so a couple days ago I asked if I would be able to start skating even though I'm 13, you guys said yes ! I brought it up to my parents and they bought me skating lessons and my first practice is this Monday, I'm super nervous so I was wondering if y'all had any tips? ❤ love you guys and thanks so much edit: thank you everyone for the love!! I've been skating for 4 weeks now and I can skate, spin, glide, swizzle, and lunge !!! ❤
Don’t be nervous! The great thing about being older is that you will fly through the levels and understand the coaches better! Don’t feel intimidated by the little kids. Everyone has their own goals in this sport and most little kids aren’t motivated enough because their parents signed them up. Having your own motivation to go far in skating will make you a better skater in the end! If you are using rental skates, try to find a pair that have the most hooks on the side. We have brown ones that usually help skaters have more stability compared to our grey ones that have the support of a hockey skate(which is NOTHING) very scary so make sure your ankles feel supported before you step on! Hope classes go great Monday!
chicken nugget just relax I started skating when I was 12 and at the age of 14 with only a year of lessons and I'm amazed at how far I've come with jumps , spirals and spins But remember to be patient because is comes with time ❤️ P.s. You'll get used to falling to the point it no longer hurts
me, i started ice dancing last year (i was 12) and the most important thing is that you must stay positive and never give up, good luck :) (sorry for my english im french😓)
Vitamin that I like the best....Vitamin D. We’re often deficient in it, due to shorter days in the winter. I’ve tested a bit low on it, which may have partially caused major muscle and joint stiffness/soreness last winter, and kept me off the ice for about 8 weeks. I don’t care to experience that ever again.
@@LifeOnThinIce I would go get tested at a doctor's office first (it's a simple blood test). You doctor would be able to tell you what dose you should take if you are low. Ideally, one's Vitamin D level should be 40, although 30 is considered to be the minimum level of "normal." Thankfully, Vitamin D is easy to get, as it's available at any vitamin section of any store, and it's not super expensive (generally under $10) if you do need it. Plus, consuming foods with Vitamin D in it (like milk) may also help.
I’ve been testing by a doctor before and I’m supposed to take vitamin D. Especially since I drink a lot of almond milk and not regular milk. The best thing to do is just take a multivitamin everyday if you know that you aren’t severely deficient in a certain vitamin.
I freaking love this channel! You always seem to be having a good laugh and having fun! I've just started skating, but I freestyle on hockey skates (lol don't hate me). I love the idea of figure skating but I'm very much a non-graceful guy and can't afford lessons anyway! Hockey is way too brutal and competitive. I found freestyle to be a kinda weird "meet in the middle" thing!
Me: Dear WikiHow, I read your skating tutorials and I am left handed what should I do? Wiki: Become right-handed. That what I feel about WikiHow. Also as a person who just learned their axel, with those steps... I call BS.
So, I have a problem and need your advice... I started skating when I was 10 and ended up not having enough time for it. I’m restarting and I’m only doing open skates, do you have any advice for me before I start doing lessons again? Thx so much if your reading this! Have a great day, morning, afternoon, night, or evening!
Me and my friend Abby watch you guys before our practice and we get late to our practice time so our coach makes us do 10 laps around the rink BUT ITS WORTH IT
It’s totally okay to fall during competition! Don’t stress about it. Actually it will be helpful because now you can set a goal for your next competition. To get through the program clean! Again don’t worry I’m pretty sure we have all fallen numerous times in competition!
Where I live the lessons are set up really weird so I only have one 20 minute lesson a week. But there is a public skate on sundays, so I only get to skate twice a week. So any tips on how I can learn a lot of things faster?
I did. When it came time to get a new pair everyone was having trouble with the stitching being terrible. The pair that came in for me had hard fabric digging into my toes because they didn’t stitch or cut close enough so it would be seamless. I switched to Risports because they are a sister brand to Edea and aren’t as high in demand as edea is. Everyone in Italy and Russia wear risports instead of edea.
can someone help me in 12 years old and I'm in startskate and I have been learning my single jumps for 1 year now and I'm scared that I'm going to fall. can someone tell me how to overcome my fear. or what helped yoy
honestly when I’m scared to fall I just fall on purpose. Like literally slide onto the ice. So that when Im doing whatever I already know how it feels to fall and I get less scared of it.
At some point you’ve got to realize that you are destine to fall at some point. For singles the worst that can happen is you fall on your bottom. You’ve got to realize that most single jumps aren’t even a full rotation around(except for axle). Falling is just part of the process of learning. Trust the technique of your coach and try the correction they make for the jump. The more you try and fully commit, the faster you’ll get the jump. Simple as that. Hope that helped :)
Every skater must fall. You'll never learn if you don't. This may sound dumb but to help me feel not so scared of falling, I always tell myself that if I fall and die I won't have to take anymore exams and that usually gets me going.
Hi, it's not related to this video but I have one question for figure skaters! I can barely move on the ice but I enjoy watching figure skating and I'm curious about what muscles are used in spins to increase the speed. Thanks!
Hey I started skating ten months ago and I’ve done 1 competition and I got 1st place but now I’m doing jumps and still a little self conscious about falling any tips to make it less “scary” I guess 😂
Falling is a part of this sport so at some point you need to learn to accept and be comfortable with that. Which by the way is incredibly difficult even for me because it’s essentially a skill that takes lots of time and confidence. In the meantime, however, it’s always helpful to wear padding. There are butt pads as well as knee and elbow pads! I think the thought of falling is scarier than actually falling. So once you fall, it’s important that you remember that it wasn’t so bad and falling again isn’t gonna kill you.
Do you think it would be worth it to buy actual figure skates just to skate for fun but often? (basically not skating competitively, but to just skate) I’ve heard figure skates seem to be way smoother than rental skates, and rental skates is all I’ve ever used. Just wanna ask someone who actually figure skates. Thanks!
If you are going often enough it would be cheaper and better in the long run. Also it depends on the rink but the majority of time rentals are not good quality and are not smooth
Yes, absolutely! The rental skates are actually so bad. Skating will be much more enjoyable with proper skates. Just find a good quality pair, but don’t spend a crazy amount of money on them :) hope this helps!
helloo! so ive wanted to get into skating since i was 12 after being a rhythmic gymnast for 6years and quitting because i hated it and had no passion for the sport. im now 14 and im thinking about getting into skating now and is it too late? my brother (who's 15) too wants to get into skating. he wanted to join ice hockey but my parents said its too dangerous so he turned to figure skating and we're thinking of starting sometime this week. if we do end up joining, which package should i choose? group (4-10 people), semi-private (2-3 people) or private (1 person). i hope you do see this and help me out :) xx
@@kimieteoh4504 I'd say try it out for a bit to see if you're really determine in skating before buying skates since it can be costly. If you find out you really want to stick with skating I suggest buying Jackson's since they're cheaper skates and perfect for beginners. Also get them sharpened.
If there is a minor price difference, I’d go with group or semi bc it can be more fun and motivational to work with other people, especially if you are on the same level! It all depends with what kind of learner are you are! Hope this helped!
Hey Guys! This is important for me and i love if you could give me some feed back! So i really want to figure skate! But theres no where around! No clubs, rinks, or even classes! I practice at Salem on ice.. but they close at the end of the month! Figure skating is really important to me. What can i do? I hope you guys can understand how important this sport is for me and how much i wanna improve! Watching you videos makes me wanna jump on the ice! Thanks ly guys!
Hi!! I totally understand your love for figure skating! It’s a huge commitment and if you are not able to make it to an ice rink that’s okay. To maintain your skills you need to do off ice exercises which Claire posted a video on and also stretch. If possible, check and see if you have any roller rinks nearby. It’s not exactly like ice skating but it’s pretty close and it can help you keep your skills sharp when the ice is down and you don’t have any other options. I hoped this helped!! ❤️

Bend the knees! Try to do everything off ice first and then try it on ice, it will be different but it will help with remembering the movements

Omg when I was younger and I was learning salchows I followed a wikihow article XD Yeah my coach was NOT impressed...
i got my crossover finally :)
How long did it take you guys?
Sandy Jones I had a crossover in 3 weeks but it was not pretty.... I got my good crossovers in like a month
3:42 it looked like she was going into a salchow
Charlotte Williams
You don’t say????
Did watch 5 seconds later to see she did?
@@akward__alexis3206 I'm talking about the wikihow image itself... it looked like she was going into a salchow.

This video is genius. I haven't seen any other figure skating channel post a video like this and it's really interesting too. Loved it.
Thank you!!
5:30 , Why did I heard "Fuck" at first? 😂 (btw, I really love your videos , i’m a late skater and you help me so much ❤️)
I don’t even figure skate but I enjoy your videos so much!
I can’t stop watching your videos 😂😂
I freaking love this channel! You always seem to be having a good laugh and having fun!
I've just started skating, but I freestyle on hockey skates (lol don't hate me). I love the idea of figure skating but I'm very much a non-graceful guy and can't afford lessons anyway! Hockey is way too brutal and competitive. I found freestyle to be a kinda weird "meet in the middle" thing!
Thank you!! Also, that really shows the beauty of skating and how it offers so much for you to enjoy 😊
I actually taught myself a waltz jump using TH-cam videos and wikihow😂😂😂😂

Me and my friend Abby watch you guys before our practice and we get late to our practice time so our coach makes us do 10 laps around the rink BUT ITS WORTH IT
This is the greatest compliment we’ve ever received😂
Ok I’m asking not for a friend but I just did a competition and I fell in the middle of my thing is this rare or does it happen often

I like vitamine c too! Lol
I was laughing so hard while watching thid omg! :D
Great video. Will Amy be any of your future videos?
Yep!!
as a dancer that now skates, the unhelpful ballet part was 1000% legit! I died!
the editing on this video is gold
We love Sarah our wonderful editor 😊
I had to laugh so hard😂
Favorite supplement? Collagen!! It lessens my pimples and gives me nice skin~
Love your channel x
I loved the video! It was completely awesome! XD and omg I like vitamin C too!! ❤👌
Is this a new video? So sad I was the first viewer and liked on the other one
The first time I uploaded it, it only posted 4 minutes of it.
Where I live the lessons are set up really weird so I only have one 20 minute lesson a week. But there is a public skate on sundays, so I only get to skate twice a week. So any tips on how I can learn a lot of things faster?
Private lessons are the best way to learn faster!
I want to see you roller blading.
Wait I’m confused about Sarah 😂 I thought she had Edea Pianos, what happened 😂?
I did. When it came time to get a new pair everyone was having trouble with the stitching being terrible.

I switched to Risports because they are a sister brand to Edea and aren’t as high in demand as edea is. Everyone in Italy and Russia wear risports instead of edea.
Life On Thin Ice oh ok thanks for the update!!
Can we just talk about the fact that the second step was literally already "LETS DO SOME FRICKIN JUMPS I WANNA SEE YOU BREAK A LEG!"
I love you guys and my favorite vitamin is D & C. :P great job following Wikihow Ice Skating :D

It's a lot about having a tight core, it helps to be stable and also helps you stay in one place when spinning.
@@bored_af5218 Thank you so much! So also increasing/decreasing the speed during spins is a matter of tightening or relaxing core muscles?
