginners.
I've heard figure skates are better for beginners as they have a longer blade. The downside is the toe pick which will cause you to trip if you catch the pick in the ice. Also it's easier to skate if you don't hug the wall. Try marching and then gliding before taking proper strides.
figure skates are for sure NOT better for beginners. Not only the toe pick, the elevation near the heel tends to throw people off balance. Hockey skates are 100% a better start
The ice skating rink where this video was filmed was the place where I took my first steps on the ice. I'd say the begginer penguin-things are so much more helpful than other places. Still, pretty cool coincidence!
Going from roller skates to ice skates... Roller skates, you lean to turn, and ice skates, you point your toe to turn... This is going to be interesting learning both... Also, ice skates feel bumpy, like riding on rough concrete, and roller skates are smooth on the wood rink. The ice changes character over time, where the roller rink is rather consistent, unless they have freshly waxed or buffed it, in which case it can feel a little slippery... Also, ice skating feels more difficult as "working the edges" and blade rocker, where roller skates feel like there is less of an issue with edge control.
I should have watched this before we went ice skating yesterday..but it was fun 1st time on ice..i want to keep coming back and skate..good thing i figured out what to do while skating..the reason why i did not fall😉
Elaine de Dios I know your comment is 9 months old. But same! 😂 Me and my family went skating yesterday, but none of use know how. And now body hurts tbh ;-; But still, Its fun to skate.
Great great video! Not too short and not too long. It actually helped a great deal my first time on the ice. The little touches of humor made the video! thank you! AWESOME JOB!
it works, every single tips. I went for ice skating and didn’t fall, at all, by using these tricks. Another trick is to use ice hockey’s skates or hybrid skates. I found those is much easier to keep balance. Also, before entering the rink, you can moving left right like a little penguin to get used to the skates. I also used tips I learn from roller skaters to keep balance. Have fun skating, everyone!!! Thanks for the great video!!!!
I’m going for my third time today so I’m excited! I’ve been rollerblading for about 6 years and I’ve skating is harder but it’s still really fun and similar so I got a head start on it! Thank you!
1. Bend knees stay low for balance 2. Skates shoulder width apart, 1 slightly in front of other 3. Arms for balance 4. Wobble like penguin to gain speed, push skates to side, dont run squat 5. To T-stop drag 1 foot behind (inner edge, foot behind you), to plow-stop with 1 skate (foot in front of you) 6. Lock skates at angle when still 7. loosen laces before wearing, double/triple not 8. feel the balance from one leg to the other 9. Don;t bend skates in or outward. Keep the straight and inline. 10.
Not an absolute beginner, I used to ice skate, I've been going a lot more now, going again tomorrow (Went Saturday) But I love your videos, and this should be helpful, as before I started going again, and getting lessons, the last time I went ice skating was eight years ago. I used to be really good too, used to go all the time, but when I went back on the ice I was terrible. I love ice skating, and I'm going to do it whenever I can.
Same situation here but it's been about nine years since I've taken lessons. I go every now and then but it's not consistent enough to show any true improvement. I really need to get back into it. It's one of those things that I truly regret stopping as a child. I feel so free on the ice.
I went ice skating 6 times but I’m still the same level as before. 2 hours each time. I still hold on the board and once I let go but I fell on my back multiple times.
@@Maddox63 Hahah i was waiting for someone to remind me. As soon as I got on the ice I forgot almost everything and just clung to the edge like my life depended on it.
@@Maddox63 Main thing I'd say is make sure to remember how to get up if you fall and how to catch yourself if you are falling. Very important stuff haha
greetings from Toronto, Canada. I just started skating and just finished my 5th week. I can now stand up, skate and my fall is less frequent. I came here to see how to stop. Good video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you. The first beginner video so far that shows you how to skate by pushing to the side rather than marching and does not give hundreds of complicated instructions! Great!
3 friends and I are going ice skating soon and I’m the only one who knows how to ice skate (4 years) this helps me explain how :) keep up the good work
thanks so much!this is so short yet so understandable and simple!I am watching this the night before I go to ice skate for the first time with my friend!😅😃
Nice video! I've been skating a few times, but it's been a while. I'm writing a scene with a newbie ice skater, so I came here looking for tips the more advanced character can give him. I found exactly what I needed!
I play roller derby and all these tips are EXACTLY how I already play, so hopefully with the experience I already have my first time on ice won't be completely awful.
Going ice skating with my dad tomorrow, let's hope i don't break anything (8/30/21) I really enjoyed it and now I'm talking beginner classes, I'm awful at ice skating but I'm hopeful
im going iceskating with my friends in a few days, and i've never done it before. i hope this helps make me seem at least a little knowledgeable at what i'm doing haha.
i am not much of a beginner i can skate pretty well but i just taught my self by looking at others so i was wondering if i did it properly and it helped thx
I’m really sad cause i have a problem were my ankle is naturally side ways even when I’m walking so ice skating is not something i can do but i do enjoy watching others skate
Thanks I’m in ice skating camp and I got it a little bit all I want is to impress my parents especially my dad bc he used to play hockey and hes so good at ice skating
Sorry, can't quite catch the name -- JPJ? Just wanted to say thanks for the vids on inline and ice skating. Love your sense of humor! Learning on inlines and hoping to head to the ice rink this season. Cheers from the States! = )

Forcing your foot back into shoe is a great tip as your skste laces up without any loose pockets and a better fit for more control, excellent
