    Thanks Katie. I started learning to skate at 71 and am now 75. Progress is slow but I'm still plugging away.

      That is too old to be skating. Your body is already shutting down. Your bones are becoming more and more brittle. If you fall you will likely break something and paramedics may not be able to extract you from the ice, meaning you will have to be physically dragged to a point where paramedics can safely extract you. If there's a stair or something your gonna have to be lifted over that with broken bones. The rise in heart rate from that may cause a heart attack. I mean when I tore my ACL playing tennis I had to fight to stay awake, I was gonna pass out. I did manage to beat I think it was No. 1 in the state, not in that match obviously, I mean he beat me like 50 times we played and I beat him once... but that one victory.

    I'm 20 and I'm starting classes in less than a month. Ive heard from people close to me I'm too old, but I do have the passion for it so I'm gonna try my hardest anyways :) I think about skating pretty much everyday so I can't NOT do it
    EDIT: It's almost November now and I've been having lessons with my private coach and we're working on jumps and spins! If you're older don't give up! You can do it, if I did anyone can :)

      I started when I was 10 and I've been skating for 3 years and I'm on a synchro team and I do competitons, you'll get to a certain level at some point but just remember when you want to quit think of why you started lol

  • @mak_moon3753
    @mak_moon3753 7 ปีที่แล้ว +121

    It's never too young/old to Ice state, in fact there's a 2yr old girl who is a figure skater and a 90yr old lady who says that it's easier than walking and skates every day, so its never too late if you have a passion

  • @clairelemus1965

    Whenever I get an injury, people think it was on the ice. Like one time I sprained my ankle off ice. I had to explain I was being really stupid and clumsy and it is difficult to injure your feet in skates

      Sopue I almost got a concussion and a sprained arm from back crossovers. And I did a big flip jump landed perfectly into a beautiful spiral as I was stroking out I fell and got bloody elbows and a bruised knee:/

    • @LauraandJeremy
      @LauraandJeremy 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I've gotten injured on the ice before, but mainly just bruises and sprained wrists. But I do get bad bruises on the front of my hip bones if I fall forward and don't catch myself. Hopefully if I gain some weight there will be more padding there to protect me!

    I really appreciated the part where you explained what part of the blades you're supposed to be on. I've been skating for ages, so I know this, but basically no other beginner's tutorials mention this. Thanks for sharing!

  • @sophieshizzle21
    @sophieshizzle21 7 ปีที่แล้ว +537

    1.) Watch Yuri on Ice
    2.) Be inspired by Yuri on Ice
    3.) think about going ice-skating
    4.) forgot you absolutely can't skate.
    5.) result in TH-cam tutorials..

    I'm 60 and started ice staking for first time. Thanks to my granddaughter who started and encouraged me to do the same. I been using youtube videos like yours to get ideas on what to do. So thanks it has been helpful. I found your video that explains the curvature of the blade helpful. So with that, trying to skate backwards as well. It hasn't been easy and progress is slow, but having lots of fun. Always looking forward to the next time to get on the ice.

    I’m about to start figure skating at the age 20, and this really helps. I was supposed to figure skate when I was a lot younger, but our local rink had mine subsidence and was no longer able to be used so I switched to cheer. Now that we just built a new rink, I’m so exited to be able to start doing what I’ve been wanting to for a long time

    • @_bunnyhop

      Basically when your weight is so far back on your blade that they just slip off and you fall on your tailbone...

I have great times just thinking how much it is to move on ice and how I can do it now alone...took me the whole month to leave my Trainor's hand hahaha but I think I'll love doing this for my whole life...not as a pro like you but as a personal happy activity to make me smile once in a while ;)

    I'm starting soon, in about 2 weeks and I'm so excited. I've wanted to start since i was 7-8 but my parents thought it was too dangerous for me. I'm thirteen and my mum said I can start so I'm really happy! The oldest person that started learning to ice skate where I'm starting at was 64 years old so my mum's learning with me too. C:

    my city has just one please to do ice skating, and my mom can't pay for my lessons, but now I can start to learn by myself thanks to your videos
    Thank you 😀😊

    Thank you for all the great advice! I've watched all of your figure skating lesson videos and you're a great teacher. I was wondering if you could do a video on the very basic moves like spins, going backwards and crossovers? I have a hard time teaching myself these moves and think it would be great to have your expert tips!

    Thank you so much for this video. I start lessons at the end of the summer and I'm super excited for them. But I'm also very nervous because I've just recovered from a major hip surgery from last summer and my mom and I are worried about me falling on the ice. But other than that I'm super excited.

    Thank you so much for this video! I have wanted to start skating since I was very young.. but I was always discouraged by friends and family, so I never started. But now I am at college and a new figure skating club has started so I signed up! I m TERRIFIED because I have never touched the ice.. but I need to at least once! I think this really helped me! Thank you so much! I'm definitely subscribing! ☺️

    Great video! I never had the occasion to have skating lessons as the ice rink is too far from where I live but I'm fond of this sport so I go skating on my one almost everyday during winter holidays. Anyway I knew most of these tips but honestly the most helpful tip was how to position the ankles as mine always always tend to bend in. Anyway could you do a video explaining how to do more "advanced" things like easy spins or jumps? Greetings from France

      Tara Duncan for sound and jumps you really need a coach also before anything crossovers good edges and 3 turns are a must have you considered artistic rollerblading? It's slightly different but you would be able to practice everyday

    I've been wanting to figure skate for the longest time, but it's SO expensive. My dad said he could take me to a public skating rink this winter, so I'm watching this video to help me when I go. I just hope someday I will be able to figure skate.

    • @alchemical9509
      @alchemical9509 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Every beginner figure skating class teaches you how to ice skate at first. When I was starting, I couldn't even balance on concrete XD but now I'm fluent in skating, I actually find it easier then walking tbh X3

  • @springday3842
    @springday3842 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I started rollerblading at a rly young age so it helped when I first skated because I at least have my balance worked out. The difference would probs be the friction on the side, you can’t rly go against the rollerblades cuz it ruins the rubber but with skates you can (I believe with the turns and spins) so for anyone who wants to start skating but don’t have access to a skating rink, rollerblades is a good beginner.

    When you starting talking about age of starting to skate I seriously started tearing up.. Being a figure skater was always my dream but since getting a teacher plus the time spent doing it would be too expensive... I just gave it up. I've only been on the ice twice in my life once when I was 12 and once the other day... (I'm 18) ;-; I don't know when I can go again... It's really so amazing to me though I can't do anything too fancy yet.. I WANNA GO AGAIN AS SOON AS I CAN ;-;
