  • Watch my year-2 video here: • A Year of Figure Skati...
    Many would say I started figure skating late. But I say there's no such thing as "too late".
    If you find a passion for figure skating in your heart, you're unstoppable!
    Some might progress fast while others progress slower, but what matters is having fun on the way! I hope this video inspires you to go out there, try ice skating for yourself, and don't hold back because you're "not young enough".
    Q/ how old were you when you started?
    i was 17!! (born in 1999)
    Q/ How many times a week did you train?
    about 2-4 times a week and 2 hours each. in the beginning i didn’t skate as much tho.
    Q/ did you teach yourself in the beginning?
    no, i actually attended skating school which was a 30 minute group lesson once a week!!

Considering I don't have a private coach (I do group lessons) and only practice once a week, Ive gotten pretty far. I'll be competing for the first time tomorrow with some friends from my class! :D I definitely think you can do it. For me it helped when I balanced out the fun and amount of work that goes into skating. Lastly, never be afraid to fall, especially in the beginning. The falls you have when you first start skating will(usually) be softer and not as hard on your body since your not doing much. With experience in falling you start to pick up on how to save yourself from falling or how to lessen the blow.

Im now thinking that other people think like that too. Youre never too old or too late to figure skate. When youre happy with what youre doing, just go for it.

    y’all, i have a friend who started skating at 17 years old. i was 12 when i met her on one of her first freestyle sessions. i was maybe freestyle 4 or 5 at the time idk. we got to know each other and we both kept skating. now it’s almost 4 years later, and she just passed juvenile moves in the field. i passed intermediate right after her, and we’re both on an open theatre on ice team together. if ur just starting skating, you will improve if you just keep at it. you may feel discouraged by little kids landing doubles and triples, but honestly they might get burned out, and you can keep going. it takes dedication and hard work, but if you love it then it is totally worth it.

      Well, I can't talk for her, but in my case, I always wanted doing figure skating and everyone said: you're too old. As I grew older (I'm now nearly seventeen) this wasn't something that could hold me back. Til then I was on the ice maybe once a year, but for that very fast. I've seen my boyfriend practicing the crossover and I also tried it. And that was the time I said: Okay, let's do it! And I just learned figure skating by myself. Not as good as she, but I will be better with a coach. ;) Just have fun and don't look on others. They maybe have over conditions, that help them :)

She always told me that i was made for swimming even tho I don’t like it. One year ago i moved to Spain with my parents. My city is a very hot place and theres absolutely no ice. I started giving up on my dream but after watching this video my dream came back. I really want to go to Russia where the rest of my family lives and start ice skating. My mother is overprotective and I don’t think she would let me go there, this video made me believe in myself tho. I am not going to give up on my dream until it becomes true.

Even the closest skatepark is 30 minutes. I’m 15, so I obviously can’t drive myself yet. The day will come though. Anyways, my plan is to save up money to buy rollar skates, so I can first Judy practice whenever we go to town 😸

I hope I will be better, but it's hard if everyone say that you can't do it, because you aren't flexibility.. But I fight for it! Don't hear to the voices of others! You can do it!

      When I started, many other adults were also beginners. The nice thing is most rinks have morning sessions for adult skaters. That was my favorite time to practice. No kids and the group size of skaters was small.

    Awesome! I watched every last bit of this! I started skating 7 months ago at the age of 41 and like you. I was proud of myself but I wanted to skate like everyone else! I do an hour of private coaching a week plus lots of extra ice time because I want to be beautiful on the ice too! Thank you for the inspiration!

      Lily Gold oh my goodness! thank you so much for being inspired by silly ol’ me!! Skating is so weird because once one starts they can’t get enough of it and can’t improve as fast as one wants to. But it’s a super rewarding sport and I’m glad you enjoy it as much as I do!! I also have 1 hour lesson a week :))
      can’t wait to see how far this sport gets you! keep us updated!!

      it can be really cheap and you don't have to be in shape! second hand skates are great and some beginer skates can be £20 ($25 ish) and where i am its £7.40 to skate on the rink as long as you want with skate hire and £5.40 with your own skates. you also don't have to get a coach to get good, youtube has tons of amazing skating tutorial videos

    It was amazing to watch your progress! I skated since I was nine and got up to the juvenile level but about three years ago I sprained my ankle. I wasn't able to skate for a while and then I just never went back. This honestly makes me miss it and I'm going to go back. Thank you

    Nice work! I just started skating again after 35 years and I’m at month 3. At my age I’m scared to break something but I keep persevering. I literally am at the same skill level you were at month 3. I’m hoping to skate just as well as you at one year. Thanks for being an inspiration!

      Natalia Shershakova There's literally hundreds of videos that address that, and most of them are irrelevant to people without the proper genetics. Find one that actually uses methods supported by real evidence and education. Stop asking random people on TH-cam.

Her advice is literally just...do it, like the hundreds of other videos being made by already flexible people. As though people are too stupid to know that already.
