Hey everyone! Wanted to ask a favor If you enjoy my channel, please remember to subscribe! Most of my viewers are not subscribed. With more likes and subscribers, my videos will be “recommended” by TH-cam to reach more skaters worldwide. I will always continue to post FREE TH-cam and Instagram skating content to give back to the skating community. It has been such a joy the past year making videos and connecting with you all. Thank you for your love and support!
This is really helpful! I'm a self taught figure skater and I can do a few basics. For some reason I can do the waltz jump but I can't skate backwards lol
We go ice skating as a family once or twice a year. I'll definitely check out your videos before we go again next winter so we don't fall on our bottoms so much! You make skating backwards look so easy!
Hi, thank you for the lesson. Recently I got inspired to try skating again next winter after 3 years break, so this is helpful for the future. I've watched several videos already and wonder why no one talks about balancing your weight when on skates and using the body? I do cycling as well and recently realized that I should use my body when i turn left or right on my bicycle. If I try to keep my body straight and up like I do while I ride just forward I FAIL to turn safely, I immediately feel that I lose balance and have to cancel the turn move and instead go forward/stop to avoid a crash. Now I know that I should lean towards the side of a turn, the weight of my body really adds angle, safety and easiness to my turn. From that moment I began to wonder if that was also my mistake when skating (I'm really average skater with no skills, I can just glide forward), maybe I didn't use my body properly thus I were so stiff on skates, though I remember I tried different ways of balancing and still failed to reach a feeling of true freedom on skates, I stayed tense.
I've been skating for a couple of months now on my own and I'm able to kinda skate backwards but not properly, so this video has helped me to understand what I've been doing wrong! I'm going skating later so I'll be sure to try these tips! Update: I can officially skate backwards! 😂👌 Gotta work on my balance a little because I don't skate straight, I'm a little wonky, but my speed and technique is good!
