lemon boy AHAHAHHA that’s gold

Yeeeee

Lol

😆

Has happened to me... the zamboni guy knows me so he just left and i kept on going, look up at the clock 12.30am with school next day!

I love your guys videos and I’m a figure skater too lol I love this video😄

ANISSA - W dame thoo

Same tho*

also, this... is...glorious. true art (I can't edit on here so I'm going old school lmao)

Oh yeah they looooove our videos 😗😤

Life On Thin Ice 😂😂 I wish I could go to your rink so I could see history in the making lol. But your videos are epic so I'm glad you keep doing them!

Bend the knees! Try to do everything off ice first and then try it on ice, it will be different but it will help with remembering the movements

Don’t be nervous! The great thing about being older is that you will fly through the levels and understand the coaches better! Don’t feel intimidated by the little kids. Everyone has their own goals in this sport and most little kids aren’t motivated enough because their parents signed them up. Having your own motivation to go far in skating will make you a better skater in the end! If you are using rental skates, try to find a pair that have the most hooks on the side. We have brown ones that usually help skaters have more stability compared to our grey ones that have the support of a hockey skate(which is NOTHING) very scary so make sure your ankles feel supported before you step on! Hope classes go great Monday!

chicken nugget just relax I started skating when I was 12 and at the age of 14 with only a year of lessons and I'm amazed at how far I've come with jumps , spirals and spins But remember to be patient because is comes with time ❤️ P.s. You'll get used to falling to the point it no longer hurts

@@laurenspencer185Same :)

me, i started ice dancing last year (i was 12) and the most important thing is that you must stay positive and never give up, good luck :) (sorry for my english im french😓)

i think you mean UNDER ROTATED HEYOOOO. jk.

How long did it take you guys?

Sandy Jones I had a crossover in 3 weeks but it was not pretty.... I got my good crossovers in like a month

Charlotte Williams You don’t say???? Did watch 5 seconds later to see she did?

@@akward__alexis3206 I'm talking about the wikihow image itself... it looked like she was going into a salchow.

Megan Thibault I’m actually so impressed! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Really wow!! ☺🥀⚘

I LOVE YOU😂😂😂 I was honestly waiting for this comment!

Life On Thin Ice we love an iMovie queen!!!! 🤠🤠😩😩💞💞🅱️😎😂😂😂💫💫💫

Thank you!! Also, that really shows the beauty of skating and how it offers so much for you to enjoy 😊

Wow great info! About to go take Vitamin D now so that doesn’t happen to me!!

@@LifeOnThinIce I would go get tested at a doctor's office first (it's a simple blood test). You doctor would be able to tell you what dose you should take if you are low. Ideally, one's Vitamin D level should be 40, although 30 is considered to be the minimum level of "normal." Thankfully, Vitamin D is easy to get, as it's available at any vitamin section of any store, and it's not super expensive (generally under $10) if you do need it. Plus, consuming foods with Vitamin D in it (like milk) may also help.

I’ve been testing by a doctor before and I’m supposed to take vitamin D. Especially since I drink a lot of almond milk and not regular milk. The best thing to do is just take a multivitamin everyday if you know that you aren’t severely deficient in a certain vitamin.

Oh yeah I’m definitely deficient in vitamin D

Figure Skating Stan hahahaha we hate you too Stan😂😂😉

Life On Thin Ice thanks! 😂

Thank you!!

and Im seriously rewatching again. so funny. "look". "look". "look". "look". "lift". "lift". "loop". "loop". hahahha

This is the greatest compliment we’ve ever received😂

Yep!!

Private lessons are the best way to learn faster!

Really any time is not too late! As long as you like skating and really feel you’re getting something out of it, it’s worth it. So try it out!

Life On Thin Ice thanksss I’m going skating tomorrow!!❤️

It’s totally okay to fall during competition! Don’t stress about it. Actually it will be helpful because now you can set a goal for your next competition. To get through the program clean! Again don’t worry I’m pretty sure we have all fallen numerous times in competition!

Falling is a part of this sport so at some point you need to learn to accept and be comfortable with that. Which by the way is incredibly difficult even for me because it’s essentially a skill that takes lots of time and confidence. In the meantime, however, it’s always helpful to wear padding. There are butt pads as well as knee and elbow pads! I think the thought of falling is scarier than actually falling. So once you fall, it’s important that you remember that it wasn’t so bad and falling again isn’t gonna kill you.

The first time I uploaded it, it only posted 4 minutes of it.

It's a lot about having a tight core, it helps to be stable and also helps you stay in one place when spinning.

@@bored_af5218 Thank you so much! So also increasing/decreasing the speed during spins is a matter of tightening or relaxing core muscles?

We love Sarah our wonderful editor 😊

If you are going often enough it would be cheaper and better in the long run. Also it depends on the rink but the majority of time rentals are not good quality and are not smooth

Yes, absolutely! The rental skates are actually so bad. Skating will be much more enjoyable with proper skates. Just find a good quality pair, but don’t spend a crazy amount of money on them :) hope this helps!

If you're skating often then definitely, otherwise it would be a waste of money if you're only going once a month or so.

oh and if i do end up skating, when is the appropriate time for me to buy my own skates? thats all

@@kimieteoh4504 I'd say try it out for a bit to see if you're really determine in skating before buying skates since it can be costly. If you find out you really want to stick with skating I suggest buying Jackson's since they're cheaper skates and perfect for beginners. Also get them sharpened.

TheQuietKid alright thank you so so much!! xx

If there is a minor price difference, I’d go with group or semi bc it can be more fun and motivational to work with other people, especially if you are on the same level! It all depends with what kind of learner are you are! Hope this helped!

just believe

honestly when I’m scared to fall I just fall on purpose. Like literally slide onto the ice. So that when Im doing whatever I already know how it feels to fall and I get less scared of it.

At some point you’ve got to realize that you are destine to fall at some point. For singles the worst that can happen is you fall on your bottom. You’ve got to realize that most single jumps aren’t even a full rotation around(except for axle). Falling is just part of the process of learning. Trust the technique of your coach and try the correction they make for the jump. The more you try and fully commit, the faster you’ll get the jump. Simple as that. Hope that helped :)

thanks so much for the great replies.

Every skater must fall. You'll never learn if you don't. This may sound dumb but to help me feel not so scared of falling, I always tell myself that if I fall and die I won't have to take anymore exams and that usually gets me going.

I did. When it came time to get a new pair everyone was having trouble with the stitching being terrible. The pair that came in for me had hard fabric digging into my toes because they didn’t stitch or cut close enough so it would be seamless. I switched to Risports because they are a sister brand to Edea and aren’t as high in demand as edea is. Everyone in Italy and Russia wear risports instead of edea.

Life On Thin Ice oh ok thanks for the update!!

Omg I completely forgot about those! Flinstones are the BEST!

@@LifeOnThinIce Yep they sure are. LOL!

Jazmin the Skeleton Sans gf lol ok

Hi!! I totally understand your love for figure skating! It’s a huge commitment and if you are not able to make it to an ice rink that’s okay. To maintain your skills you need to do off ice exercises which Claire posted a video on and also stretch. If possible, check and see if you have any roller rinks nearby. It’s not exactly like ice skating but it’s pretty close and it can help you keep your skills sharp when the ice is down and you don’t have any other options. I hoped this helped!! ❤️

@@LifeOnThinIce Oh my gosh! Thanks so much this means so much to me! I have a roller rink in my town! Ill try to go as much as i can!

No. We are American.

@@LifeOnThinIce wow, un' italian :)

No. That’s rare in this sport to become a real “professional”. Some of us may coach though!

No the pictures on wikihow have the girl on a right inside edge so Claire was interpreting that.

@@LifeOnThinIce Oh ok.. yeah she was on her right foot so was just wondering... luv yall

Yes!!

Life On Thin Ice oof yeet. Omg I’m so sorry aha

Cool! We’re American

It’s not lol

Awww! That actually made my day!!❤️

Just practice as much as possible! Don’t be afraid to fall and try doing stretches and exercises at home.
