Have a great day and be kind to everyone!!!!
YOU'RE ONLY 14???? I THOUGHT U WOULD BE LIKE 17
Shes 17 now
Yep, phones die at ice rinks, even in Amsterdam. All my friends have the same issue..
Steffie228G it's because of the cold
i know haha but only the iphones keep dying, all of the samsungs always survive the cold^^
and yes, i do live in amsterdam, the netherlands
Yep same here
I already thought that wad the problem 😂 my phone always started with 80% when I arrive at my rink, and when I'm done skating, not touching my phone, it's 50% 🙂 now I just keep it in the dressing room until I'm done training HAHAHA
(Btw also netherlands here)
I've been wanting to skate since I was 6 and I never got the chance to and I've always regretted it. But seeing all your vides is kinda made me want to try, even doe i know I won't be able to compete because its too late.
TheLockedShinobi No no no! You CAN compete! I've seen people begin at 25 and compete. Competing is for EVERYONE, as long as you keep it realistic.
i started skating at 25 i was a beginner , i completed level 1234 then i had a baby , i went back 3 years later and although they have now changed the grades to fars i have to do my basic levels again which i did in 2 sessions. its just a hobby for me id love to compete but dont have the time
TheLockedShinobi idk how old you are but that's the same sistuatuion I was in I started at 12 and been doing it 2 years now and about half a year ago-so after a year and a half I was able to compete and at a good leval and I love it!
TheLockedShinobi same
TheLockedShinobi I've been skating for 10 years but when I compete in 4 years I don't know what will happen
Hey I'm thirteen years old and not the thinnest person ever! I've been doing ballet my whole life and I really want to go into ice skating, do you think I could?
Noor Bashir YES! Ballet is amazing and will help you skate better!
I Have been doing ballet for 6 years, I Started Ice skating 2 years ago, My friend has been doing ice skating 2 years Longer then me but I am one level ahead of her so Ballet REALLY Helps Ice skating! My dad also agrees with me because it gives you balance and stage/ Ice presence!
Noor Bashir Yes!!
Noor Bashir YES! Especially because you're a ballerina! You already after the grace and elegance.
*YES!* As other people have said, ballet REALLY helps with skating! I’m a skater and I take ballet classes every week to help improve my posture and balance! Figure skating really is a great sport! It’s so much fun and offers so many other great opportunities!
When I do competitions I close my eyes listen to my routine music and imagine what my spins and jumps look like
SHE'S 14 WHAT XD. YOU LEGIT LOOK 18 OR 21 xD (not trying to offend). Omg you are 14 xDD
she looks t most 16 to me
"I am 18, am I too old"
UGH I'm starting and I'm almost 30.... The problem when you get older is that you fear more to fall (gods, I feel so petrified when I lose balanceeee). Also your body is fully formed so you can't easily get more flexible.
Maybe next year I'll try and take lessons but for now it's a bit expensive and ... too late xD
I'm not even sure I'll be able to land any jump someday...
Should I exercise off-ice like, stretching and all?
Who else has been watching her videos back to back? 😂😩
Yesss
You should post a video of your stretching routine.
Omg my phone dies at the rink all the time!!! Most times it will just loose a ton of battery, I'll step on the ice w/ my phone at 80% and when I get off the ice 2 hours later it's at 14%
Maeve Glackin-Coley omg saame
When I am nervous at a competition, I just dance with my friends. I know it sounds weird, when we are in the dressing room, we play music and dance the nerves away
my mindset for competing is that I don't have any jumps in my program that I can't do. my coach wouldn't have put anything in my program that I wasn't capable of. I do my program a million times before I compete, and I land these jumps any day. there is no reason for me to fall or pop any of these jumps. I am capable of everything in this program.
anyways that is the little pep talk that I give myself before I compete, hope that helps!
My answer
1. Yes because I love it because I get to do my hair and makeup and I never get stressed witch I love
2. I also do a trampoline class for fun and going to hang out with friends
3. I started wen I was 4
4. My pre juvenile or my star 6
5. Adea is good, Jackson and Ridels but, Ridels also make your feet hurt
One thing that help me before I compete is right before I get on the ice I walk through my program in my head like 3 times and try to visualize doing my jumps ,spins and foot work it helps me a lot and clams me down a little to
I'm trying to get my double axel and double lutz. They're both kinda rubbish just now haha. I also skate in Jacksons, I feel like the only person who doesn't skate in Edea!
I just got Competitors!
Stephanie I love Jacksons!! But my blades are the eclipse infinity
I'm wearing Jackson Elites ATM and I'm starting to hate them because of how heavy they are.
Stephanie I also skate in Jacksons!
I have Jackson freestyle! People think Edeas are good because they're more expensive but they really arent. They hurt your feet more and you have a higher chance of breaking your ankle. Jacksons are so much better and cheaper! :D
ok guys so is it possible to start ice skating at 16/17 and want to compete in the nationals or maybe the grand Prix?
It's possible to start at any age, but I'm not sure you will be able to make it to big events. But it is possible for you to make it to regionals and there are tons of adult competitions around. Don't let your age stop you and as long as you love skating, you can do anything!
natalia carrillo Yes, but it will take years
natalia carrillo yes! I see a lot of people in TH-cam doubtful about skating because of their age but as long as there's passion and determination, I think you can make it!
This is coming from a 13 year old who started skating months ago and who also wants to compete in big competitions :)
Typical you can start at at any age, but sadly you won’t make it to nationals or big events
Normally people compete when they are going adults / teenagers, the Russian Olympic sister was so young
for anyone who says it's too late to start....im 20 and just started. I did gymnastics, diving, dance and pretty much all other sports but this is the sport in my heart I knew I always wanted to do and when you stop living your life for others and do what you want to do it is the best feeling! never to late to pick up skating :)
Waoo, and how is it going? :)
You answered my question and said my first and last name right! No one ever does! Thank you sooooo much
One tip for not getting to nervous before you compeat: every time you say "oh jeez I'm super nervous", catch yourself and say "no, I'm not nervous, I'm excited!!" Say it even if you're totally terrified. It tricks your mind into thinking your excited. (It helps, promise 😉)Another thing is that I always just talk to my coach about literally anything after the warm up.(Movies, Starbucks, TV shows, etc). Not to stray my mind from compeating, it's just to let me literally forget about my nerves. Hope this helps!! Lysm!!❤️❤️⛸️⛸️
OH MY GOSH MY PHONE KEEPS DYING AT THE RINK TOO!!!!
I'm not an athlete LOL but I am a theater actor and both of us perform in front of audiences/coaches/directors so my best advice is when you're nervous, it means you're ready. I keep telling myself that and reminding myself I put the work in and listening to music and sort of connecting to the song to feel that emotional drive while performing (in your case skating!) I love doing hype exercises so doing shakedowns help and playing games too and in general warming up and getting you focused helps me not be scared as well! I'm jelly of you, I wish I did ice skating!
So, I am kind of new to figure skating, but I've been a singer and performer for a good number of years, and I think some of those pre-performing abilities can transfer well into preparing for a skating competition.
First of, arrive, early and always be prepared for the tiny emergencies... have a repair kit for your dress, extra hairspray and those kinds of things. Many of which I'm sure you do already.
I try to meditate for a little bit, it always helps a ton. Get your head clear, stay away from your cell phone, get a little alone space. Close your eyes and really try to make your mind calm. In complete silence. For 5 minutes or so.
After that, concentrate on your program: what does the music say or mean to me? What would I like to communicate? Is this a program that requires me to be a certain character? If so, get into the character's skin: what is the motivation, the story and details of this character?
(This one's kind of prior to competition)
If your program has lyrics, or is related to a show or movie, have you watched it? Or do you know the story? Do you know what the words in the song mean? Have you thought about what they mean to you?
Some dancers have another technique, they imagine themselves in kind of a huge bubble or imagine they have a huge wall between them and the audience, but I find this a lot more difficult to do. So, I focus on the music/interpretation part as much as I can.
Hope this helps a bit!
So I'm 15 and I really want to start skating, I'm quite flexible because I did cheer and gymnastics for over 6 years but I really want to start skating, the only problem is the nearest rink is a bit over 2 hours away like all year round because I live in ireland☹️️ I'm fully willing to get the bus up at the weekends but my question is am I too old? I really want to do it and do you've any tips?? Thanks 😊
No no no! You are NOT too old! Nobody is EVER too old for figure skating. Work hard and be dedicated you can and will be successful in anything, not just figure skating. You can even work your way up to triples if you practice enough and truly love the sport! Sure you might not get to a Yulia Lipnitskaya level but there's so much more to skating! I strongly encourage you to start. May the best of luck be with you!
~Another figure skater who started at 12, and is 15 now, and working on double salchows!
Anna Go for it!
Anna I'm 15 and I've just started skating a month ago😌
Anna You're never too old!! You can start whenever and if you really love it, go the 2 hours!!
HeyItsLuce x how IS it going? im 15 2 and i wanted to start taking lessons soon
I live out in the country and the nearest indoor skating rink is 30 minutes away and the outdoor one we have is only available late winter
I've never skate before and i'm 19, i'm not flexible at all.. is it too late for me to be a figure skater? :(
Kimi Dayo Nope!! It's never too late!! Do whatever you want!! You may not be able to go to the olympics, but you can still skate!
Omg I still have the iPhone 4 (it is also a handy down)
ur rlly cute and inspiring Ive been skating for about 8 years but I didnt really practice the last two years. Now I realized that I still want to continue and learn all those jumps... I was really concerned because I thought I couldnt compete but now that I watch your videos, Im really inspired and I wanna say that ur really talented stay the way you are❤️❤️❤️
Try to relax during competitions. If you are relaxed you will do better. If you fall it's not a big deal some top level champions have fallen during competitions. They still finished their program and some got very good marks overall in spite of the fall. Just focus and go for it. You are very talented and you know you have worked hard too.
The phones die because of the cold. lol it's so annoying 😂😂💕💕
I've been gymnastics since I was 7 years old but stopped at 10 years old. But now I'm starting to regain my flexibility again in my current age which is 12 years old. Is it possible for me to start figure skating? I also know the basic ice skating already so yeah. But if I start figure skating, do you think I can still do it even though I'm not gymnastics anymore?
I'm planning to go with Riedelle as figure skates, what do you think?
NekoRinNya I'm also a figure skater, so I hope it's okay for me to answer your question. You can defiantly still start at 12. I started at age 10 and I'm now doing competitions every week. You just have to work a little harder than the people who have been skating since they were were little. ;-)
go to a proshop and get stakes there first
Being in gymnastics/dance isn't a necessity of skating even though it does help. So yes you can start figure skating and if you work really hard you can even start competing.
Right before my cheer competitions I try to get myself super distracted or else I will psych myself out
You can also get your skates heat fitted by warming them and then wearing them after to shape them or something.. I’ve heard of it but never done it
I just watched all pll seasons again on Netflix and I love watching them again !!!! I love that show ! I really like Spencer and Toby and Hanna and Caleb !!! I love your videos so much !!!
Pretty Little Lairs is all i watch its the best!! you inspire me to do ice skating but my mum won't let me. always wanted to do it.
no dislikes!yaaaaaasssssssssssss katie
I have a good tip for jumps: imagine yourself doing the jump and landing it before you do it and it will help you to land it in real life! Hope this helps! You're amazing!
I’m so excited to start competing! I am almost in grade 8 skate Uk and I’m so excited ever since starting to watch your videos. You have motivated me so much and I want to be like you 💖
Ugh, yes!!! My phone does that at the rink too
Oh my gosh my phone dies ALL the time!! Usually it'll die and I just sit on it to warm it up and it turns back on. I thought I was the only one 😂
My phone dies all the time and our rink is 52° average, also I have a tip for competing if you are ever last in you your flight or 2 nd do not watch the people that go before you cause if they do really well your gonna get all worked up and start to think that your not gonna do well!!!! My coach is soooo big on this tip❤️
I do I love that show!!
Also Aria and Ezra yess!!
Your phone uses a lithium polymer battery. If battery temperature escapes the nominal range, which is usually 0C to 50C. Below or above this range cab cause charge leakage and long term damage to the cell.
Hey Katie. I used to figure skate when I was 5 until I was 13. I was really competitive and really good but I had an accident and didn't skate again for years. I'm now 17 and want to start again. Do you think I'm too old now?
Yay! Thank you for answering my question!
I thought I was the only one!! Every time I get out there and come back to my phone it's always on the verge of dying 😩
i started skating from going to a birthday party as well
Actually, the cold strains the mental in the middle of the phone. So the battery drains exceptionally quicker.
my phone battery goes so quickly if i just leave it in my bag, it's only ever in my pocket if i'm having fun. the other day before my lesson i had over 60% battery and half an hour later it was on 30%, that even in england!!
Yesss that happens to me all the time!!!!! That or my battery goes down more ugh!😂🙄
My phone dies to
Yasssss my phone dies ALLLLLL the time at the rink
I started skating at a b-day party when I was 5 too!
And please do videos on double axels and triple sals!!!! That would be so helpful
You are amazing at figure skating i hope one day i can be as good as you
PS i love figure skating as well i could not live with out it .
My phone definitely dies at the rink. I shoved my phone in my skate bag, and then wrapped a blanket around it, so it wouldn't die. xD. I love skating. Unfortunately, I'm still a bit of a newbie. I've been skating for three years. Level 4. Not very good. xD.
I was 3 when I started skating lessons 😂 i feel like people take ice skating way more serious everywhere else than in the uk. Know half Swedish so we literally moved to Sweden so I could go further
The phone thing happens to me too! Sometimes I put it inside a glove :)
I WAS IN THIS!!!
please do an other video on double axels please.I just started working on it now!!!
I've been wanting to skate for years, and still want to more than anything else in the world. But my family is having money troubles, problems, and really expensive medical bills ( my brother has cancer), and i really want to skate but my mom thinks that it's just a waste of time and money. I'm flexible and really want to do it, I just need to convince her. Help!! (Also how do I earn money to pay for skates?)
Space Strawberries omg this touched me. You seem so strong! I hope your brother gets better and your mother to let you! Never give up you inspired me! You'll find a way to get money I'm sure! 🔝
On the money bit, try to find a job with flexible hours and good pay and on your mom, help pay for lessons as well. If you can drive yourself or have public transport where you live that helps too!
Hi Katie!
I was wondering if you could do a video on scratch spins and one foot spins, because they are my worst
My phone dies ALL the time at the rink. Especially if I take it onto the ice to film! I think it's just the cold but it can be pretty annoying :/
It's because the cold screws with the battery so it makes the battery drain
YES MY PHONE DIES AT THE RINK TOO
I love pretty little liars!
2A video please. Btw love your videos💗
Okay, so I am a 14 year old hockey player (I'm a girl btw) and I have always wanted to figure skate but I think it is too late and I don't think that I would be graceful enough. Also, I think that my parents wouldn't take me seriously if I asked, people think I'm really rough because i play hockey and I'm kind of aggressive on the ice but I just love skating and think figure skating is beautiful
Jackson is also really great for begginers.
what's the best way to bring your own skates to the ice arena?
you give me so much motivation to start skating!! I'm kinda confused about coaches and programs. can you explain please? thank you ilysm!!!
keep it up with thise tutorials because it helps me alot ❤️❤️
I'm very flexible. And I love to skate. But I am 13 years old and don't have lessons. I'm planning on getting lessons in September and going skating a LOT this summer. Is it too late for me to start skating and to start doing competitions?
Not at all! I'm 12 and I just started, and I have been giving it my all. Practice makes perfect really applies here. Do as much as possible, and you'll eventually be much better.
end my life Alright, thanks!!!
I love Pretty Little Liars 😍😍 And where did you get the desk behind you from?
My phone dies too, so I always have to turn it off all the way and when I need it for corrections or whatever it is it's so annoying
I also started skating when I was at a birthday party lol!
Could you do another calling your subscribers video? I missed the first two because I hadn't been subscribed to your channel, but now that I'm subscribed, but I really want to ask you some questions personally. Thanks!
My phone dies at the rink all the time. I also have a question. So, I’m having trouble with my waltz jump because my left leg is not quite strong enough to get a good take off almost constantly. I don’t think that I could switch my take off to my right leg now. What should I do?
I am 13 and I am a figure skater starting at 11, only thing is I am not very flexible I can do spirals but I just need to be more and it's soo annotinf
My phone is not dying while im in the ice rink
Can u please do a day in the life for a competition day

my rink is not that cold cuz I live in Brazil and the ranks here are kinda hot, so my phone doesn't die because of the cold, it just dies because of my low battery
I'm 14, and I really want to figure skate... but I don't know if it is too late to start.
I'm not the most flexible person, but I stretch out every day to become more flexible...
Do I have a chance to become a figure skater?

Yep my phone always dies at the rink
I can't believe you're 14! I'm 21, and you honestly probably look older than me.
