2.5 years Adult Figure Skating Progress
My 2 and a half years progress video which I forgot to upload...
I barely skated between the 2 and 2.5 year mark because of a knee injury so there's not much progress apart from my axels getting 99% consistent.
Just after this video I FINALLY figured out how to cross my legs which solved the UR issues which can be seen in some jumps here. I also started to land my 2S.
Unfortunately, I had to stop skating just after this due to my knee :(.
I'm currently going through rehab so hopefully I will be able to skate again once my knee is better, but after 6-12 months I don't have much faith my axel and 2s will still work...

(Excluding the year we spent in lockdown in the UK!)
I just landed my axel at 10yrs old:):):):):)😊
And that’s what we call pre rotation
Great effort! Just focus more on correcting the cheat on the entrance --- an axel takes off forward not backward.
Omg that’s so cool! Careful about staying on the toepick for too long before being airborne tho^^
i do ice skating. i have been doing it for 5 yrs. i am trying to get me full flip landed. do you have a idea how i can land it.
you should get some speed into the 2axel
You are not checking out with your left arm/shoulder in front. Thus the landings are not secure.
Well done and good girl. Keep at the jumps, they get frustrating because you fall over quite a bit to start with. Wait until you get to the double axel 🙄😉
Its not about years.... its how often that counts :) how many times per week and how regularly u train?
Very true! I skated 2-3 times a week, however I also had a couple of injuries that kept me off the ice (knee dislocation, then a torn meniscus), plus the UK had a few covid lockdowns and adults were unable to skate during that time
Amazing! Have you got any advice for being scared of falling? I feel like its stopping me
Padding always helps! I have knee problems so I was always scared of falling and hurting a knee, but after I bought some pads I was a lot more confident! I would also say to not just go for the jump straight away (this was my mistake!). Definitely build up jumps like the Axel in parts - i.e. waltz-backspin, bell jumps etc. Not only does it help with technique but it helps mentally too!
@@jodireeve7701 thank you so much! 💕 I fell over the other day and it actually helped because I realised it wasn't that scary 😂
@Caitlin Beesley haha yeah that happened to me too 😂 after the first few falls you realise falling isnt actually that scary!
Jodi thank you for being an inspiration xoxo
Wow! You have some very nice technique! I am only 12, I landed my axel a few years ago and all I can say is that you have some good technique! Keep working at it! A little more practice and you’ll have some amazing jumps!
Thank you!
Only 2 years?? Your spins looks amazing and you have your axel !!!! Impressive !
Thank you!
IM 25 and I've recently gotten back into skating again. I've been landing my axel 25% of the time recently! Your video is so encouraging! What do you do as a training schedule? Like how many times do you skate a week? What workouts do you do off ice? How often? I want to do a broken leg spin, I have the skill but the muscle isn't there yet. I also want to do a haircutter but for that I need more flexibility, which is discouraging.
Congrats on the axel! I've been off-ice for about 8 months due to a knee injury, so I hope I can get mine back too! At the time, I skated 2-3 times a week depending on how motivated I felt to get up early 😂 I didnt do much off-ice tbh - maybe about 15mins of off-ice jumping before the session began and the occasional spinner practice and stretch when I found the time. The good thing about sit spins is the more you practice them the quicker you build the muscle, so keep at it! Haircutters are tricky, my flexibility isn't great and they're not easy on your back!
Wow, this is amazing! I hit my two years in January, but I am nowhere near as good as you are! Can't wait to have a scratch spin like yours :)
Thank you! Im sure you'll have a good scratch in no time!
may i ask how i should approach learning ice skates by myself? I can do basic stuff like moving forward but i don't know how to start skating backward, crossovers, etc
Congratulations on your progress and persistence! 👏🙂
Thank you!! 😊
Just came across your channel as an adult trying to pick skating back up- so freaking inspiring! Please keep posting!!! Also, your spins are top notch 🙌🏻
Thank you!
Great job! Interesting video, & good music choice.
I’m coming out from my break soon and despite me being way to low of a level for this it seems a lot easier when you do it, so I’m gonna try it! (By low level I mean I’m only fs1)
I’m thinking about getting started in figure skating at the age of 15 just for fun because figure skating is fun
Its very fun! Go for it!
@@jodireeve7701 I went ice skating for the first time in a few years yesterday and I was surprisingly good at it. I got my own skates and I will be starting lessons in about a month. It’s an adult class for ages 15 and up and I’m really excited. For now I can practice every weekend on Saturday or whenever I get the chance to.
Impressive! I recently made my 2 year progress video and I'm not nearly where you're at, but I definitely wish to be someday :)
Thanks! Keep at it and I'm sure you'll get there!
I started learning the axel 2 days ago and yesterday I landed it
Well done!
whitley bay ice rink! missed that place. i used to skate with coach alan
Alan was my old coach 😊
@@jodireeve7701 small world, i used to be there during 2015-16 before i returned to hong kong. alan probably dont remember me now.
成人 一年就跳成了 比小孩进步都快 了不起!
Are you skating competitively or for fun?
For fun 😊
I can see the body control an the form you hold very impressive I'll do this after a year if I look as good l buy myself a pair of ice skates maybe kick it up to twice a week great spin
I love seeing this! I skated for 10 years when I was young (landed up to double lutz, but that one just once, but I was consistently landing double flips and less difficult jumps) and also took some lessons in my late 20’s and got up to working on the axel again. I’m considering taking lessons again now that I’m back home where I used to skate, and I’m 42 now! It’s never too late to learn how to skate and such a joy. Mostly I just want to get back in shape and want the lessons to make sure I don’t hurt myself. I can still land up to a single slip but I’d be terrified to do a lutz or axel at this point! Keep it up!
Very impressive! I've started too about a year and a half ago, but I am not nearly as good as you. Wow! Well done!
Thank you! Keep it up, I'm sure you're amazing!
I started my axel in late 2019. I landed it in 2020. Lost it, and this went on till 2022. In 2022 I woke up on day landed them all consistently. Lost it the week after, and got it back the week after that. To this day they are still consistent and landed nicely. My axel journey took me 3 years. I still don’t hold my entrance as long as I could. That’s why I love figure skating. There’s always something to work towards, even when something (my axel) seems perfect, there’s always a way to improve it. I love seeing these journey videos. Great job! (Lol I’m working on my double salchow. I can’t land backwards on one foot up on my toe pick :( lol)
Harikasın ✨✨
weak push and extra weight
How is yours coming? Maybe you can pot for us.
Weak comment and extra troll 😊
You are so cool for being so consistent
what kind of boots and blades are u using ?
Here I have edea chorus with coronation blades, but after this vid I upgraded my boots to edea ice fly (had a freak accident with my chorus which caused the tongue to snap off!)
At 1:55, you synced with the lady in the back.
This song played at Colonial Classic!!! ( that’s a synchro competition)
awesome! very good axel.
Thanks!
Thankyou fro sharing your journey, i felt demotivated with my own journey lately 🥰 and your video makes me want to work on mine even harder now!!!
You aren’t crossing your feet?
My air position is something me and my coach are constantly working on. It's better these days (though far from perfect!)
Congrats for your double. I'm sure that with training you will continue improving your technique hugely
Thank you! There's a lot to improve!
I'm 16 and starting figure skating tomorrow my dream is to reach level A2 one day
Good luck! I'm sure you can do it!
How long were you working on them before lockdown? I just started axels and they’re so terrifying lol 😵💫
A couple months i think, but I didn't really practice them or the excerises much. My coach at the time was very demotivating and kept telling me I'd never be able to do it so we didnt have many lessons on it. I switched coaches a couple months after lockdown and landed my axel within a few weeks! Axels are really scary when you first start them, but after youve fallen enough times on them you forget to be scared 😂 try padding up if you're really scared of hurting yourself!Good luck!
Today is literally the first day of my figure skating journey haha but you're really inspiring after watching this and another video about you learning the axel. Keep going it was incredible!
Thanks very much! Good luck with your figure skating journey!
@@jodireeve7701 aw thank you so much 🥺 had my first pretty bad fall last week but I’m back on the ice Thursday gotta keep going ☺️
@@elle_ell02 aww the first bad fall is always the worst! I sprained my wrist learning a mohawk when I first started skating 😭 Well done for brushing yourself off and getting back on the ice! Not everyone has the determination to be able to do that! You got this💪!
@@jodireeve7701 if you don't mind me asking but do you have any tips on improving balance its my biggest problem :(((
@@elle_ell02 core balance balls are great for balance! I use mine to practice spirals and spin positions, but to start off with you can try just balancing on one foot on them. Balance is hard at first but it will naturally improve quite quickly with ice time!
Congrats, you have courage. I figured skated a lot in my teens through my 30's and became pretty proficient without ever taking lessons, but never learned to jump much because I attended public sessions and at that time it was prohibited to jump since you could hurt other skaters. You are doing good, getting up your courage and practicing on land to strengthen your legs and let you jump higher which will allow you to complete the revolution. Then for a double!!
Thanks very much! I've landed a couple doubles but not consistent yet. Well done teaching yourself! I don't think I'd manage without a coach!
Wow. Great work! Now I think it’s time for a triple.
Haha thanks! And maybe in my dreams 😂😂
I am an 11 year old figure skater and I am currently working on my DOUBLE axel lol. I have a tip: jump higher. You are trying to rotate before you even jump and that is causing to much tork and not enough height. You will need about a foot more of height if u want the double axel so keep working! I believe in you!
Thanks for the advice! As much as I'd like a 2A one day I don't think thats achievable at my age and health haha. I will definitely try to improve the height on my jumps though! Good luck with getting your double axel, I'm sure you'll get it in no time!
@@jodireeve7701 anything is possible! Keep going! 😁
I’m 11 and working on double loops…
Done my double axel now! Working on triple salchow
@@thenearlyheadlesshub5920 yay!
This is absolutely phenomenal progress🙌
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this! I am an adult figure skater working on the Axel and this gives me so much hope 😊
Good luck with your axel!
@@jodireeve7701 Thank you! ☺️
JUST 2 YEARS? YOU INSPIRE ME. 💕
by the way, how old are you? if you dont mind me asking
@@pooppoopie4838 thanks so much! 💞 I'm 25
@@jodireeve7701 did you skate as a kid/teen?
@@CariBarbour nope, I started skating as an adult 😊
@@jodireeve7701 Wow, your progress is extremely impressive. You are a natural! How many days a week do you skate?
What do you think is the brand and model of skate that can make an artistic axel? I live in Turkey and everything has a very high price here!That's why it's hard to buy here, but I have a medium budget. Which skate do you think can do moves like axels?
I landed my axel in edea chorus boots, but I'm not sure on other brands as I've only worn edeas! Your best bet is to find a fitter that can tell you the best boot for you as it will depend on your foot shape/age/skill etc!
double jumplara kadar jackson falan idare ediyor fakat triple, double jumplar için edea şart fakat bu senin hedefine bağlı tabi çünkü edea fiyatları uçmuş durumda :(
