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!
I don't skate because my town doesn't have an ice rink but I can't stop watching figure skating videos!! I hope one day I can move to a bigger city so that I can skate ^_^
I don't have ice ring too, but I do pic skating (on the rollers snowhite) , wich is quite similar exept that it's takes place on a concrete ring. Every month on winter I go to an ice ring to practice on ice, but I promise, its the same sport on concrete and on ice. It's not very popular but you can search if you can do it near your home. (sorry for my bad english I'm french)
Sorry that happened - hoping for a fast recovery. I do recommend shoes and mention that in the beginning. The only reason I am not is because I am taping in a yoga room and have no where else to film
Hi, I'm an off ice coach, I actually would not recommend off ice jumping to adult beginning skaters with no previous skating history. A great place to start is with basic ballet lessons for adults to strengthen feet and ankles, and then working on quarter, half and full air turns taking off from both feet and landing on both feet with shoes on. Also I highly recommend for kids and adults to have supervised off ice coaching lessons from qualified USFSA and PSA recommended instructors rather than doing the majority of it on your own. Hope this helps and glad to hear of your full recovery!
I wanna become a figure skater since when I was little, I’m turning 14 in a month and I’m already good with the basic. Since we are all quarantined, I’m going to do lots of off ice practices to help me to be a bit better. Once I can go back to the ice rink, I’m going to train harder on ice, for now I’m just going to practice the height and rotation in jumps and get flexible enough so I could manage doing spirals and other stuff. Wish me luck!
How to rotate faster. I'm still a beginner. Can you do a video on how to practice, rotste fatser and do doubles, triples and kind of train to do quad? My city doesn't have an ice rink, so I'm trying to at least do the axels and basics of figure skating off ice.
Yes, I did same. Can you show a choreography's actions on different elements, such as an edges with choreo, three-turn with choreo, mohawk with choreo, crossovers with choreo. It would be interesting
Thanks for the video!! I learned all the regular single jumps and now want to learn how to do an axel. I feel like I can do it but I can't get past a waltz jump, I feel like I'm stopping myself from turning as fast as I can. Same goes for the toe loop, I have so much airtime left to turn but instead I stop turning and just land a single one...
What are your tips for getting the “snap” to rotate the off-ice axel? I have a good kick through, but can’t seem to “snap” into the backspin position quick enough off-ice.
She does say she doesn’t recommend off ice jumping in bare feet, but I’d like to emphasize that. I just severely bruised my heel doing off ice jumps in bare feet. And it was a simple waltz jump that did it. It took 3 weeks for my heel to heal. I couldn’t even do jumps on ice with my skates on because it hurt so bad. I will never make that mistake again.
'We need to make sure we hit the toe pick every time' You don't need the toepick for edge jumps, right? Because I learned the Walz jump, Salchow and Loop on Hockey skates and I am trying to approach the axel.
I am fifteen and am set to start ice skating lessons in two weeks, It actually doesn’t feel real that I’m finally going to get that chance! I’m trying to do all I can to prepare my body before my lessons start. Would you recommend doing this even if you’ve never done it on the ice yet?
Thank you SO much for your videos I got more out of your 5 minute video than I have gotten out of months of lessons. you explain it well and are to the point.
I do a toe loop jump without doing a big prerotation leading to a toe axel. With shoes ofc. As for flip and Luzt edges are not as important as weight. For Flip you need to place your body weight on the left foot whereas for Lutz on the right one (the one you are standing on while taking off)
I really wanna start figure skating but there are no ice rinks in my city and i can’t start yet because of the pandemic, but i am trying to practice some jumps off ice and i can kinda do the waltz jump already! :) I’m still practicing the bell jump
Trying to do an axel on rollerskates but I don’t have a teacher so this is super helpful! Apparently figure skating on rollerskates is harder? Can’t find any local teachers though
I do competitive gymnastics and im really interested in figure skating since i love floor, and alot of the dance included in figure skating is similar to gymnastics, should i start doing it??

yes the videos are still fun to watch :)
Same! In my country there's only one ice skate rink only on winter! So sad, but next year I'll move to Scotland so can't wait to be always on ice 😍
thats what I did! now i am living in paris bc i wanna skate. U can if u want!

@@bettysc1225 me toooooo
ALWAYS wear shoes when doing this. I broke my foot doing this barefoot back in May! Snapped my 5th metatarsal into two pieces. 12 weeks in recovery.
Sorry that happened - hoping for a fast recovery. I do recommend shoes and mention that in the beginning. The only reason I am not is because I am taping in a yoga room and have no where else to film
Thanks! It wasn’t a criticism, just wanted to warn others from doing something silly like me! I’m back on the ice now 👍
@@rosiewinder7590 happy you are back!

I try! :)

All your hard work will pay off keep it up!
I believe in you!
i want to know how you're able to rotate so quickly through the air, I'm able to get enough height, i just can't rotate quick enough
Lots of practice! Took several years. You will get there just keep practicing! Off-ice to build up core and total boy strength too!
How to rotate faster. I'm still a beginner. Can you do a video on how to practice, rotste fatser and do doubles, triples and kind of train to do quad? My city doesn't have an ice rink, so I'm trying to at least do the axels and basics of figure skating off ice.
of course that is a great idea!
@@CoachMarySkating Thank you❤

sure great idea! thanks for sharing
I can do waltz jump, salchow, toe loop, loop, flip, lutz, and I'm learning axel on ice. it is very hard.

I can only do a few of these moves cause you know me I'm in freestyle 2 lol
This is super helpful! Unfortunately there’s no public ice rink in my city...D:
i hope they open a rink soon!

Kind regards from Mexico
You’re welcome. :)
i used to skate all the time but id forgotten how to since its been like 5 years. im trying to get back into doing all my jumps
you got this!

i think of leading the rotation with my hip! i feel a twist in my core too as i do this.

Can’t find any local teachers though
good luck! sorry i am not familiar with roller skating
Fantastic video! Great tutorial! :)
thanks for watching! :)
Is our right leg (free leg) supposed to touch the ice during a salchow? Btw LOVE ur videos!!
Which leg of mine should be more streched and on which leg I must be able to balance better? I'm a rightee. Thank you very much!
stretch and work on balance for both!
Yo quisiera aprender patinaje sobre hielo pero en mi país no hay y ni siquiera cae nieve :(
I do competitive gymnastics and im really interested in figure skating since i love floor, and alot of the dance included in figure skating is similar to gymnastics, should i start doing it??
Yes yes yes!
@@callieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i quit gymnastics a few months ago and im now doing roller blading :D it’s so fun!!
@@yyeonu That's great 🙂
Do you have to learn ballet to do ice skating? I want to learn ice skating, but dont know much at all
you do not! it does help with artistry though
@@CoachMarySkating thanks! Anymore tips?
currently watching this in quarantine 😓
stay safe! just uploaded another off-ice video and more coming soon to stay in shape during quarantine!
if I'm trying to do an off ice lutz, how do I do an on ice lutz?
This is the only routine I can practice because I dont have a pair of skates 🤣
glad you can practice :) i'm going to be posting some chore movement ideas soon!
Weebs after watching one episode of Yuri On Ice 👁👄👁
