Love this! I'm trying to convince my husband that this is a worthwhile investment for me. I used to love figure skating! I never did it competitively, but used to just go all the time. Now I want to take lessons as an adult (38) and bring our daughter (7) and let her live my dream out. :D I love that you did this.
Do it! Ice skating makes me feel like a princess! And we deserve to feel like princesses!
Any investment in your self is a worthwhile investment. You shouldn't have to convince your husband of that.
That's a great story, thank for sharing!
I'm a beginner as well and I could literally hear the coach shouting 'bend your knees!' while watching the first 9 months. 😂That knees part is my biggest trouble.
That backward thing at the very end of the video (I don't know how it's called in English) is just amazing!
thank you! I believe you mean the backwards power pulls and they're something I'm quite proud of haha :D I wanted to learn them so badly.
Good luck on your figure skating journey! Let me know if you ever upload a progress video :)
I’ve watched videos of people ice skating and when they spin they have their arms out only at the beginning and then they quickly hug themselves and bring their arms in which makes them spin fast and fuller. Hope that helps
First you need to learn how to spin without crossing your arm, just to practice your balance. And only when you are comfortable enough with your arms out you start crossing them. Because it makes spinning way more faster and without a good balance you will just fall
This is some absolutely amazing progress!!!
I don't know How far you've come with your spins now but with the speed of your progress I expect it's going quite well. A bit of a tip when spinning is to really get that Sharp turn into the spin and everything else honestly looks amazing😍
thank you so much! Spinning still is a source of frustration still, but I'm hoping to get there eventually! :)
@@kelaex You already look great on your way!
Great work!! Love your dedication
This video was so inspiring. Your progress is amazing.
Really impressive progress. Keep it up!
Well done🎉 I think you’ve done an amazing job with your learning journey so far!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I sure did ask for this when I typed the question "how to skate" in. I want to start soon and I now have some more motivation. Thank You!
I think your trying alone is Perfect!
Du kannst echt stolz auf dich sein! Richtig schön, dass du trotz Lockdown und der ganzen Umzüge nicht aufgegeben hast. Ich finde man sieht schon nach 6 Monaten voll den Fortschritt 😍 Freu mich jetzt schon auf das nächste Progressvideo!!
danke dir
Awesome, you are inspired me❤ Great video, I enjoy it very much😊
proud!! 🚀
YOU are doing so good a tip for the toeloop is try turning on your left inside edge instead so you dont neeed to switch feet.
Great progress! Keep it up - I'm sure you'll progress faster now the pandemic is (hopefully) over!
thank you! I hope so - but if the ice rinks are open, nothing shall stop me :D
I know that first rink you were skating at! Im 99% sure! Keep it up, you're doing amazing!
Whoah such bad luck with lockdowns !
For me as much as I can’t skate as often as I want I’m kinda proud, I’ve been skating since less than a year and I can do pretty much all the single jumps (except the axel). But I still struggle with the most basic spins 😢
Can’t imagine how it must have been to go through all the lockdowns, it certainly restrained your progression.
I am really hoping to have more ice time this coming season! I'll hopefully post an update video at some point :)
You should be proud, you're doing great!
Ugh. I'm struggling with spins too! Keep up the good work.
thank you! good luck with your spins, too!
Spins will be extra difficult if your standing leg is bent! Once you finish you entrance edge, pull up!!
You’ll get there!
I've been working on them with a coach and they've already gotten better! Still a few things left to figure out though :D but I'll keep practicing!
Good job. keep going..
Your loop is great! The key to spinning is to get your free leg around squarely in front of you before you pick up too much centrifugal force before you develop the muscles to do it without thought.
yeah, my leg is too far out the side! still struggling with this unfortunately :(
It`s large motivation!
That was inspiring 😊
Wunderbar und sehr inspirativ!
danke!
5:52 what a beautiful mohawk move!
thank you! I actually didn't come up with it, I found it on @coachhamish Instagram page :)
Hab mich mitten im Video gefragt warum die Halle mir so bekannt vorkam.....bis ich bemerkt hab, dass es genau die Eishalle bei mir in der Nähe ist und in die ich auch gehen wollte! ^^ Das gibt mir jetzt irgendwie noch mehr Mut anzufangen! Als 25 Jährige hab ich mich immer ein bisschen zu alt dafür gefühlt. Zwar ist es jetzt etwas zu spät um anzufangen aber nächste Saison trau ich mich mal aufs Eis :D
you should do a one year progress now :)
i'll do it by the end of the season :) expect it around the beginning of April sometime
@@kelaex yay! 💜
@@kelaex it’s april ! ❤❤
@@phoebeex life got in the way! working on it :)
@@kelaex looking forward to it 💕💕
As a Defense Man I have to share this story. I Skate faster Backwards and have no problem checking on the boards. My Mom asked me to try Figure Skating and it is fun and Tactical. I met my wife learning the figure eight. All I am saying is simple. A skill you can use to visually piss off the Frenchey!
Thank you for sharing your story!! I wanted to ask about the wrist guards you’re wearing in the video - do you have any recommendations?
Great job!!!!
not me in the first month of learning how to skate trying to do the waltz jump and mohawk combo lmfao
That's great !! But I noticed how much the Drag Pick was causing you to trip or fall... so we grinded off the Pick to make learning and practicing faster. She doesn't need it or use it for anything anyway. She will use the Pick when it comes time for Jumping, if ever. She's not to crazy about Jumps and Spinning Jumps... just likes Figure Skating without those.
Richtig gute Fortschritt!!!!
Danke! :)
Thanks for sharing this and its really inspiring to know that one day I can also become like this. I’m a beginner who started last November as an adult, and my moves are awkward at the start too. Can you also share the model of the new pair of skates you bought? I also bought mine from Decathlon but thought they did not have very good support at the ankles so intending to get another one
i have the risport electra light boots and the MK Galaxy blade
Thank you! :)
Your video is Amazing!
Are your inlines and ice skates the same pair of shoes?
4:12
I'm tempted to go to a parking lot but I'm afraid I'd get yelled at by security or sth... seeing that you're in the same country and don't have the problem maybe I should try that some time this winter.
it really depends on the parking lot, I think. Outdoor ones are usually less guarded than indoor ones, but you can always try your luck. My tip is to not go alone if you can - feels a lot better to have someone and is a bit safer :p
😍😍😍
This was very interesting. I loved seeing the progression. Where did you get your in-line skates?
thank you! I got the boots on Facebook (second hand, but I only recommend this when you already got fitted and know the brand and exact size) and I got the frames at a local skate shop.
I wanna start it too💕 should i buy quad or inline ? In winter i will start ice 💕
Loving this! At what point do you decide that you're getting professional skates? Is it when you started learning jumps?
pretty much! I think it's something you should do early on if you're serious about learning the sport. Proper skates make all the difference!
Would you recommend inlines or quads for doing tricks?
Hi, thank you for posting your journey, how often did you practice when you first learn how to ice skate? thanks!
my first months, I went once or twice a week. after that, it gets a bit complicated, because there were lockdowns and restrictions so I barely got to go. My second season, when everything was open again, I went quite often, three times a week, I think.
Hab dieses Video mega gern geschaut😍 Du hast tolle Fortschritte gmeacht! Bin gespannt wies wird ohne Pandemie, die dazwischen funkt🥰 Lg figureskatingalex
Danke dir 🥺
When you are going into your spin suck your belly button in as close to your spine as possible, press the crown of your head through the roof, and try to center your weight on your skating/spinning leg. If you are traveling across the ice while spinning you are not centering your weight. Keep working hard, so jealous that you have some jumping down already.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
sollte man eher mit inlinern oder rollerskates im sommer trainieren?
I need to know more! Did you learn more? Did you train more?! What happened? haha
i'll upload the update once the season ends :) it should be out in the beginning of April
so if you're still interested, year three progress is up :)
For me it’s the opposite, Spins are very easy for me but jumps are like so hard
you can do it! I found jumps so scary in the beginning too
Richtig guter Fortschritt*
danke!
Die Eishalle am Bruchweg kenn ich doch xD
Trainierst du beim MEC oder der iceacademy?
ice academy :)
@@kelaex Cool 😎 Ich hatte heute beim MEC mein erstes Probetraining. Bist du Sa/So auch öfters im Publikumslauf? Da sieht man immer so viele die üben. Ich bin der Typ der immer mit großen Augen allen auf die Füße starrt 😅
@@sporty.seb1 hahaha, also Sa/So weniger, eher unter der Woche, aber je nachdem... ist von Woche zu Woche unterschiedlich.
How many lessons/hours of lessons do you skate in a month?
hey :) it changes between summer and winter. in winter i take one group lesson a week and then a private every two to three weeks. in summer I don't train on ice because it's closed, but I do go to off ice training once a week.
What was frustrating about your first pair of skates?
I wasn't fitted, they were from Decathlon, so they were too big and I was sliding around in them. The blades were also really low quality and overall they were hindering my progress
@@kelaex thank you for the reply, I was thinking of getting the same skates since there are no skating shops in my country right now and I'm afraid to order online without fitting. Despite low quality, were blades curved enough to enable you spinning and execution of other simple elements?
@@hekoriginaljni6489 hmm, since I only had them for a short time I didn't get to one foot spins. I did learn my two foot spin on it but I didn't really have much of a rocker tbh, I felt my blades stopping me quite a bit. I think they were okay for getting me into skating but if you already know you want to pursue it, I wouldn't really recommend them as I switched after about three months.
Easy
Why do you move so much?
i'm not doing it anymore, it was just the circumstances. but now I'm still in the same place I moved to over two years ago!
Love it. I’ve just started with inlines a month ago and while looking at the elite skaters is easy to forget how long but exciting the process is ❤ Keep it, queen 🛼
