Hello! I am so excited that my Off Ice Skates have finally arrived!! I am going to turn this into a little series, so that you can follow along my off ice skating journey - to clarify, I am a figure Skater and a figure skating coach. So my goal would be to get all of my double jumps off ice!

I love that so many of you are following me on my Skating Journey! Hopefully we'll be back on the Ice soon but in the mean time I have made a playlist of all of my skating videos for you to enjoy! My hope is to post at least 1 skating video a month (maybe 2) hehe: kzfaq.info/sun/PLMOAprdJzJ6KjcX97SOEFOS3ETSNAmYRa

Thank you for sharing your first inline figure skating experience. Please consider wearing some body padding and head protection because falling on concrete is more dangerous than falling on ice.

I looooooved this video!!! I also got my off ice skates this week and im wearing them all the time. Same for me, I dont have any protections yet and skating on concrete is soooo scary hahahahaah so for now im just walking around doing simple moves. I wish you could film more videos of which moves are you doing first so I can follow you ❤. Also the feeling of skate after so long makes me so happy!!!! Thank you for your channel.

I am thinking about getting the Off Ice frame set, and I am just worried about the stopper wearing down. Does that happen? And if it does how long until you would need to change it?

@SuperSymo 3 жыл бұрын

I think this is totally down to usage and surface. And they will need replaced. but from what i've seen online they literally wear away to the point where the rubber is ver close to the mental and then you change them. But basically the more you use them on a ruffer surface, the sooner i think you will need to change them

Hi! Thanks for also putting in the footage of you mounting the off-ice skates. Bit of a long shot that you'll see this but I haven't seen anywhere with this information so here goes - did you have to drill new holes into your boots to mount the off-ice skates, or did they fit into your skate blade holes?

I used to ice skate like ten years ago and no longer remember how to do it at all. There isn't a rink around where I live, and I was considering buying these instead, but I'm wondering, are they hard to use for someone who basically has no knowledge of ice skating or is it only for people who skate regularly and want a means of practicing on ground? Please let me know, I really am thinking about getting these but I don't know if they'd be a good match for someone basically completely re-learning how to skate...

@SuperSymo 3 жыл бұрын

I think they would be a great option for you! Just before ordering, if you are planning on skating outside, find an area near you that smooth and flat. as long as you have somewhere like that, it would be great!

How different is it? I’m starting ice and roller skating (had a few goes at each in the last few weeks) but I want to learn ice skating properly/take lessons. Would practicing on land help with ice techniques (especially edges, but I know they both have a different concept). But I’m interested in can I do both or will it hinder my progress?

I alleays thought ice skating was pretty easy, but then I tried rollerblades and it was easy too, but then si tried rollerskates and I think it was super hard because I just keept falling backwards, Even I practised I felt I had no controll at all and it was to dangerous for me, I almost wondered if the scates was too big, because it was so much harder, anyways I wonder if these skates Are hard to be standing on? I am not professional

Hi!! I had lessons for a few years (enough to know a few jumps) but had to stop because they didn’t allow figure skaters anymore. I found about these and I really want them but I don’t know where to buy ones that have four wheels (all the ones I see have three wheels I mean unless there’s no difference? Four wheels just look nicer in my opinion) can you please tell me what website you got these from? ❤️❤️

Okay so this probably sounds like an idiotic question, but I finally got my off-ice skates a few weeks ago and how do you stop?! It seems like every option you have on ice would chew up the wheels (aside maybe from a hockey stop but I fell spectacularly trying that!) Any thoughts welcome: these seem pretty great aside from that.

@SuperSymo 3 жыл бұрын

I personally find a T stop and a toe drag to be the easiest. I think some wear and tear on your wheels is expected, but from what i've been told, finding a smooth surface is your best bet for keeping your wheels for longer

@scaughie 3 жыл бұрын

@@SuperSymo Okay cool - T-stop is my preferred stop, it just seemed all wrong to do it on wheels. I was experimenting w the toe "pick" which works if I'm going slowly enough, but I wouldn't use that at any kind of speed! And at the moment, I'm using them on a basketball/tennis court so smoother than a parking lot but it will wear them down. Anyway, thanks for the quick answer!

It is not fair that we have to practice our beautiful sport in parking l. Pubs opened, but no ice rinks. Our needs are not taken into account. Im so angry. 5 months without training on the ice. We lost our entire competotion session, BIS fees are not repaying.

@SuperSymo 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah i relicensed as a coach in March, and haven't been able to coach (so thats a big waste of money). Competition fees haven't been refunded as the hope is that they can reschedule. My Home rink may not be open until next year. Roller skates will do not now - I'm very thankful i have them, but its not the same xx

@petsitter78 3 жыл бұрын

Have you contacted with Bis about this case ? Closed ice rinks mean wasted years of training and lack of work for many coaches. Young athletes have to go to the bars and drink beer or eat meals for half free, this is supposed to be the future for young people ??? I'm so mad. It's just about money. Ice rinks don't make that much profit as , pubs. Nobody cares about as. Our efforts, our money, who cares....
