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.

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!

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😍

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

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!!

Great work!! Love your dedication

This video was so inspiring. Your progress is amazing.

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!

Really impressive progress. Keep it up!

I think your trying alone is Perfect!

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.

proud!! 🚀

Awesome, you are inspired me❤ Great video, I enjoy it very much😊

Great progress! Keep it up - I'm sure you'll progress faster now the pandemic is (hopefully) over!

Spins will be extra difficult if your standing leg is bent! Once you finish you entrance edge, pull up!! You’ll get there!

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.

I know that first rink you were skating at! Im 99% sure! Keep it up, you're doing amazing!

Ugh. I'm struggling with spins too! Keep up the good work.

Wunderbar und sehr inspirativ!

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.

Good job. keep going..

That was inspiring 😊

😍😍😍

Great job!!!!

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?

5:52 what a beautiful mohawk move!

This was very interesting. I loved seeing the progression. Where did you get your in-line skates?

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

Richtig gute Fortschritt!!!!

Loving this! At what point do you decide that you're getting professional skates? Is it when you started learning jumps?

Would you recommend inlines or quads for doing tricks?

Your video is Amazing! Are your inlines and ice skates the same pair of shoes? 4:12

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.

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

you should do a one year progress now :)

I wanna start it too💕 should i buy quad or inline ? In winter i will start ice 💕

not me in the first month of learning how to skate trying to do the waltz jump and mohawk combo lmfao

Hi, thank you for posting your journey, how often did you practice when you first learn how to ice skate? thanks!

sollte man eher mit inlinern oder rollerskates im sommer trainieren?

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

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.

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.

Hab dieses Video mega gern geschaut😍 Du hast tolle Fortschritte gmeacht! Bin gespannt wies wird ohne Pandemie, die dazwischen funkt🥰 Lg figureskatingalex

Die Eishalle am Bruchweg kenn ich doch xD Trainierst du beim MEC oder der iceacademy?

For me it’s the opposite, Spins are very easy for me but jumps are like so hard

I need to know more! Did you learn more? Did you train more?! What happened? haha

How many lessons/hours of lessons do you skate in a month?

What was frustrating about your first pair of skates?

Richtig guter Fortschritt*

Easy

Why do you move so much?

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 🛼
