Wow! So different from how I lace mine. The tightest part of the lace-up, for me, is at the ankle line to give extra support. The top two are fairly loose so the leg above the ankle can move. After lacing, my skates have enough room for 2 fingers inside at the top. Once I'm warmed up, the laces don't ever loosen. But I've been skating since the 70s so maybe this is a new school of thought. And I always skate in Reidell.
this whole video was such a journey lmao, thanks for bringing humor into this! i'm getting my first pair of edeas this week (wooo) so this is actually helpful, but also? i'd watch it anyway you're hilarious haha
I’ve been wanting to figure skate for a while now and your videos inspired me so much! So for my birthday I went ice skating and my parents saw how happy I was and now I get to take my first lesson this weekend! Thank you so much for being an inspiration!
minasmiles Haha thank u! Btw u can call me Poppiny! (Jenna the Pig is just my username lol) Once again thank u so much! I wouldn’t be skating without you! I used to think I was too old to skate but you shook my beliefs and I am so excited to start 💜💜💜
minasmiles I had my first lesson and I already went up a level! I can’t wait for my next lesson. Do you have any tips for one foot gliding and stoping? When I glide I always fall over and I can’t come to a sudden stop...
Wow those Riedell skates seem sooo soft :O my first figure skates are Edea Overture and they are quite sturdy, I couldn't imagine skating on skates that are less sturdy when starting figure skating, my ankles are still so weak xD
I loved to skate when I was 5 years old m every Monday after school I jumped out of bed and screamed “Omg after school we are going to the ice skating rink!” I made progress untill 2 months of going to ice skating my first performance! After my performance I was angry cause I felt that I wasn’t good enough so I quit at the age of 6. Now now 6 years later I’ve been inspired of you to continue skating and I miss the feeling of being flawless on the ice. Thank you so much for inspiring me , I’m starting again next week and I can’t wait!! Ilysm!! Thank you.
Sometimes I tie my skates and it hurts my fingers so much they start to bleed and I get blood on my skates but that’s only happened 3 times so, so far so good
Wow, thank you for this video! It seems so basic but I've been skating about a year now and have been really struggling with my backwards glides and landing my waltz jump correctly...only to have a coach tell me my skates are way too loose and I might be tying them wrong. Guess what...I am! I haven't even been using the top hook...well I put my bows around the top hook and tighten it but I bet its not nearly as tight as just using the hook normally. Thanks again!
Oh my Da Vinci!!! You recited the harry Potter parody!!!! 😍 I love you already! I've always wanted to learn figure skating. Soo I guess watching you is beautiful! Haha.. Well all the best with everything ☺
Great video! Such an underrated channel, you deserve millions of subs girl, amazing content! Can't wait to go on the ice for the first time today! I wanted a bunch of videos on how to fall today so I think I'm ready ❤
I really enjoyed this video! Thanks for putting it up! Your hard work shows. Can you do a comparison video of Rockerz blade guard and gurardog blade guard? Is one lighter than the other or better? I feel like most advanced or competitive skaters use Rockerz, is there a reason for that? I'm just always curious about that. I use guardogs.
I'm gonna tell you my storytime about figure skates. Apparently yesterday i was going with my family to skate. Skates there were so uncomfortable. Then we got home and my mom gave me figure skates. Those were her skates. They were not new. It were dirty and scribbled. I just cleaned them with alcohol and washed the laces . So now they are like new.
Omg! I recently tried to tie regular skates with the edea method and it works great!!! Also another tip if you dont have skating leggings (i dont lol) is to use leg warmers!
I usually tie a half knot right at the first loop for extra ankle lockdown and support, then I do the same looping technique as you do, you should try it out! ^^
@minasees can you send a Link for your socks and your ancle protection things pls? The ones in your description box are just for the guards. Would be awesome!
Hi! I have a question. So i have been skating for about 2 years but only once a week. I am 13 years old. I really want Edea. I know I’m not ready for them, how long do you think I have to wait to get edeas???
I'm trying to avoid the cost of buying 2 pairs of ice skates in the long run, do you reccomend I buy the edea skates or the riedell skates first. I have skated before but I'm starting lessons soon so not as intensely. I'm looking for ones that have high ankle support and enable me to do jumps.
Hiiii excuse moi but the links for bunga pads, socks and rockerz in the description box are the same! I really need bunga pads and skating socks :( THANKSSSSSSS💛
hi im a beginner in skating and i was wonering is it okay to but a thick sock inside the skate because i find that it hurts but I don't know any better.
I don’t know if my skates are maybe too large but if I skate in just tights I get really bad feet pains and they just feel overly loose? Any advice ??? :(
I've wanted to figure skate for so long now and my mom finally agreed to let me try but I cannot buy my own considering I'm just starting but how would I know if rentals are good enough for me to use? If that's how you even word it sorry
Am I the only one who never had problems in tiding skates? XD I just tide them really really thight and I'm done XD But many of my friends from the rink find it so difficoult to do XD I love these videos about skating! and the part about Harry Potter made my day ^_^
hey so i was thinking about purchasing a pair of jackson ultimas and i wanted to know if those were a good pair and if not what is a good pair that’s affordable.. thanks
I have been skating for 7 years and I'm watching this. For 3 years I had skated with waaay to big skates wich have lead to many injuries. I have learned from my mistakes but right now I don't even know if I will be able to jump again :C
Help idk what kind of skates I have! Just got my first pair of figure skates for christmas, literally do not know a thing about breaking them in or melting them or anything, so any tips are greatly appreciated! 💜 Also if it's needed to know I'm 17, my college friends are teaching me how to skate atm (like I can go forwards without holding the wall butthat's pretty much it, always wanted to figure skate but wasn't a rink near me and couldn't afford it either) and I wear a UK size 6 if that's any help i doubt it 😂
I'm always sad whenever I get holes in my dance tights since they're so damn expensive, now I'm just going to cut the feet off and use them for ice skating hahaha
when I first tried tying a pair of figure skates [I was always using rental skates without laces], the part around my fingernail bleed☠☠ because I knew the importance of tight skates, but I guess my nails are weak too lol, but I still love ice skating
I'm pretty sure Riedell and Jackson have some pretty good beginner skates that arent too expensive! You could also check ebay because I found some brand new riedells for a much cheaper price!
If any of you guys are new, the Riedell emeralds are probably the best skates to start with until you start singles. Then buy something else that your coach wants just don’t buy Edea skates unless if you are willing to spend a lot of money often.
I keep having problems with the tight pull at the ankle when I’m skating and squatting down it folds and causes my foot to go crazy when I’m just gliding across the ice I need help
I wore my skates for the first time on Sunday and I literally spent like 5 minutes trying to untie the double knot after class, felt so embarassing but now I know I'm not the only one hahaha
may personal but can i ask how many cm is ur feet and which size u pick up? im 27cm and getting size 40, they should wear perfectly but im always scared and thinking get a one bigger measure..
i never thought my video would be worth pausing harry potter! i am flattered 😹😊 well i just spoiled half of it for you so i hope you’ve watched it before 😹😭
americangirlemzies13 I just got my Jackson’s today!! I’m sooo in love bro 🥺! I have a question tho! When you first got them did you have to get your blades sharpened? Or were they fine for a while?
Does anyone have any advice because every time I do this and do them tight I just fall backward because I can’t really move but if I do them looser my feet fall in 😂
![Figure Skater tries ROLLERBLADING ~pain~ ♡ :]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Zh4uEttLU0U/mqdefault.jpg)
instructions unclear, skates melted in microwave.
Poor skates :c
minasmiles 😂
That’s a mood coz I don’t understand I’m going on ice for the 5th time and my mum used to tie hem
Did you put your skates in the microwave?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
*Once I pulled so hard the laces that one acrylic nail literally fell off but I guess at least I tied my skates properly*
Man i feel that
There’s Special lacing equipment for that
My fingers r full of bruises and my nails r horrific hahahahahhahaaha but my skates laces r tight and elegent
I have skated bare foot and for anyone wondering it wasn’t that bad.
i have too! it’s a whole new feeling isn’t it!
minasmiles yep , agreed :)
yeah when i first started out and didnt buy all the euipment i just skated bare foot
ft. myself same
Yeah i skated bare footed once. I felt much more support but my feet can get very sweaty soooo😂 i keep to wearing skating tights or socks
I just watched this video while putting on my skates to break them in at home.
Also I just love the style of your editing!
ahh yay! thank you so much!!
same hahahha

oh my gosh!! that makes me so incredibly happy, Jenna! i wish you the very best for your skating!!

minasmiles I had my first lesson and I already went up a level! I can’t wait for my next lesson. Do you have any tips for one foot gliding and stoping? When I glide I always fall over and I can’t come to a sudden stop...
Also where should I get skating socks? (The link isn’t working)
Jenna The Pig What country do you live in? That might help
I watch this over and over again because that intro is so aesthetically pleasing 😂😂
Wow those Riedell skates seem sooo soft :O my first figure skates are Edea Overture and they are quite sturdy, I couldn't imagine skating on skates that are less sturdy when starting figure skating, my ankles are still so weak xD
well they are also extremely broken down 😹😹
but yeah that’s mainly why i suggest the riedell diamond more than the emerald...
minasees do you recommend the riedell pearl ice skates?
Kudos for that spongebob reference
haha i sing that song too often 😹
Forgot to add: I always skate barefoot. If I wear sheers, I cut the foot off, sew the hem and make sure they're tied into the boot.
I loved to skate when I was 5 years old m every Monday after school I jumped out of bed and screamed “Omg after school we are going to the ice skating rink!” I made progress untill 2 months of going to ice skating my first performance!

Your singing and poetry are so awesome when the video is sped up to 1.75, lol! 😂
Finally going to watch this because I'm getting my first pair of skates!!!! yayy!!
Sometimes I tie my skates and it hurts my fingers so much they start to bleed and I get blood on my skates but that’s only happened 3 times so, so far so good

you should raise your standards 😹
I’m just watching a bunch of videos about ice skating even though I don’t do it. I really want to though!
Me too! But we dont have any rinks in the country so I'm doomed
I always love the feel of your videos! The editing was awesome on this one!
thank you so so much!!
thank you, this is going to help me so much!! i love your videos btw

Could you be any cuter? Definitely the most adorable video of tying laces I’ve ever seen.
This video is so super helpful! Thanks so much!

Hi! I have a question. So i have been skating for about 2 years but only once a week. I am 13 years old. I really want Edea. I know I’m not ready for them, how long do you think I have to wait to get edeas???
I'm trying to avoid the cost of buying 2 pairs of ice skates in the long run, do you reccomend I buy the edea skates or the riedell skates first. I have skated before but I'm starting lessons soon so not as intensely. I'm looking for ones that have high ankle support and enable me to do jumps.
Hiiii excuse moi but the links for bunga pads, socks and rockerz in the description box are the same! I really need bunga pads and skating socks :(
THANKSSSSSSS💛
hi im a beginner in skating and i was wonering is it okay to but a thick sock inside the skate because i find that it hurts but I don't know any better.
When you get to the top hook go back down. That way you don’t have as much lace left hanging☺️
I don’t know if my skates are maybe too large but if I skate in just tights I get really bad feet pains and they just feel overly loose? Any advice ??? :(
I've wanted to figure skate for so long now and my mom finally agreed to let me try but I cannot buy my own considering I'm just starting but how would I know if rentals are good enough for me to use? If that's how you even word it sorry
I use the old skates from my mom and they are for figure skating and very old xD but I love them
Am I the only one who never had problems in tiding skates? XD I just tide them really really thight and I'm done XD But many of my friends from the rink find it so difficoult to do XD
I love these videos about skating! and the part about Harry Potter made my day ^_^
hehehe thank you!!
i always have to retie them before i start jumping :/
minasmiles
Well then I guess that's my "easy life" with skates will end when I'll start jumps XD for now only waltz, but they are cute XD XD
Just watching this makes my feet feel like im wearing my skates 😂
do you recommend to start with the edea ice fly's?
Thank you this was so helpful because I just got new skates thanks so much. BTW you are not a loser 1:41
OMGMGMGMMG! You have edea piano skates! Please please please link we’re you got them and how much you payed!!
Your watch is so preety! Where is it from?
Do figure skaters have waxed laces? I wanna know because waxed hockey laces really hurt your hands when you tie them tight
Sniper_G 12 no, we don’t :)
Omg I have the same beginner skates and guards. OMG 🤯
hey so i was thinking about purchasing a pair of jackson ultimas and i wanted to know if those were a good pair and if not what is a good pair that’s affordable.. thanks
Yes they are. Its very durable and affordable so i recommend it ❤
I have been skating for 7 years and I'm watching this. For 3 years I had skated with waaay to big skates wich have lead to many injuries. I have learned from my mistakes but right now I don't even know if I will be able to jump again :C
HARRY POTTER and the skating bare foot part is true haha I've done it I remember when I couldn't find my skating pants me laces got tangled
I use Jacksons mystique figure skates and yes I red the description your funny I like that ;)
Help idk what kind of skates I have!
Just got my first pair of figure skates for christmas, literally do not know a thing about breaking them in or melting them or anything, so any tips are greatly appreciated! 💜
Also if it's needed to know I'm 17, my college friends are teaching me how to skate atm (like I can go forwards without holding the wall butthat's pretty much it, always wanted to figure skate but wasn't a rink near me and couldn't afford it either) and I wear a UK size 6 if that's any help i doubt it 😂
My skate laces are very very long so i tie them around my leg but is there any other way to do it?
I'm always sad whenever I get holes in my dance tights since they're so damn expensive, now I'm just going to cut the feet off and use them for ice skating hahaha
when I first tried tying a pair of figure skates [I was always using rental skates without laces], the part around my fingernail bleed☠☠ because I knew the importance of tight skates, but I guess my nails are weak too lol, but I still love ice skating
I lost it when you started reciting Harry Potter in 99 seconds
quick question, what are the cheapest brand of skates that still work good 😃 because i know for a fact my mom wouldn’t spend almost $800 on skates 😭✋🏼
I'm pretty sure Riedell and Jackson have some pretty good beginner skates that arent too expensive! You could also check ebay because I found some brand new riedells for a much cheaper price!
@@tuffasnailss8111 tysm!!
That's confusing how do I keep my angles straight with my skates my boots they do fit me. I skate on the inside edge xx
If any of you guys are new, the Riedell emeralds are probably the best skates to start with until you start singles. Then buy something else that your coach wants just don’t buy Edea skates unless if you are willing to spend a lot of money often.
you need to find boots that fit your foot, riedells, or any other brands, are not suited for everyone!
I keep having problems with the tight pull at the ankle when I’m skating and squatting down it folds and causes my foot to go crazy when I’m just gliding across the ice I need help
I only plan on having Jacksons and I watched the whole video
Can this tying method also be used for skates that are not Edea? I use Stride Riedell skates which is why i’m wondering
yes it can definitely be used on both!! the upper part at least!!
minasees thank you!
minasees great video by the way!! i love the humor you put into your videos!!
I want the Riedell skates but they are so expensive and I’m trying to save up
My lil power is baaack
nope :/ i’m going to the apple store as soon as i can tho!
glad you’re back too! :)
@@minasees I beeen always there😂❤
I wore my skates for the first time on Sunday and I literally spent like 5 minutes trying to untie the double knot after class, felt so embarassing but now I know I'm not the only one hahaha
may personal but can i ask how many cm is ur feet and which size u pick up? im 27cm and getting size 40, they should wear perfectly but im always scared and thinking get a one bigger measure..
I generally like tight skates so I literally have to bring a hook with me to pull the strings as tight as I can.
I love you minasses
Great vid!
I don’t get it lol how are you tying it like a kriss cross mine go in a straight line
Me: following along practicing, knowing my hands are going to hurt and I will end up failing and give up in the end
"Some even skate barefoot. You're foot needs to have the most supportance"
...me wearing to pairs of socks...
Upsi
Thank you!
weirdest thing is i was watching harry potter and the philosophers stone and had paused it to watch this😂
i never thought my video would be worth pausing harry potter! i am flattered 😹😊
well i just spoiled half of it for you so i hope you’ve watched it before 😹😭
minasmiles yes , many times! haha
Omg it’s the famous Natalya 12!!
Natalya 12 omg it’s u the famous Natalya 12!!

I use Jackson Ultimas; the only brand that seemingly fits my gigantic feet 😂😂😂
americangirlemzies13 I just got my Jackson’s today!! I’m sooo in love bro 🥺! I have a question tho! When you first got them did you have to get your blades sharpened? Or were they fine for a while?
I have Jackson ultima finenesse
Does anyone have any advice because every time I do this and do them tight I just fall backward because I can’t really move but if I do them looser my feet fall in 😂
You don’t use tape? Why is it for?

I didn't tie my skates properly and i broke my ankle
No ninja knot? I don't even think I remember any other way.
WHY IS THIS 11 MINS LONGGGG i'm going to fail on tying skates ughh
Umm you know you have different skates but still thanks❤
My shoes are really big.....oops
BRUH THOSE EDEA SKATES ARE OVER $500
