If not your head then your tail bone and that takes almost a year to fully heal 😍 saying this from experience it is extremely painful so please try and fall on your side for anyone who does not figure skate or is planning on it ❤ Love your videos Michelle
I’ve fallen on my tailbone while doing a bunny hop 😂😂😂 It hurt so much though- I’ve fallen on my tailbone 5 times (aprox) so it hurts a lot more when I sit on my tailbone or fall on it
That is why when I fall backwards I commit and fall with straight back instead of a sitting position. I tried to bend my neck but didn't help I hit my head
Same with hockey, but since the fall is so hard to control when you get hit, protecting your head and limbs (somebody once skated over another players’ wrist without noticing) is your number one priority
I needed this when I completely Charlie Browned at the public rink fourish years ago. Nothing better than just going straight flat onto your back in the middle of a public rink with literal eight year olds swirling in circles around the perimeter. Good times. Thanks to this video though, I shouldn't have that happen again. Thank you!!
Please avoid putting your hands down when you fall. Fall where the padding is. Sit to the side and keep your head up, you know what's down there. Most common injury with beginning skaters is a broken wrist
@@barbiedoll44 basically, choose a buttcheek. Left or right, there’s more fat therefore more protection there. If you’re landing sideways on your hips, try and curl into a ball, your weight can be evenly distributed over the side of your thighs as well as your hip that way
You can also get on all fours, leave your hands on the ground, and push both feet up. Once they are stable you can lift your hands off the ice. I recommend that more if your scared.
So u do March March glide so basically. While u March u try gliding (use the barriers for support) and then u keep doing that and ur skating and leave ur hand out like an airplane
I went ice skating twice ,only fell twice , but it is not easy, if you don't have strong ankles it will be painful, you will have to keep stopping and take a break because of the pain but i can still be fun i think i prefer rollor skating . GOODLUCK.
i smacked the back of my head against the ice pretty hard i allost passed out and lost most consciousness/ability to talk or react or do anything in general for a short while,my head just kinda hurt for around 3 weeks,do not freak out ever when u are about to fall
This looks almost exactly like the place I went skating at for the first and only time the ice was uneven that day and the skate hit a deep divet when I was spinning and I fell down on my wrist then hit my head and sprained my wrist lovely first memory of skating 😅 I still wanna try again tho bc I don't quite when I get hurt especially when figure skating looks so fun
step 1: knees bent step 2: V shape step 3: take the stride ( one leg push ) step 4: do the same thing over and over again step 5: stopping ( hockey stop ) two feet together then look the way you are stopping then shoulder and legs EASSYYY
Agree with everything but the hockey stop. There's a lot of nuance to balance and ankle position for that. But the V? Absolutely! I don't understand the marching in place bit.
Falling down is going to happen to you if you spend any amount of time on the ice. But you definitely don't need gloves for it. "Marching" isn't going to help you. It's just going to help you practice falling.
Is the way she stops better or the one where you turn your toes in. Because I've seen videos where they specifically tell you not to let your feet get wider than shoulder length
Step 3 should be step 1.. just saying💀🤣… half expect her to say “if you French fry when you’re supposed to pizza, you’re gonna have a bad time!”🤣🤣🤣 #southpark 🫡
I only agree with step 3 and 4 do not do 1,2 or 5 try push outwards at an angle to gain speed and also to stop turn your body and put all pressure on the front foot (hockey stop).
guys don’t stomp because if you stomp your going to eventually be stroking with your toe pick which is not good and harder to un learn i recommend pushing out to the side one good at a time then gradually push more backwards
I went for a freinds party, her is my Edvice: You want to hold on for dear life and when u can stand start to stomp. Then get a penguin and use it to help u get the format. When ur ready, go of and do all those things in the rink 😊😊😊
I’ve been wanting to get back into figure skating recently (I did it when I was 5) and didn’t carry it on for long. But a few years ago I got Plantar Fasciitis and I was wondering if it’s still possible to be able to skate with it? Would appreciate someone to reply!❤️
Listen. I know this sounds weird, but my chiropractor actually helped with my plantar fasciitis a lot. They adjusted the bones in my feet a few times and it really helped. Once I was able to incorporate the stretches and exercises they showed me, my pain was gone. On the rare occasion it comes back (only once or twice in the last 15 years), I got more adjustments, did the stretches again, and it cleared up!
@@goldiloks08 Thanks for sharing! I might see if I can see a chiropractor but my mum said it’s quite expensive at the moment so hopefully soon. But ty for the help :)
