“My mother used to tell me I was a natural athlete, ... she lied” 😂😂
Brian Morales hahaha meeee but he was okay! Better than the girl
me_irl
Hannah G she even said "How Hard Can This Be?"
Daniel Smith ik🤦🏻♀️🙄
I felt sorry for him lol
So kristi doesn’t age after 1996
Scrolled down just for this comment.
Asian no raisin😂
I feel like she looks younger now? Maybe the hair in the 90s made her look older lol
We asians skip the adult years and just jump right down and turn into ugly hags after 50.
Ahah so true
I think rainbow shirt was pretty good because he wasn't afraid of falling, he embraced his fate and just exerted himself fully
Alexis Garcia those are the rules of figure skaters.ps I'm a figure skater so this was halarious to me
i was thinking the exact same thjng
Not me. I thought about inertia, and strategically employing a fetal position to combat fate.
was just about to comment that
Fun fact my name is Alexis Garcia
I knew the moment she said "how hard can it be?" that she was doomed from the start 😂
yup, karma. lol
it made me real mad when she said that lol
UnovaTrainerWhite I mean ice skating is already hard af
She was the one having the most trouble in my opinion, too lol
As a figure skater I found that really offensive xD
Gabby: How hard can it be ?
Figure skaters everywhere: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH LOL cute.
Jessy Jae just subscribed to your channel
Isabella Cosby now you are making everyone seeing this curious on what they're missing
Isabella Cosby omg thanks!! 😁😁
Lmao so true 😂
That's exactly what I was thinking!
Of course the girl that said it wouldn't be difficult ended up struggling. Don't under estimate ice skating 😂
maggie L 😂😂😂
maggie L I said yeah okay
maggie L FIGURE skating. There is a difference.
I also think we shouldn’t underestimate anything in general. We never know!
People always underestimate things related to dance 😂 its hilarious when they try and realize
Girl said "it's gonna be easy" doesn't understand how lethal figure skating is.. It's hella difficult to skate... Don't underestimate it cuz it's pretty
Steffi J she also wasn't committing because she was too scared to fall but the guy that was doing the best also fell the most so there's a lesson there
Yup, if you wanna skate well, you have to fall more times than you can count 😂
Steffi J You and i are simalar! In slytherin, and Ice skate!
Right?! It's the hardest sport out there! Not to mention one of the most dangerous
Steffi J ....right like ballet
Ma boi in the rainbow shirt was holding back, I know he would've flamed everyone 😂
Rainbow Bones hahaha true
Hell yea...they got nothin on him
Rainbow Bones he was probably scared that if he didn’t hold back, he’d melt the ice.
Rainbow Bones b
I k r
I'm a hockey player but I have a lot of respect for figure skaters, it's a tough sport. As soon as that lady said "how hard could it be?" I just burst out laughing and knew she would soon find out how hard it really is.
hckyroxs oh thank god,someone who doesn't say figure skating is easy.We figure skaters know that hockey isnt that easy either but CAN YOU NOT SCREW UP OUR ICE
Lol, it's funny you say that cuz as hockey players we're always "why do figure skaters screw up our ice with their toepicks?!?!" Joking aside, my best friend growing up did figure skating so I really learned to appreciate it.
All these figure skating moves are pretty easy for me lol
I can't even skate fastest I went without machine is running i only bike 21 mph short burst and i run faster and i run and do soccer
Thank you!
How could you think that because you are an gym nut or fitness junkie means you'll have a natural advantage SKATING ON ICE. The cloest a person can get to that and not be on ice is ballet and I'm sure she doesn't do that. The dude who fell did a little better than her. And he isn't even an athlete or anything.
Retro Bit Baby RBB true!!!!
Yeah I do ballet and I don't really ice skate as I live in Florida but once in a blue moon I do and I can't skate normally so this girl had no idea
I think she said it for the video so they can rewind back to it to make a joke.
Retro Bit Baby RBB chill out it was a joke don’t take it so seriously
Retro Bit Baby RBB yeah I’m a dancer and people are just like yeah I go to the gym once a week so I’d probably be good at dancing and I’m just shaking with anger
I wanna see hockey players try figure skating.
She did one video actually. It's with her husband who's a NHL player: czcams.com/video/R1ZNeDVBCkE/video.html
*XD Then watch the Movie , Go Figure*
Avanna Ellormie YES
theres a tv show called Battle of the Blades where they have professional hockey players do figure skating with professional figure skaters.
I have done it before. It much easier when you already know how to skate.... I gotta admit I didn't do that bad 😂🤷♀️
“I like the sparkles...don’t tell anybody” literally is posted on the internet for anyone to see. 😂
I’m a figure skater and when she said “how hard can it be” I said “oh just you wait”
Jazzy Wolf I'm not even an ice skater and I just stared at her and shook my head
I can't skate lol but i rolled my eyes SO hard when she said that
I used to skate too! It’s funny because we all kinda get confident learning something new if it’s going well but then we fall on our faces and remember figure skating is really freaking difficult
Jazzy Wolf sameee xD. Like lmao I want you see doing triples like it's nothing xD
samee
Kristi is 46 years old... How tho? Also, remember when she was in that old Disney movie called "Go Figure"? She looks exactly the same! And that came out like 20 years ago!
More like 46 years young.
That movie came out in 2004 I think, so 14 years, but I totally agree! She's gorgeous
Asians don't raisin
Because asian+makeup. There were an article about some japanese women who were 50+ but looked 20
Yamaguchi japanese skaters?
Kristi is ageless.
formerflautist She IS though...like, it’s unfair really.
Came straight out of her Olympic debut
Asian don’t raisin
How can she not have aged at all since 1992
yuuue Asian
yuuue I know. She is something else!
The ice keeps her from spoiling.
The power of makup
So many 5 year old girls who can already do all these moves and were insanely jealous that they didn't get to train with Kristi
drewpamon many 5 year old girls already have their singles
drewpamon you can out your toddler on the ice. By the time they're five tell have been skating for years.
And boys too
when she said “how hard can it be” figure skaters everywhere all died 😂
I commend these people because i cant even skate normally, much less do any sort of tricks. Ive tried several times and it just doesnt come naturally
Nina M. No sport comes naturally it takes practice
Tominations some sports are easier for some than others though physically. My feet are slightly pigeon toed and have fallen arches so the motion of skating is more difficult for me than for someone with normal feet. So i guess by naturally i mean predisposed to perform better in certain aspects of physical activity
Nina M. Still it doesnt come naturally.. It may be easier for some but it still takes practice
Come to my channel! I'll teach you! I've taught toddlers through 30 year olds! You can do it ;)
Nina M. I wouldn’t make it across the rink...I’ll stick to playing guitar.😜go Chen!
I like how the one who did the best is the one who fell the most. I think that’s good to remember
A lesson to be learned.
I cant even skate on ice normally without holding on to a wall.
Me Too! lol, #Clingingtothewallcrew
JIMINNN SORRY hahaha
taekmyhand same
Rebekah Bratcher yes that makes everything better lol 😂
taekmyhand practice makes perfect😊
“How hard can it be”
Famous last words before disaster strikes
I hate when people are like this lady "how hard can it be" for us, figure skaters, skating is our life and we dedicate it so much. So much bruises, hours, money, passion, pride, effort and we do it just to one day see our family in the audience watching us perform and being proud of us and then we feel like all of this time was really worth it. So don't be like "oh this looks simple I could probably do it too." because it's hard as heck and when I hear something like that I feel really insulted. You need to really love this sport to do it, being able to skate forward doesn't mean you'll do good as a figure skater.
i relate a lot to this as a former solo competitor myself. ❤️❤️❤️ this is so very true.
Yes! Totally agree with you ❤️
This applies to every sport and passion. Just gotta get use to it.
Ikr
I respect what you do and what you’re trying to do but everyone has said that about any one thing at one point or another, or at least thought about it. Piano? How hard could it be? Motorcycle riding. Easy, right? Cooking. Anybody can cook. Figure skating DOES look easy because figure skaters make it LOOK easy. I wouldn’t feel offended.
that lady *Kristi Yamaguchi* is so gorgeous tho.
Kung-Fu Kenny Family uhhh she's like 40
Inb4 triggered femis yelling at you.
The Try guys need to learn to ice skate!!!
C.HLO.E Yep...still waiting on this 😉
Yes!
LOL that's why I clicked on this video - I thought it was the try guys. They already did a ballet video I need them to do figure skating!
Yees
Okay but all of them were at a disadvantage in those rentals. They have the added stability of wet tissue paper
I’m a figure skating and I learned to skate in rentals 🤷♂️ I didn’t get proper skates until I was doing waltz jumps. And actually, their rentals are way better than the ones i wore! I had those horrible hard plastic ones most days. It’s a disadvantage yes, but not by much. When learning I actually found rentals easier as I didn’t have to worry about tripping on the toe pick so much or having blades that gripped the ice too much. Plus I mean, what else are they meant to wear? Proper skates are only an advantage if they fit, and they aren’t going to spend two hundred dollars each on skates for one video.
"How hard can it be?"
*stood there freezing for 3 minutes*
Lolol mad respect for the editors for lowkey roasting that fitness instructor with her own words XD I'm dying
“How hard can it be?”
Gurl, doing ice sports are *extremely* different than land sports
I hope that lady was kidding when she said how hard can it be. How dismissive.
i actually met kristi yamaguchi in elementary school and got a signed version of her book she wrote :)
tiffanyxngo i’m jealous!!
Omg! Truly jealous !!
**whispers** *ima be the best pork cutlet bowl EVER*
*whispers back* We were born to ship Victuuri
Misaki M GET OUT
NOOOO😂❤️
Misaki M I thought I had finally found a figure skating video where the anime fans hadn’t invaded yet.
Notcool All of them have been infected with the Yuri!!!Decease
Why shouldn't you tell jokes while ice-skating?
Because the ice might crack up!
Chivas Aurora lol haha
go. home.
Aurora Meiesna that's a great icebreaker
This comment is... beautiful
"how hard can it be?"
I had to practice camel spin..
FOR A MONTH. TO GET MY LEG TO BE PARALLEL TO THE GROUND.
there is still a slight downward
*"I feel like I'm gonna be good at this"* **barely even manages to move on the ice**
Kristi is still amazing talent.
Being a figure skater im giggling at how they dont know how do figure skate but i remembered i was there too
Ty I can barely skate at a normal pace. It's either the speed of light or literally walking. Let alone figure skate
Victoria Duval you'll get there soon trust me, you could get better than me
Ty I just started figure skating a little over a month ago, and I started doing the toe loop like two days ago oop. I've got a longgg way to go. 😂
PLEASE make them compete against the little Angels of Plushenko, I would pay to see that😂😂😂
Yesssss!! 3 years late, but now the Zhilina sisters are with Plush and Veronika is doing 3 axel, 4 toe, 4 lutz, 4 sal. Aliona is doing 3 axel. (They are 11(A) and 12(V))
the try guys should have done this
Chub Nugget my thoughts exactly 😂😂
“How hard can it be?” (People who ice skate) “BAHA” 😂
“I like sparkles... don’t tell anybody”
honestly an icon
I love that the girl who said how hard can it be did the worse 😂
Y A M A G U C H I
Y’all are just Haikyuu trash...
Wait...so am I
"how hard can it be?" chuckles* you where doomed from the start.😂
* Ross voice * PIVOT!
Mel X hahaha yaaaaaas!!
Mel X PIVOOOTTT
I love Kristi Yamaguchi! She’s so nice.😊
Kristi was the first PERSON I remember watching ice skate. It always looked so elegant. I went ice-skating one-time 15 years ago. I've been wanting to start doing it constantly. I purchase my own skates and have went skating 3 times. My main goal is to just get comfortable skating regularly. If I can get to Kristi's level, that'd be great 😊.
OMG KRISTI YAMAGUCHI IS MY FAVORITE SKATER! SHE’S MY INSPIRATION! I’ve just started skating classes just a few months ago, and I absolutely LOVE IT! I would love to have Kristi coach me one day. That’d be so cool!
Girl:how hard can it be?
Every figure skater: Lol so cute
They are much braver than I for sure. I really don't need a broken hip.
This is fun to watch...it's pretty clear that "it" ain't so easy. I've always loved Kristi! So awesome!!
I really liked this video but I would like to see a video where people would try to learn it in a month to see the progress. ;)
Eve Weide me too!
"How hard can it be?"
*oh darling you be known*
"I'm a fitness instructor so I'm going to be good at this. How hard can it be?" (Fails miserably) Uhm lifting weights and jogging IS NOT figure skating! Lol
"How hard can it be?"
Famous last words.
I have been waiting for this for so long
Kristi is such a sweetheart!!!!!!
I had an ice skating teacher always trying to show off and he started every lesson doing fancy stops 5 cm away from us and one time he just rammed into me
This was so much fun to watch after getting back from the hour-long pain and suffering that is power skating/stroking class X3
“How hard can it be?” 😂pretty damn hard. I’ve only been skating for two years and my knees and ankles are already covered with scars from it.
This was amazing! I've always been interested in Figure skating. :)
Shadow Lights join!
You can never be too old to start, it's a super rewarding sport
You should definitely try it out!!
Me: "Don't worry. I've watched ALL of Yuri on Ice."
Also me: (immediately runs into a wall and splits my head open) "I'm okay! ......No I'm not. Someone call an ambulance..."
OMGGGG this is my new favorite video by buzzfeed since I am a huge skating nerd!!!
Omg that you for doing a figure skating video!!🙌⛸💞
No mention of Kristi winning Dancing With The Stars season 6?
I love all your video's
These ppl should be grateful that Kristi Yamaguchi even considered sharing the air with them. It's Kristi's world and we're just living in it
Yay that was awesome! More people should try out skating! It's sooooo fun! :)
When you watch Yuri On Ice and think you can do anything
NO EUGINE?!? What has this world come to?!?
Kristi!!!! I love her. She was my girl back in the 90's!! I loved watching her skate!
Omg! Once I saw the title, I screamed and I immediately clicked on it! Figure Skating is my most fav sport, so I knew I was going to enjoy this video.
0:17
*haikyuu flashbacks*
3:25 Umm never say that about a sport you’ve never tried lmaoaoaoao
I love it! Kristi is so much fun!
"I honestly feel like I'm not gonna be that bad." *gets on the ice, is wobbly*
Figure skater: wow so basic I am on doubles
Everyone Else: how can you do a waltz jump
these words coming from a girl who did competitive solo figure skating for four years after training for four years: you will not be a good skater based on other things. it’s very different from most sports because the entire concept is balance. honestly i was aggravated with the girl in this video. she was cocky beyond normal confidence and assumed that her other skill sets translated. off ice training would’ve been better for her, but her cockiness put her in immediate danger, even though it was just a mindset. meanwhile, rainbow shirt guy put everything he had into the session which is exactly what you should be doing as a figure skater or someone just skating for fun. it doesn’t matter how good you are if you don’t put in any personality. that won’t let you win.
Claire K Actually, I'm a figure skater coming from years of experience in riding horses. I've been skating for a little over a month and have started jumping, and even playing with jump transitions. I can confirm that the muscles and balance you develop in riding will 100% help on the ice. You use the same muscles; your core, legs, and constant squaring of the shoulders (sticking your chest out.) As well as having a feel for the pressure you put into the ice.
“How hard could it be?”
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I needed this giggle!!
as a figure skater i was hoping the girl that thought it was easy would fail miserably.
I can't even stand on roller skates, now this...
~ *Hello darkness my old friend*
Don't worry, roller skating is much harder. I've been practicing three turns in roller skates for a year and still couldn't do it well but I'm doing single jumps on ice after one month.
Love your videos
I love how the guy in the rainbow shirt is not afraid to fall, and he does better than the others. 😁 Just shows that I’ve gotta get over my fear of falling on the ice to progress faster 😂
KRISTI YAMAGUCHI, TAKE ME AWAY!
I Lovvvvvveee Kristi.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOREVER
I love this so much!😂
"how hard can it be?"
cuts to her doing the 'pivot' 🤦🏻♀️
Never have clicked soo fast
*"I like the sparkles... Don't tell anybody"* 😂😂
”I like the sparkles..don’t tell anyone” 😂😂😂😂
My mom used to tell me I was a natural athlete
She lied.
*laugh cries*
Vince gill
Music videos- country music
How hard could it be?
Just cuz you work out all the time doesn’t mean ur gonna automatically be good at ice skating ...
The woman in blue is hilarious and super cute!! Her bunny hop was adorable and she looked miserably cold and ready to go, yet had some fun with it!!❤
YOU GUYS FINALLY DID IT
im a figure skater and when they said ”how hard can it be” i thought they had another thing coming
we were born to make history!!!
nobody? okay...
Maya Was Here I FOUND ONE OF MY KIND
Yuri
Maya Was Here get out
Maya Was Here no no let's not being the fandom here ppl already hate us
NOOOOO 😂❤️
KRISTIIII
As a dancer, I have so much respect for figure skaters because they are going so fast, trying to portray emotion, trying to balance and land jumps while being graceful. I have never been good at skating, but then again I haven’t practiced much but I think figure skating is beautiful.
I find figure skating quite hard honestly, I have a lot of respect for those athletes.
