learning to ice skate

[yello]

As a professional ice skater, you have good form for your first time. Don’t look down all the time because you’re essentially pushing your body forward and that gonna make you lose your balance and fall forward and this makes your confidence go down a bit when skating cuz you will constantly be afraid of falling. Either way you did AWESOME❤. Hope you had fun though 💗

As a figure skater your doing amazing for your first try when I first went ice skating when I was 8-9 I fell a lot and just sticked to the walls but now I have 94 medals and trophies together and I’m really proud of you that you was confident enough to fall and learn because back then I was also really embarrassed by myself and now seeing others getting better really makes me happy ;)

This is what i felt when i tried rollerblading for the first time but unlike taz i didn't get it in the first place though

I went for my first ice skating trip with some colleagues the other day and I did exactly what you did, I gained some confidence and was able to skate on my own. One of my colleagues has been skating for years and told me that she was extremely impressed with the way I handled my first try and said a lot of people quit after either falling over or getting way too frustrated. I didn’t fall, but I did get frustrated, however I was persistent and motivated and, at the end, I was able to move around the rink on my own. I will definitely be going back again! ❤

You did great! Will you continue? I started taking lessons when I was about your age- it’s great to start as an adult because you breeze through the first few levels and you’re doing spins and jumps in no time. Definitely learning to skate was one of the most fun things I have ever learnt!

Taz actually did really well for her first time, My best advice for learners is definitely try inline skating first, i found its quite a good way to get the motion down and really helps with confidence as theres a little more traction which helps with balance, hope this helps

you did great! my first time ice skating i was alone and i kept falling over in front of people, so embarassing im never doing it again 😭 i would love to actually be good at it but i just can’t keep my balance

As a professional been doing for about 11 years. I’m 13 so Keep your head up. Never look down. You did awesome. Try and fall on your side and never backwards. Hitting you head is a big deal. Bend those knees and back straight! Never wobble your arms keep them straight start with marching and your all good!! Thanks for reading

I'm looking forward to taking this up for fun in the New Year. We have a rink near us here in Catalonia, I think I'll be doing a lot of the barrier holding to start with. You did real good, well done.

I just started Ice skating this year too! It’s so much fun 😊

I actually went ice skating late last year for the first time since I was a small child and I was so excited for it.

Unfortunately, my ankles are very hypermobile and loose (I have EDS) and I fell over forwards 5 times in 15 minutes because my ankles were not strong enough to support me and they kept wanting to roll inwards and it became very painful to try and keep myself up to skate.

Needless to say I was covered in bruises and I would've broken my knee if it weren't for the padded braces I was wearing. Shame, I love ice skating but now I know I can never participate in it again. :(

Aww that’s so sweet!!!! Thank you for showing us!!!! I also reallyyyy would love to learn how to ice skate ⛸️ I just have no idea when I would find time to try 😂 but it’s definitely a goal I have too and I’m so glad you actually got to do it and learn so

[MelissaLiu-psus]

That’s great my first time I started learning was early this year and I had some time before my class so I went onto the ice and just skated immediately

[Noneofyourbeeznis_]

You’re so adorable ma sha Allah keep up the amazing stuff

[safrafath]

One of my childhood dreams has always been to learn how to ice-skate. One day, I wish to learn it ♥️

[kozicarrot]

i went to the same ice rink yesterday!! there was a part further down where there are no rails or anything to hold on to but a slim slim wooden bar and just wall which is where i challenged myself to skate by myself. i fell in the first two minutes lets gooo 🎉🎉

[rosinamalik]

So excited for you, I have been really into ice skating for some time now but I don't think I will ever get to ice skate in this lifetime
So I guess I will live vicariously through you 😜😂

Try ising the aid, it helps you ballance on the ice and when i was 8 (im 18 now) i was so bad, bit i then noticed these aids to use and it really helped me!

You did actually pretty good for a first timer. Here’s the thing. As a basic two or three figure skater (no judging I’m only a twelve year old girl who wants to be a good skater) you’re constantly looking down. Always look up. It helps with your confidence and also looking essentially pushes your body forward making you more at risk to fall. Also when skating I would start by turning the inside of your feet out and the push with that to get momentum. But great job! Keep working on it and then you won’t have to stick with wall!

[Figureskatingislife]

So here’s a tip
When you are ice-skating, don’t push forward or backwards push to the side and don’t go on your rockers, which is near the toe pick stay towards the back of your skate because that’s for gliding and to start off. I think you should start marching and then work your way to pushing out.
