I am 16 and started self teaching myself 5 months ago. I have the basics down (t-stop,turns,forward and backwards skate,arabesque,lunge, front crossovers (need work)and 4 variations of 1 foot glides. Im no pro for sure (cant do spins or jumps YET) but my advice to anybody looking to start is this: Stretch very often, along with exercise to strengthen your core and legs. Skate as often as u can. (For me thats once a week) Don’t let more experienced people lower your determination and motivation. Instead let them act as role models, observe how they do those tricks u wish so badly to do. Lastly, remember that to do those amazing tricks you have to step out of your comfort zone. And you will fall, it’s all part of the process. Just get back up and do it again. (:
Emma Swan i am self taught as well, but I’ve been doing it for about 2 years now (a year break i between because I fractured my hip.) I can do a waltz jump, scratch spin(ish), toe loop (almost, single) and kind of a sit spin. Being self taught is kind of annoying because sometimes you don’t get YeH technique right and completely mess up. I only do it because I love it, I don’t wanna be in competition or anything.
Emma Swan very true, but i’m sorry but it’s called a spiral not an arabesque lol, gotta separate dancers/ gymnasts from the figure skaters lol. how are you doing now? i hope you’ve still been improving and working at it. it sounds like you’ve had good starting progress! well done :)
I suggest working on a Watlz jump. Pretty simple.
@@alli_xo1017 you dont need to compete if you dont want to even if your not teaching yourself you can just get lessons it's just most people compete then just have programs
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
you are a great teacher!
I skate by myself, learning from looking at others and getting some tips...
and seeing your videos is so much of a joy to me... I wish I had a coach like you :-)
THANK YOU - you are a wonderful teacher!

I really struggle with camel, but everything you've just said makes so much sense! I can't wait to try it on the ice! Thanks!
your tutorials are so helpful and many of them have helped with my skating so much!
Now I get the hang of it, tonight is a breakthrough with the help of your video... Your instruction is detailed and right to the point. Really appreciate that.
I love your videos so much ! Thank you for sharing your tips, you're an amazing teacher !
Hi! I'm actually not a skater but I'm drawing an animation where my character loops and spins all the time, thank you for your videos you are really helpful ❤❤
Wow, thank you for the detailed instructions! I am just getting back into skating after 20ish years away and trying to remember things is super difficult. A lot of the videos on here don't actually explain what to do with your body and it's super frustrating.
As someone who is just starting to learn this spin, this video is super helpful. I'll definitely be coming back to it. Thank you!
Gorgeous Cupcake I'm glad I could help
Amazing videos!!! Will try this one tomorrow for the first time
Bravo! That was a lovely example.
Wow, you are a really good teacher! I'm just starting camel spins and I'm nervous. I also watched your video on sit spins and I loved it! Do you have a video for flips?
Love your videos! They are so helpful!
thank, Im glad you find them helpful :)
This looks so damn cool lol! I need to learn how to do this! Will definitely be following your advice.
fatalxinnocence thanks :)
hehe I may very well be the world's most unconventional skater lolz but from my perspective at 120kgs ... my head is most definitely not the heaviest part of my body hahaha. Great videos awesome peeps really insightful and I am taking away a lot of great tips from them
I made the 1000th like yay
Thank you so much!!! ♥️
hi, i'm having trouble getting off of my toe pick in the spin, any advice?
Thank you, very good videos. With your help my camel spin is getting better (read decent!)
Wow!! I really envy you
Thank you for this video! It gave me the confidence to start learning the camel and your tip with the arms up front on the entrance helps loads! Thanks again for the awesome videos!
This spin is difficult. Still dont quite get it after trying. But i think your video helps clarify some things
I love your tutorials! Do you think you can do a crossovers tutorial? I am having a lot of trouble with that...
And backwards as well as forwards, I really want to learn to do backwards.
Yes, I will upload a video in a few weeks.
Hi Hayley, I can't reply directly to your message, not sure why? I Hope you can do it a bit better, let me know how it goes :)
THINICE Thanks!!!
Thanks for the tutorial! I've been skating for a year now but I still can't do the camel. Every time I try I end up falling forward over my toepick.... don't know how to fix it without a coach :'( Maybe keeping the head up will help!
Cheers mate it's just I'm an intermediate skater and I'm struggling with a scratch
I have a LONG way to go with this.
iomoon Keep working at it, you will get there in the end :)
THINICE I got it, although my spin is really slow. XD Better than falling over!
@@iomoon3608 I see you everywhere
I feel like im a very unbalanced person. When I'm up on the leg and ready to spin it's like the ice is grabbing my feet and I get all wonky
Practice standing on one foot with your eyes closed...if you can't do that keep eyes open first.
how come my coaches are never this cute? its always some crazy lady or an old guy
Lol
ヾ(◍°∇°◍)ﾉﾞ
Omg same
IKR my coach is old but he’s the funniest and I love him to bits
I can't ice skate at all but I want to learn how to figure skate can you make a beginners video??
Great tutorial! I lost my camel spin and can't seem to get it back. Will try these techniques.
Oh no, Let me know how it's going.
I need help with my camel. I use to be able to do it but as school started(it's been extremely stressful, my school is really competitive), I started to grow the habit of letting my right arm go up too high and accidentally let my left arm go to low (I'm a righty by the way). Its gotten so bad that I can only get only one rotation down and my arms are literally like an l. Everything is fine except my arms. Any tips on how to break this habit?
Yes! I had this problem but the other way around (lefty) I changed he position of my hands for a couple of weeks to behind my back and i basically held hands with myself behind my back if you get me, then I learnt to keep them level
Great video!! Can u plz make one for axel??
Jenna Adams yes, Its on the list.
For some reason when i push into it I don't start to actually spin I just starrt going on a back inside edge spiral i'm not sure why can someone please give tips? It really sucks ahh
I have a bad habit of coming up on my toe pick. I try to lift my toes up just a bit, but that makes me unfocused and I end up losing my balance. Also, on my other spins and most of my jumps, I have a terrible time bringing my arms in. Would this be the reason I have trouble rotating in my jumps? Help please and thank you!!!
On your jumps, you may have trouble rotating because
a. If you aren't bringing your arms in properly, then you won't be able to rotate as easy, as you said
b. If you have trouble with loop jumps, you may want to ride the edge longer
c. make sure you are in the proper position when jumping (ex left arm in front, inside or outside edge, etc)
Random Person what can I do to make sure my arms stay in?
You may just have to practice it. Maybe try to practice the position without jumping, so you get out of the habit of not bringing your arms out. Many times, it is a matter of forgetfulness, so you just have to think ahead and remember to bring your arms in. This is all I can think of
Random Person thank you so much I finally got my arms in I keep them on my right shoulder with my right elbow tucked into my side. Its sooo much easier!!!!!!
Where should the weight be on the blade?
The weight has to be on the rocker section, so not too far forward because you'll spin on the toe pick, and not too far back because you can't really spin on that part of the blade. Sort of the forward 1/3 of the blade where it has the most curve. Look up the "sweet spot" on blades.
This video was featured on Good Mythical Morning and it was hilarious
Hi, im 19 years old and i'll try to train by myself because the classes are so expensive to me
I did figure skating when i was line 6 or 5 years old and left the class the same year.
When the winter start in my city i will try to do your exercises and tutorial.
Someone want tell me tips or something?
Sorry for my bad english 😊
I started skating when I'm 11, and I'm afraid that's too late because everyone else at my rink is super good😂what's your opinion on starting age? And the video is super helpful, thanks so much!!
Haha me too! I'm 13 now, and on free skate 2. I also feel that everyone at my rink who's close to my age is super good. I think a good age to start would be around 7, but can't change that now. Only thing to do is practice and improve! :)
+Aaliyah Sayed lol I officially started when I was 8. . . . . :P
i started when i was 9 i am now 11 and i have my axel
I started competition artistic roller skating at 11 and five years later I could land a double Lutz (and jumps are harder to do on roller). Those who start after age 10 may not make the Olympics, but they can end up being darn good skaters. Don't set limits. Just keep trying to gradually improve little by little, and before you know it you'll be amazed at what you can do.
I'm 14 and just started haha don't stop live ur dreams
Thin Ice, have you got an Instagram account? Absolutely love your vids; you break it down the individual steps so well. Looking forward to your axel tute :)
+Anezka Sero yes, It's johnhayestv. thanks, I will be doing axel soon :)
+THINICE Thanks, added :)
My coach wants me to keep my arms out to the side, but that feels odd to me and it seems as though all the good skaters put their arms back, for a more streamlined body position. What do you think?
Elizabeth Ozorak I always teach a camel with the arms out, It creates a good balanced spin. Once you have a solid spin and position I let my skaters do whatever they want with there arms as long as it looks good.
hello John you know me from Whitley bay I'm leonnie wandless
My spin always goes to the TP I don't know why
James Thomas Hmm, Might be a few different things, Make sure you keep your head up, and while spinning make sure you draw your leg up into your skating hip. hope that helps.
i fixed it! the entry was an early opening with my hands and it threw me off balance. it's a lot better now. thank you.
Do a tutorial of a simple scratch spin
I will try and get one done soon.
yea uhm i’m not getting this spin any time soon
Hi, Im 14 and I want to start figure skating lessons but I'm afraid I've started too late. What is your take on what age you should start? and when its too late?
It's never ever too late to start! I started a few months or so before I turned 14 and what I did to help progress was making sure to improve my strength, balance and flexibility. It will help you heaps in the long run. Always make sure to give 100% effort and remember, your blade will support you, so don't be afraid when doing turn or any movement 😊 xx message me on Instagram if you need any help.

+Meredith Garrett Start when ever! JUst dont be afraid
I started at 15, it's not too late, they first levels are easy and you will zoom through them, u will be good in no time
Skating has something in it for everyone who has a passion for it. Sure we all can't be Olympic champions, but we can enjoy the challenge of pursuing an activity we enjoy. I heard of an adult skater who took up the sport for the first time in her 50s and by age 65 she could land an axel (she achieved it for the first time as an older lady, not a little girl). So if figure skating is your passion, go for it.

Why is it called camel instead of something like swan?
I can't disassociate camel with negative things like camel toe, kids calling you a camel for taking too long to drink from the water fountain, they spit and look disinterested in anything. It is an odd animal. This move doesn't look like a camel. It looks like a swan or a bird of some sort.
Talk less and skate
