Ahhhhh thank you so much for this coach Julia!!! I’ve been hacking away at this move for months and haven’t been able to figure out why I always end up way off the circle on that final forward outside edge. Now I know it’s the c-step that’s messing it up and how to fix it! Now if I can get my left leg spiral and the other c-step in the crossover pattern into shape then maybe I can FINALLY test adult pre-bronze moves. Thanks for the video!
Can you please do a video about testing and the different kinds of moves. My daughter is about to test with this move. She is so nervous but I am always so proud of her! Your tips are helpful she just loves you channel
Julia this is very helpful yet another element to hone. I can't thank you enough for the detailing and your videographer for zoom in slo-mo takes...as an adult skater (in my 5th decade ) I am grateful for your effort and expertise! P.S. I didn't realize that I was doing or that I could do a back outside mohawks until you pointed it out in this video 🙃😀 but can you clarify in this video are you executing back outside open or closed mohawk @ 5:09
Oh thank you so much! I appreciate that! This would be considered an open Mohawk since your legs are in an open position at the end. I will make a video sometime explaining the difference between open and closed.
Agree. I am 4th decade (just 4 1/2 last Wednesday). Going slow and point out arms, and body is bmvery helpful. I sometimes feel that I am moving my hips too much. Very helpful coach Julia.
@@lilianmatheson3664 belated happy birthday . Remember slow and steady wins the race. I promised myself mantra that I don't care how long it will take me to refine elements so long as I'm making progress (vs. perfection) I am happy. Skating has taught me to swallow my pride ,be more humble and patient 😁
@@midgechickma you are so nice. Thank you. Yes, slow and steady. I love skating, it is fun when I finally can do a skill. So fun to share with other friends on same level.
I’m testing adult pre-bronze moves in November and this is the final skill I have to master. I’ll have to try the arms you show in this video and see if that helps keep me more stable on that final step forward to the outside edge. Thank you for the video!
Hey, this was helpful. You showed how to divide the circle and what circles to use. Thank you, Coach Julia - I know my waltz-three is too fast, but I will try this.
She's saying to use your knees in the 3 turns but her skating leg looks straight here in the turns - either there is something really subtle going on or I'm missing the knee action?
It's really subtle. But she's definitely using her knees - there's a down-up-down motion of your knee as you press, rise to rock to the front of your blade and turn, and them press back down.
I love your videos, coach Julia, and they are helping me even with roller skates... But I would like to suggest you to present the move in the begging of the video, and than the explanations... Just to see if it will be about one is searching (I am not a natural English speaking and this would be more visual). Thank you so much for your videos. Regards from Brazil 🥰🙏❤️🇧🇷
Kewl! I love footwork! But the kicker; my other coach does the arms so that I would face away from the circle when doing a FO3. So I’ll have to adjust accordingly 😢 Now, for my skating diary part… Today I met a 47 year old flutist/skater at the rink. Actually introduced ourselves a few months ago, but had a proper chat for the first time today. Yeah, her real job is as a flutist, but she’s trying to fuse that with skating, all self taught. How awesome is that? Anyways, we talked about how we (40+ adults) should stay away from jumps and go with spins and footwork. As for me, footwork is improving every week. Spins? 😮💨 I’ll go with jumps. No matter how many times I crash.
Got back from the rink. Yes, I tried this and it was a little rough at first but got pretty smooth after a few tries. 😊 Again I ran into the flutist/skater who asked me to shoot a video of her doing her thing. At the end, she said she was getting ready to launch a little flute/skating club with the ultimate goal to do a fancy recital at the rink in a few years, and asked me if I was interested…definitely interested in the skating part. But not sure about the flute. BTW, this person seems to have her channel. Look up “세계최초 Figure Flutist” (just copy and paste that text) and you can see some of her performances. The latest video is the one I shot today.
Coach Julia, How expensive was your ice time? Have you seen a return on investment with your TH-cam instructional films? Thank you. Enjoy the day. Sincerely & Respectfully, R.W.N II
One more cool thing I've found....if anyone's interested more in the figures, tracings, The World Figure Sport Society, World Figure and Fancy Skating Championships.....websites and TH-cam channels...look them up! They skate on black ice so their designs show up! ⛸️⛸️💕

Super helpful. I'm retaking my adult MITF. I'm thinking touching down on the waltz eight is what got me on my first test.
I hope it goes better the second time around!

@@CoachJulia thank you for making that clear

I just had this shown to me yesterday. That combined with this video and I think I might actually be able to test soon!
Finally! Amazing tutorial. I’ve been waiting for this for a while. Hoping to test this soon
Hope you enjoy it!
I passed pre-bronze two months ago. I hated working on this thing. Strangely enough the bronze figures are easier (for me).
My girls are learning this move for there first moves on the first test. I need to show this movie to them. Thnx Coach
Fantastic!
great waltz 8 thank you so much!!!

You are welcome! I hope my tips help you!
I wish I had seen this video before my test. It would have been very helpful. Good luck
Hey, this was helpful. You showed how to divide the circle and what circles to use. Thank you, Coach Julia - I know my waltz-three is too fast, but I will try this.
Glad it was helpful!
I just started a figures class at my skating rink. So challenging and such good practice.
It really is!
Can you do videos of some bronze moves too? The Mohawk 5 step sequence and the one foot figure 8 pattern??
I am so glad you like learning the moves! I will try to get Bronze in the mix soon!
@@CoachJulia me too. ❤️
Needed this!!
Can i take moves in the field tests without a coach?
Whery big thank you for dis.❤️
You're welcome 😊

It's really subtle. But she's definitely using her knees - there's a down-up-down motion of your knee as you press, rise to rock to the front of your blade and turn, and them press back down.
Can I ask what kind of skates those are?
I wear Custom Harlick Skating Boots with MK Gold Star Revolution blades. I LOVE them!

hi coach julia! do you think you could do a video on rocker-choctaws? or on each of the mitf levels like preliminary and pre juvenile, etc?
Great suggestion!
Thanx for this simple and useful test. "Simple"😩😩😩
You're welcome 😅
Oh dear. I just got flashbacks. Including my fall at the end! 🤣
😅
Kewl! I love footwork!

I hope the arm adjustment is helpful for you.
Are they just changing the name to skating skills or are the changing the levels and requirements too?
Just the names. The skills do sometimes change, but at this time it is just the name.
(The coach Dana Tang made the MITF app)
Yes! I have seen that app. Very helpful.
I’m watching this even though I won’t be doing this until later down the line lol
That's ok! It's good to know what is ahead.
niceee
I am glad you like it
Thank you so much! This video helping me to practice for my competion! 😁
That’s great! Good luck with your competition.
