- Watch my year-2 video here: • A Year of Figure Skati...
Many would say I started figure skating late. But I say there's no such thing as "too late".
If you find a passion for figure skating in your heart, you're unstoppable!
Some might progress fast while others progress slower, but what matters is having fun on the way! I hope this video inspires you to go out there, try ice skating for yourself, and don't hold back because you're "not young enough".
Q/ how old were you when you started?
i was 17!! (born in 1999)
Q/ How many times a week did you train?
about 2-4 times a week and 2 hours each. in the beginning i didn’t skate as much tho.
Q/ did you teach yourself in the beginning?
no, i actually attended skating school which was a 30 minute group lesson once a week!!

How old are you here. I jist turned 18 and I seriously thought I am too OLD for learning figure skating. I am not flexible at all either.
And yess I want to see how much flexible you were before you started and now after training.
May I ask how old were u when u started

Remember guys, it's never too late for starting doing something you love, life is one and you should do what you like before it's too late! Don't let anyone bring you down!

HOW THE HELL WAS YOUR RINK ALWAYS SO EMPTY 😭😭😭
I think its a private rink
Uriel De Chavez how do you get a private rink? Do coaches teach at private rinks?
@@arigreen5845 literally the same question I have in mind
@@arigreen5845you have to buy a timeslot.
@@imuglybye8146 to get a private rink you pay approximately $10 a minute and yes you can bring a private coach to a private rink which is what I do
Her one month progress would be my year progress
Same
Megan H same here. I can not even stand on ice at the first few classes.
I'd say if I went for once I week, her month process could potentially be my month process too! :)
lmao her month progress was my year progress- i’ve been doing it for like a year and i bit and i can’t do the stuff she did at four months🥺 in my defence i used to go for like an hour every month:-)
Lol i thought i'd be the same but it turns out i can do things that r almost advanced tricks and i have only been for a few weeks lol
My old coach always told me “skate with your heart and your feet will follow”
that’s beautiful!!!
Fr tho
ahhh yes, I felt something in my chest and I would just skate from my heart and my feet would follow. Never experienced something like that before, it was glorious :)

This really made me wanna start figure skating
This was really interesting to watch and seeing your progress. You should be really proud and it’s awesome you documented this to look back on!
Back in august when i first watched this i wanted to start too. 7 months later im going to start getting private coaching next week :) im super happy! Luckily its my mums friends wife so i get a discounted price haha
I already figure skate and I’m really good and it’s really fun and I’m a girl not a boy
P.S.: it's expensive
same . tx
I’m a figure skater, and I’ve been skating for 12 years. I just have to say the progress made in this video is so impressive, and so many people I skate with aren’t this good after years of the sport.

Do you think that I could get into competing if I start figure skating at 14 (almost 15)?
Rheannon of course!! it’s never too late to start we have a lot of skaters at my club that started later on who are doing really well :))
@@lydiaclaire2408 okay thank you for letting me know!!
@@rae9112 I started a few months after I turned fifteen. I will 17 in about 3 months and just passed freestyle 1. Considering I don't have a private coach (I do group lessons) and only practice once a week, Ive gotten pretty far. I'll be competing for the first time tomorrow with some friends from my class! :D I definitely think you can do it. For me it helped when I balanced out the fun and amount of work that goes into skating. Lastly, never be afraid to fall, especially in the beginning. The falls you have when you first start skating will(usually) be softer and not as hard on your body since your not doing much. With experience in falling you start to pick up on how to save yourself from falling or how to lessen the blow.
i wish i could learn figure skating. sadly, closest ice rink would be a whole city away for me.
Saame:/
heaartzz an entire continent away for me😔
Awh! I have to go to another city to take my lessons, but it’s totally worth it! ( I guess 30 minutes away isn’t that but oh well)
for me a whole country t.t
I drove an hour and 15mins eacb way for my lessons several times per week around working. But the freedom and relaxation I found on the ice made it utterly worth it!
Meanwhile-
*Me*: _trying to stand up without falling over while holding the walk_
Gachatuber :)
Ice Skating is easier than roller skating.
Trash Racoon that’s why you fall,if you are scared to fall youll never learn balance
I can relate. I'm pretty sure my pinkies are petitioning a protest against me walking ever again.
You have to start somewhere!
My friend told me that I was imature cause I want to learn figure skating which she thinks that those lessons were only given to kids. Im kinda sad cause she thinks that way. Im now thinking that other people think like that too. Youre never too old or too late to figure skate. When youre happy with what youre doing, just go for it. Were both 25 btw, I started figure skating last year but I stopped after 5 months. Im thinking of going back again.
couldn’t have said it better!! i hope you get back to figure skating!
Thank you so much for the inspiring video ❤️ it made me inspired to go back on ice again 💕 It was on my recommended list when I was feeling sad cause of my friend
Two years ago I won a pair of quad skates and really wanted to start learning figure skating but then felt too old and fat, now I've gained more weight and I'm 34 but a brand asked me to learn figure skating for a video Im supposed to do by the end of the year. I´m starting on february and got that bittersweet feeling of fear and excitement, but cat wait to start!!!!
Miss Karramel
Go for it! Do what you’re passionate about!
There are very few things that adults are “too old for.” Just do what you want and ignore the people that say you are too old!
Honestly,
I think it’s amazing how you started at an older age!
It shows ‘hey! You can still learn something when you’re in your twenties and older!’
Mostly because most people are like “if you’re gonna learn something you must be a child!”
Well done! Your progress is insane!

@@userm180 I’m sorry I’m not catholic or Christian-
@@karimahroyal9057 yep :)
*Yeah, well most people comment on how it’s better to be younger, and I mean they have a point because you get it installed in you and better flexibility but yes you can still start at a old age and still reach the same accomplishments*
y’all, i have a friend who started skating at 17 years old. i was 12 when i met her on one of her first freestyle sessions. i was maybe freestyle 4 or 5 at the time idk. we got to know each other and we both kept skating. now it’s almost 4 years later, and she just passed juvenile moves in the field. i passed intermediate right after her, and we’re both on an open theatre on ice team together. if ur just starting skating, you will improve if you just keep at it. you may feel discouraged by little kids landing doubles and triples, but honestly they might get burned out, and you can keep going. it takes dedication and hard work, but if you love it then it is totally worth it.
I started ice skating in October when I turned 17. You gave me motivation thanks
I'm 17 and I just started ice skating again I used to do it when I was little but I don't think I really learned anything crazy or I don't remember other than that I still am pretty comfortable on ice
I am old! but I am lovin it!! always a skier and horses, but I live in a city with the Snoopy Rink and I retired now from RT, so why not!?
fun!!!!
I don’t know how or why your video was in my recommended, but I’m so happy it was! Talk about a fast learner with determination 😊 this was a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing!
thank you for watching!
Omg same it was in my recommended but I loved the vid keep up the good work , why do I sound like a teacher
minasmiles you bet! It was a joy to see
yo I would love to have a rink to myself
Sarah Newmann i did once on a completely empty public skate and it was so great lmao
We have two ice rinks in the entire city and all surrounding suburbs it’s safe to say I’ve never had a free rink. (After those two the closest one is 70km away)
In the winter my family builds a rink in the back of our yard!
Sameee the skating rink closest to me is always packed with people. It's pretty much impossible to practise jumps and/or spins there if you don't go at a weird time like 10am on weekdays (but I have school so I almost never have the oppertunity to do that)
Same - where I live, the closest all year one is miles away and one opens in my town from November - January but it's always packed with annoying kids who try to push people over and knock into people - it's a shame because ice skating is one of the only sports I tend to enjoy, much like many others
I like the dress she wore on her bday. 🤩

@@userm180 do give out the gospel and get people to God. Don't be a troll...
Lol I'm 26 and for some reason I have so many things I want to do now. I'm not sure if I'll do any of them. But all the things I want to do are stacking up xD (sewing, ice-skating, embroidery etc)
Trust me. I am a teenager and I just started, and even though it hurts seeing literal 8 year Olds do 1000x better, I just try to push myself harder each time. It's the amount of passion, and drive, not always experience.
Is it to late to compete?
Yes, I’ve decided, I’m gonna practice figure skating, it doesn’t matter that I’m 13, if she did it, I can, so just I’m gonna wait until my city’s ice rink opens
I want to do the same, I’m 13 too and trying to save up enough money for it I hope it goes well for you 😊
Gosh, i feel so old😑 turning 17 this year

One month and you were starting crossovers?! WHAT. I couldn't even do a one foot glide after like 3 months!
Well, I can't talk for her, but in my case, I always wanted doing figure skating and everyone said: you're too old. As I grew older (I'm now nearly seventeen) this wasn't something that could hold me back. Til then I was on the ice maybe once a year, but for that very fast. I've seen my boyfriend practicing the crossover and I also tried it. And that was the time I said: Okay, let's do it! And I just learned figure skating by myself. Not as good as she, but I will be better with a coach. ;) Just have fun and don't look on others. They maybe have over conditions, that help them :)
Schnuffel Duffel I just get inspired by people better than me, hoping I’ll be able to do that some day lol
Schnuffel Duffel too old at 16! I’m 36 and have just started lessons! There are just as many adult beginner classes as kids at the rink we use
I learned crossovers after 2 hours
4 words.. Everyone’s mind is different
That is a TON of progress in just a year! Jealous! WOW!
Janet Slater thank you so much!!!
I wanted to start figure skating from when i was 5 but my mother always told me that it would be a waste of money and time. She always told me that i was made for swimming even tho I don’t like it. One year ago i moved to Spain with my parents. My city is a very hot place and theres absolutely no ice. I started giving up on my dream but after watching this video my dream came back. I really want to go to Russia where the rest of my family lives and start ice skating. My mother is overprotective and I don’t think she would let me go there, this video made me believe in myself tho. I am not going to give up on my dream until it becomes true. Thank you for such an inspirational video!

Maybe you can rollar skate, as an alternative? That’s what I’m going to do. I live in rural Australia. The closest ice rink is three hours away, and even the closest skating rink is an hour. Even the closest skatepark is 30 minutes. I’m 15, so I obviously can’t drive myself yet. The day will come though. Anyways, my plan is to save up money to buy rollar skates, so I can first Judy practice whenever we go to town 😸
I’m 14 right now and when I skated for the first time, I immediately fell in love with it. I’d love to get lessons but i don’t think my parents would let me this late into my life, and not to mention it’s pretty expensive.
I wanted to take up skating when I was 14, and my mom told me that I was too old. Scare your parents with my story. They can either have a daughter that starts figure skating at 14 or a daughter who starts figure skating at 42. Their choice.
I can’t even stand up straight on the ice rink so she is amazing
me: this gives me so much motivation!
also me in bed watching this: *dang i have to get up tho ..*
me also in bed reading this: wow i should really study or do something productive but really i’m just here obsessing over youtube

I always thought I was too old (I’m 16) to start skating and this is so inspiring. Too bad the ice rinks where I live are only around for Christmas :(
Heyy I'm 16 too and I just started ice skating last year and I'm pretty good! It is not too late and you should start when you are still young!Doesn't matter if the rinks come around near christmas, take that chance to start praticing as much as you can!
I'm 16 too I always wanted to Ice but they aren't any Ice rink where I live. So I started roller skating five months ago and this holiday I'm traveling to a city where there is a ice rink so I hope at least go one to the rink
Nessa La ha lol I don’t even ry ice rinks at Christmas and it was my dream to just go skating once for 6 whole years. As soon as I got my freedom to travel (two months ago) I went ice skating and I don’t have the passion I once had but I still love it and I always make the 4 hour commute to the Christmas rink in the capital when I’m allowed
I started when i was 30. Now im 33 and skating well

WE HAVE NO ICE SKATING RINGS AT *ALL*
Hi! I just wanted to say that this really inspired me to keep learning to figure skate. I’m 15 and everyone around me it telling me that it’s too late to learn and improve. This proved them wrong and I’ll be showing them this video! :)
Ziggy don’t give up. I shouldn’t have given up ballet.
It's definitely not too late 😊. I started three years ago - when I was 25 😂😅...
did you have any background like ballet or anything related to skating?
I’ve been thinking about getting lessons but I don’t have any background and all ( although i used to be flexible but meh i can barely reach my foot anymore ) and a late starter and I’m not sure if I should still go....
@@ueva6713 Same here, I just finally signed up for Ballet lessons yesterday - never did it before 😊. Give it a try, as it is never too late. We even have some new people around 40-50 years old in our figure skating group, and they are better than me - which is kind of motivating 😃.
In 10 years you would only regret that you didn't start earlier 😉.
People told you that at 15 years old?? Dang this culture is so hyper obsessed with youth. That's so obnoxious. People act like life ends the moment you breathe after exiting the womb.
Passion; Determination; HARD WORK; Patience; Resilience; Being “level-headed” both in attitude and in body...having a teachable, joyful spirit and a humble attitude through both successes and failures... IT’S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL THING TO WATCH! Thanks for sharing! You’re SO very cool and adorable and absolutely AWESOME at ice skating! ❤️❤️❤️

hi this video is old so you probably won’t see this but in case you do, thank you for posting this. i recently got back into skating after not doing it for a few years and i’ve lost most of my skills. it’s incredibly motivating to see someone else improve so much and it makes me feel like i can as well
I love seeing people start skating despite their age, such a beautiful thing and you've improved so very much. Please continue sharing your passion to the world.
Lunaryse thank you so so much!!! you’re so kind!
Lunaryse yeah! I’ve told my dad for months now that I’ve been wanting to do Ice skating but he said that you have to start when your younger.
OMG
I really want to start ice skating but there's no ice rink near my town (I think there's only few ice rinks that are open whole year in my country)
I get you. I would also like to take up ice skating but there aren't any ice rinks in my region. Probably up north where it's much colder and in cities that can afford it
i’m sorry guys :(( maybe keep on the lookout if any open.. or you could start roller skating! they have the same jumps and spins! :)
@@minasees Thanks for the advice. Keep up the good work 👌
Same, always been told my feet are too big for figure skating skates so I've given up before even started. Hope you'll find an ice rink one day though and get to try it out! :D
Im from Brazil, so ice skating isn’t a thing at all, but I recently started roller skates and it’s awesome, I recommend it guys
So cool to see someone out their heart and soul into something they want to learn! Go you! It looks so freeing and you look like you are having the best time. :)
This made me so emotional. I’ve been wanting to start skating but I feel like it’s too late, this really encourages me.
This is so weird I was actually talking to my mom about starting figure skating today (I'm 17) and this popped up in my recommended !! Totally inspired !!
omg that’s so funny 😹 good luck!!
TaeTae I started skating at 17, and have now been skating for 8 months! You can do anything you put your mind to :)
im also 17 and im also thinking about take up skating!
TaeTae I wish I could’ve had the chance. Good luck! ☺️
Me too!
See like, your walking proof that if you wanna do somthing and become passionate about it, you can do it :) age should never be a factor.

Ty for this video! I’m 17 and I wanna start figure skating but I was afraid it was too late, but you totally saved me from giving up :)
I wish there were big empty ice rinks like this in the uk
Rip same
Depends where you live to be honest. I'm from Birmingham UK and although they have ice rinks out for Christmas there are places that you can go to where there is an ice skating rink. it's fun. I tried ice skating the first time and fell. though would love to try again and again till I can ice skate properly. practise make perfect.
Nottingham is fairly empty most weekdays, prices suck though
I used to skate at the bispham ring but I had to get up at 5 am for an hours journey most days of the week. I wish I didnt quit though :c Was about to do my exam for nisa 1 the week after
Ik in ireland there only there on the winter
You have A LOT OF TALENT!!!! YOu are an amazing skater!! You have something ellegant in the way you skate!! I am skating 12 years now and i have never seen someone who learned to skate so fast so well!! You should really keep going because you have a lot of talent!!
solle nameor thank you soooo much!!! you’re too kind! 😭😊
solle nameor Yes she does, Ive been skating for 8 years and i was surprised at how far she got in a tray. Great job 🔥😝
I was thinking the same thing! You are so good at it!
Sara Ligammari thank you guys!!! it means the world!!! 😊
Thoroughly enjoyed watching your progress. It brought back good memories of my many years of skating, but had to give it up 30 years ago. I still love to watch it. Congratulations on reaching out for your dream. You've inspired many. Never too late!
I love watching your progress because it's so inspiring but also I'm LIVING for your outfits!!!
I want to learn figure skating myself, and I've been told many times I'll never get anywhere because I'm too old to learn. I'm only 16, but I started to believe it. However I feel like somehow seeing this video was fate. Something like the universe telling me I should. I'm inspired to try my best to learn. Thank you for making this video.
Hey i’m also 16 and i really want to learn ice skating!
18 in two weeks and made the first step today, an email asking about a free place. I hope so much I can start there...
Chiming in to say I didn't start until I was 23 and I've already made a ton of progress! Plus it's just so fun.
Never too old to learn!! I started at 35 and my coach started at 39. Do it!!
no one is ever too old to start something
00:40 my first fall was getting on the ice
HAHA SAME
Maria Jorreca SIS ALXJSUSJSBD 😂😂😂
I figured skated for years and recently thought about getting back into it! You’re never too old and I loved seeing this!
I just started taking actual classes three weeks ago, and honestly, this has given me the motivation to continue on because wOW you are so good after only just a year
I found this video just now and believe me when I say that this is such an inspiration for me, I've been loving figure skating since 2017/2018 but I've always been afraid because of my age, I'm almost 15 and usually people start skating at 4 or 5, I was about to give up, but thanks to u I won't, this time I'll go skating ^^
go follow your dreams!! xx
I thought it was only me! I've wanted to do ballet and figure skating for a while but I was worried because other people already started at 3 or 4
Samee
Nothing wrong with skating at 15
elia sucks good for you!!! Wish I could do that
This was ridiculously inspiring.
Yes, girl! I am right with you! Just started a couple weeks ago, picking up from where I left off as an 8-year-old, and I'm so determined to improve! Very inspiring.
This is honestly really beautiful to watch. It makes me truly happy to watch these kind of videos, especially figure skating! I wish I could learn how to figure skate and compete but I live in Australia and in a small town, so it's hot and no skating rinks nearby. Hopefully when I graduate Highschool in a few years time, I'll be able to move to a capital city and learn to skate. You're my inspiration! Thank you for sharing this content with us. :D
honest question, how many times a week do u practice? like i've been a skater all my life and i'm now a part-time coach i've never seen someone progress that much ever... as an update y’all i’m not saying she’s lying at all, i wanted to know as some kids really want to pass their starskate as fast a possible. so you guys wanna cool it
Getting the feel of the ice and probably going twice or 3 times a week probably just to get this good.
XGreywolfxXx that’s way more than 3 times a week. The kids I coach skate 8 hours a week and I’ve never seen someone progress like this... I’ve been doing this for 6 years and skating for 10
The poster of this video went back and "liked" EVERYONE'S comment except yours. Hahahhaaa! I was wondering the SAME thing! I think you might be on to something here......
Right? I dont coach but I watch a lot of skating and I've never seen anyone progress that much in a year
it was actually always different! in the beginning i skated once or twice a week and once i got a coach 2-4 times sometimes even five! :) only had coaching once a week though...
Hi! I'm 14 and I start with ice figure skating 2 months ago. Everyone is telling me that's too late, but I don't want to give it up! It's my new life and I can't live without it! I hope I will be better, but it's hard if everyone say that you can't do it, because you aren't flexibility.. But I fight for it! Don't hear to the voices of others! You can do it! It don't care how old are you! Believe in your dreams! To be on ice means flying to me.. I take you as model that it's possible! Thank you for being powerful!❤
couldn’t have said it better myself 💓
LoveMimi06092011 Apparently Adam Rippon started getting serious in figure skating at 14 so don't give up!
Do you do lessons everyday?
@@sarais9050 No, I have lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays I go skating for my one.. But I get better☺️
Flying... its EXACTLY like that! And I really miss it now I have no rink available.
this is really impressive and inspiring. i’m a decent ice skater but i want to start figure skating. it’s really cool seeing someone my age start figure skating! i thought i was too old to start. congrats on your progress!!
I just started my figure skating 4 days ago. Seeing someone else skating and doing it by myself are completely two things!!! It's hard, but you inspired me so much!
damn. I been skating a year and half and I still can't spin or do three turns. lol :/
kassie jane everyone improves in different speeds! what’s most important is that you don’t give up!
kassie jane lmao i quit after a year and a half almost 6 months ago because i was too scared to do a two foot turn and now im kinda regretting it
Started when I was 9 I was like 11 or 12 when I started doing 3 turns and now (14) I’ve landed all my singles (except for axels) and if I can get through all that I’m sure you can too
kassie jane oh gosh ur sooooooooo lucky I wish I have in in my city
Miraculous Pineapple it is all a mental game - if you miss it, start again and keep that lesson in mind and be braver this time 🖤 you can do it!
Whoo! I started literally the same day as you!! Adult ice-skate buddies!! 🙏❤️❤️ You progressed so nice and calmly, my coach would love you! 😂 Instead she got stuck with me and my habit of (often literally) flinging myself at any interesting skill, regardless of if I was ready lol. My poor coach. She deserves a medal for surviving all the heart attacks I’ve given her 😂😂🏅
Haha! My cookie. YAAAAY THATS SO AWESOME!! we’re skating twins!!! 🧡🧡 and trust me it wasn’t as calm as i portray in this video 😹😹😹
Haha! My cookie. hah me too except I was taught them. I tried a flying camel and belly flopped. Everyone thought I broke my nkse or slashed my chin!
I watched this video and the next day called and signed up for lessons. It is so fun! It never would've crossed my mind without this video, thank you!❤
This is amazing! There are so many things I've always wanted to do, but since I live in a small town none of these things were ever an option or even available.. I'm still stuck here for now since I'm still in school but maybe in 2 years I'll finally get the opportunity to try! This has made me motivated and even excited for when that time comes! Thank you😄😊

i’m a figure skater and I LOVE THIS i started when i was ten and i’m fifteen now i had to work twice as hard to catch up to everyone my age AND I DID this shows everyone that if they put their mind to it they can do it
My daughter is the same! Started when she was 10 and is now 13. She still has a ways to go before she catches up, but she is making progress, doing her best, and loving it. We are lucky that we live in an area with a lot of skating. The school district even has a figure skating team where we live for 7th thru 12th grade from mid November thru mid March. They do 2 to 3 competitions (depending on how they competitions are scheduled) plus 3 nights of an ice show.
HEEEEY I WAS 15 5 MONTHS AGOOOOOO
GRAAAAAAAAHHHGGHHaahhGGG!!!!
This video is a great inspiration! I am 27, I started two years ago and had to switch to Inline skates because there is no ice rink near by anymore. But I am improving and it makes me so happy! Thank you for sharing your progress. 💚 you are doing great!
Most incredible progress. You are absolutely amazing!
Girl I'm sooo jealous! I've been skating for 12 years and my spiral does NOT look like that, you my friend have natural flexibility. Keep going with it, it's an amazing sport 😉 Also my favourite figure skater has always been Mao Asada
Crystal Brooks 12 years and it’s worse than that, are you on ice twice a year ?
I'm no good I skated 5 times a week for many years, and these past few years just once a week. Flexibility doesn’t come naturally to everyone, not every skater is flexible unless they want to go really far in the sport.
Crystal Brooks I know but since you’ve been skating for 12+ years I thought you would have put in the effort to get flexible
Aiko Bailey
Same
@@imnogood5016 it's not so easy to be flexible lol. i've been skating for 5 years and i'm the least flexible person on the planet.
Damn y’all seem to be lucky with your falls😂
The first fall I had I landed right on my knee and it was dark purple for week I almost gave up😂
its.sophia after that first fall everything went downhill for me 😹 my knees literally had faces because of all the bruises!! my first purple knee fall was when i tried bunny hops and it was soo painful! luckily we get used to these things 😹😹
minasmiles ahah yeah but the worst killer is when you pull a muscle 😂
one time i fell and tore my ligament in my ankle and had to go to the hospital
Yeah, my worst fall was at competition and I slit my wrist open with my blade. No clue how but now I have a scar soooo... I have also winded myself multiple times cause I just kinda throw myself at things.
@@minasees right? After the first fall so many falls come after
Your scratch spin after the break was bloody amazing u should be hella proud like wow girl wow
The progress you have achieved are astonishing ! I find it amazing ! I would have loved so much being able to skate this way . I'm now retired and hope that will be possible in another life ! Thank you for your video !
it's not about 'a year'. it is about total hours of practice in a year. you're inspring though. thought i was a kid for being the only adult who constantly visit the ice, but i guess sports should have no age limit.
Sally Lemon true!!
I always wanted to figure skate since I was 6, however my parents thought of excuses for me not to do it. I'm 14 now and I am going on a trip with my school to a ice rink for the first time.Wish me luck!⛸️
good luck my friend!
Same. I was 11 when I wanted to start figure skating, gymnastics and taekwondo but my parents are like "NO"
Then when my brother turned 11, he asked if he could get coaching for Basketball and Soccer. My parents said yes
Later, I told them that this isn't fair. So I got quite angry and they finally let me YAY
@@polaalang5299 omg that's so cool, how are you doing now?🥰
@@vivi-fy2qt I still have school so I'll start this summer
I am the same too it's my dream to become a figure skater since 8 but my parents doesn't want that now i'm 17 and i'm kinda sad coz I didn't live up to my dream
This came to my recommendations at the right time. I'm finally starting ice skating this year and I'm so excited
It was amazing to watch your progress! I skated since I was nine and got up to the juvenile level but about three years ago I sprained my ankle. I wasn't able to skate for a while and then I just never went back. This honestly makes me miss it and I'm going to go back. Thank you
This is actually so inspiring. I'm 23 years old and want to learn how to figure skate now.
Am 23 too, I feel like am to old to start, but I may regret it if I don't.
@@MarthaLTorres I'm 23 too and just started group lessons two months ago. I knew that if I didn't try, I would regret it. I'm not progressing very fast but I am having fun, and that's what counts :) my advice would be to try it and see where it takes you!
Kelsi Cox i’m 23 too! I really want to start learning but I’m too shy because most of the time only kids are at the rink and there’s always an audience outside huhu
Im 27 and doing it on my own time and its really fun to practice on your own.
@@MarthaLTorresYou are never too old to do thibgs. We only make ourselves believe we are. We live once on this earth. Live it with no regrets.
I started when I was 23. I was in my first competition 7 months later. I continued stating until I was 36. I stopped because of a work injury to my back. There's nothing like flying through the air when jumping. I still miss it a lot.
When I started, many other adults were also beginners. The nice thing is most rinks have morning sessions for adult skaters. That was my favorite time to practice. No kids and the group size of skaters was small.
Ughh, I wanna skate so badly but I’m not in shape and it’s so expensive...
it can be really cheap and you don't have to be in shape! second hand skates are great and some beginer skates can be £20 ($25 ish) and where i am its £7.40 to skate on the rink as long as you want with skate hire and £5.40 with your own skates. you also don't have to get a coach to get good, youtube has tons of amazing skating tutorial videos
This is giving me hope😁 I wanna start skating again hopefully next week and seeing your progress makes me happy + determined to start!
As a beginner myself this is soooo inspiring ! Thanks for posting ❤️
Wow! that progress is impressive! To get to where you are in a year. PROUD! That is clearly a lot of passion and a lot of hard work too. I am an adult skater (22yrs old) as well. I started skating March 2018. I've always wanted to skate, and there's a rink right next to my school that I pass by and watch the kids there skate everyday. And one day I just thought, why not. And I've been skating until now. I absolutely love it. Watching your video is an added motivation. It just makes me so happy to know that one day I can skate like that too. Keep skating! :)
This video gives me such hope that I can do things I never thought I could do because I didn't start when I was in utero
Victoria Comeau same! I started skating lessons last week and I’m really excited about improving!
Your progress is impressive. I've been at it now for 5 months and not nearly so balanced. It's different when you're 70 years old but I think you and I have the same amount of enthusiasm for learning new moves. Keep going!
i’m proud of you and this video is motivated me
So inspiring! This is my favorite progression video. What age did you start I hope to get as good as you in a years time. I started when I turned 19 four months ago ♡♡⛸
Hey Zakiyyah! (I love that name wow)
Thank you so much girl! I really appreciate your comment :* ♡
I started skating when I was 17! I'm sure you'll reach your goal as well if you keep at it!!♡ Once you lose your fear of falling and just do it you'll improve incredibly fast I promise!
Skating is such a wonderful and rewarding sport but it can be quite discouraging at times... don't give in and KEEP GOING! You've got this!
And remember, the most important thing is to have fun!!♡
Can't wait to see how far this sport brings you!! :*
@@minasees oh nooo I'm just seeing this lol but np and thank you so much as well. Yeah I hold back a lot because I don't want to fall and I'm limiting myself from doing things but I wont give up! ♡♡
Zakiyyah Flores I started when I was 19 too 😆
I'm 16 and I always thought that I'm too old to start with some new hobby and my mom also said that all the people who do figure skating have been doing it since they were little but I feel a lot better about it now and maybe I'll try it.
@@happychicken4292 girl, I started to do gymnastics 3 months ago and I'm 23 😂 It's never too late :)
Awesome! I watched every last bit of this! I started skating 7 months ago at the age of 41 and like you. I was proud of myself but I wanted to skate like everyone else! I do an hour of private coaching a week plus lots of extra ice time because I want to be beautiful on the ice too! Thank you for the inspiration!
Lily Gold oh my goodness! thank you so much for being inspired by silly ol’ me!! Skating is so weird because once one starts they can’t get enough of it and can’t improve as fast as one wants to. But it’s a super rewarding sport and I’m glad you enjoy it as much as I do!! I also have 1 hour lesson a week :))
can’t wait to see how far this sport gets you! keep us updated!!
I started at the age of 33. Still goin'. Best of luck to us!
+alkibiad love this!
Good for you!
I’ve been skating for two years and you are already WAY better than me!!!! Congratulations!!!!
It's so lovely to see the progression. U should be very proud of yourself.
Honestly I would love to learn how to figure skate because of Yuzuru Hanyu and Cha Jun Hwuan. (You're on the list now too)
same for me because of Yuzuru Hanyu
everyone with real people,me idolatry 2d characters 🙂
One month first fall
I fell on my first day...
Well I mean I didn’t fall till a year after that soooo.... 🤷♀️
for GOD so loved the that HE gave HIS only begotten SON that whoever believeth in HIM should not perish but have eternal life"-the Gospel of JESUS written by john 3:16."But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"-the Gospel of JESUS written by john 1:12. hi! JESUS loves you and died for you if you accept HIM! HE rose from the dead to show us that death cant hold HIM! repent and start living your life for HIM and when the time is right HE will get you to Heaven💙
I'm 37 and looking to try and finally (after longer than I'd like to admit) get on the ice. I know it's nowhere near the same thing, but I used to roller blade when I could (and the only place I had wasn't crowded). It was... freeing!
Your progress shows a real love and dedication to what you do! It's motivating, for sure!
Do it! Don't wait!
This is so inspiring I am trying to get into figure skating so that the entire reason I found this video. I hope one day I'm as good as you.
Oh man I wish I could do figure skating 😪
but you can!!
@@minasees The closest rink to me is three hours away 😭😭 and I can't afford to get a train there
Okay, I want to learn figure skating in 2019 and I was always bad in ice skating. I JUST FOUND ONE OF MY INSPIRATIONS
ahhh i feel honored!! i wish you the best! xx
Tak jak jsi dopadla? Chodíš bruslit?:)
Have you started? Would love to know
I love seeing people who aren't children following their dreams. Alot of grown ups think it's too late for whatever but it really isn't. Give anything some time and passion and it will blossom. Very inspiring. keep up the good work 👍
