Busting Popular Ice Skating Myths!

Ice skating is like roller skating on a Trampoline

[silby]

I roller skate and went ice skating for the first time the other day. I'm in my 40s and have been roller skating for about 5 years. I think ice skating is about to be a new love of mine!

As a teenage hockey player i can confirm skating was hard to learn but I learned early in my life. Once you get the basics down you get to learn your crossovers, backwards skating, backwards crossovers and how to to better.

For myth 4, I learned by using a hockey stick for support.

ladies and gentlemen: as a person whos been ice skating for 10 years, (im 14) you need good skates to do jumps. rentals dont have the proper needs for your ankles so it would be dangerous, if your dont sharpen your atleast once every 2 months itll be dull, ice skates arent as sharp as you think. you can start skating at any age. if your able to balace you CAN walk on ice when gliding when you have enough speed, (and run ) let me know if you have any questions ill answer replys ^^

as a competitive figure skater, yes. my mom had me on the cheapest skates for over five years. i was still able to make slow but steady progress. i fall every single practice no matter how well i do in certain jumps or edge skills. you dont need to be a certain age to start at all! ive seen adult skaters over sixty years old still competing. if it brings you joy, go for it.

The falling one!! I fell twice yesterday and it actually really funny to me 😭😭 not embarrassing it’s part of learning!!

Myth 7: Helmets are only for beginners ❌
Wear a helmet to avoid injury if you fall badly. ✅

As a beginner ice skater, I genuinely think and agree that skating aids only do worse, as I feel really trapped in them

The last one is low key giving shadow the hedgehog

For me personally it's important to start with quality gear, while the rentals might give you more of a challenge and extra training, you don't want to make it too difficult at the beginning, and an awful pair of skates is definitely gonna discourage you

I love how this went from a mythbuster video to a skating tutorial at the end

[Noobplayz_roblox]

[JonJonDeragon-ik]

[joelynnokwuchi]

Its just like rollerblading! Forward and backwards, side to side is what my mother taught me.

[exd_dripz]
