Gosh, Im 28 and I just started skating, thinking that its already very late for me. But seeing that 50 year old skate so beautifully gave me hope. Thanks for this! ❤️
She's actually 61! You're never too old to learn to skate! You're welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you! This is so informative
You’re welcome!
I am a 50+ skater working on my pre-bronze test. Your videos have been a great help. Thanks!
I’m so glad! Thanks for watching and best of luck to you!
Thank you forvsharing yourvstudents progress very inspirational
You're welcome!
I love that you are making these videos for the testing. I just started skating in May. And I cannot wait to test. I’m not even close to that level yet but I’m like her I am on the rink about 4 to 5 times a week. So hopefully soon. They did a great job
I'm so glad that you like them! You'll get there!
Im so close to the pre-preliminary MIF test and it feels like its been FOREVER! I've been skating 1.5 yrs. I had six private lessons in my first 6 months. I'm thrilled to be going back to lessons in Oct. I'm on the ice at least 5 days a week, working on backward consec edges and 3 turns so I can get my waltz 8 and then I can test! Much luck to you. You can do it!
I may have mentioned that I am starting in Spring classes in April here in Toronto. As a kid I only ever skated in figure skates, and thought I was pretty good, and had no instruction or teacher, just made it up or watched skaters that could and had teachers. I am now 71 and have had a couple of sessions with a friend who taught with Skate Canada in Ottawa for 10 years. I am so keen to start and to find the posture, balance and to comprehend the edges so I can eventually become a confident and lyrical skater. Thanks for your videos and great content. I would have never guessed that you were over 40. I can see in your students just what a great coach you are, and your support for their accomplishments must really make them feel great.
Thank you for your kind words! Best of luck to you on your skating journey!
As soon as you said, Nice Posture, I sat up straight in my chair.
Lol! 😀
Way to go Monica!
She's amazing!
I got an email asking for feedback if I had seen this. I love this, having a real-time, visual example of what to see and expect in an adult arena...you guys make me want to get far enough to coach other adult skaters! I want a MONICA poster! Please continue to do what you do. And thanks for the MIF checklists. They really helped me see on paper what I should currently be focusing on most. Lord continue to bless you in your passion! 😉💜
A Monica poster!! 😀 she’s a great role model!
Good video 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Also...thanks to Shirley for reminding me that what I love most about this craft, is that you truly get out of skating exactly what you put it into it! See you ladies in Germany! 😉 😁
😃
How long would you say it usually takes on average to go from never skating to are ready to take the first test? Someone like Shirley who started a little bit later
It varies depending on how often you take lessons and practice. Also having athleticism from participating in other sports and the drive to succeed are factors. For some it can take several years. For others, like Shirley, it can take a few months. For the average skater in weekly lessons it can take 1-2 years.
Are aged 40 and above allowed to take "pre-preliminary moves in the field? (Pre-bronze...is this a test for adult only? And what age is considered "adult")
Also, when doing pre-preliminary moves or even pre-bronze moves, is it required to place the free foot in front of skating foot first before planting it to the back of heel then extend to get back to axis?--I ask because I see videos some skaters do and some don't
Yes, adult skaters 21 and older are permitted to take either Pre-Preliminary or Adult Pre-Bronze. Adult Pre-Bronze is for adults aged 21 and older only. For standard track skaters (under 21 years old), the Pre-Juvenille test will be renamed Pre-Bronze in July. However, it is different from Adult Pre-Bronze which is equivalent to standard track Pre-Preliminary with the additional move (Forward & Backward Crossovers). For your question about foot placement, I assume that you are asking about the Basic Consecutive Edges - Backward Inside and Backward Outside. Is that correct? If so, it is preferred that skaters lift their free foot in front before placing their toe to heel - the final extension is optional. I have other videos about the moves or skating skills tests that can help you here: ua-cam.com/play/PLhIvo-BmGcaWRsO7b28-4iRMnd_yzjkkg.html
@ thank you so much for your input and your dedication to these videos--they are alot of hard work ,time consuming too
You're very welcome! I appreciate you watching them! :)
Can you please go over the differences for 50+ moves in the field? Thank you
For adult 21+ candidates (adult intermediate through adult senior moves in the field tests) and Skate United candidates, the
candidate should show the same level of achievement as that of a standard candidate at one test level below. For adult 50+
candidates (adult intermediate through adult senior moves in the field tests), the candidate should show the same level of
achievement as that of a standard candidate at two test levels below. For adult 50+ candidates (adult bronze through adult
gold moves in the field tests), the candidate should show the same level of achievement as that of an adult 21+ candidate
at one test level below.
@ , thank you- that helps
@@melissadix2097 You're welcome, Melissa! It's from the rule book. I think it's intentionally vague so that judges can use their discretion.
This was so informative! Loved hearing your feedback and getting the results as we are watching them test. Can you let me know what the pros and cons are for either doing the pre preliminary or the pre bronze? As an adult under 40 is there any advantage or disadvantage to doing the pre preliminary over the pre bronze? Which testing track is better for a fit and very committed adult learner with lots of practice time?
I'm glad that you enjoyed it! You can actually test both Pre Bronze and Pre-Preliminary. I suggest that adults take the Pre-Bronze Moves test first. Then, once they get feedback they can take test Pre-Preliminary (if they wish to). The standard is higher for Pre-Pre, even as an adult. The reason that I suggest both tests is because Preliminary is actually a little easier than Bronze is. But, you can test both standard and adult track. Discuss it with your coach to find the best path for you.
@ thank you! She wants me to do pre-preliminary but the tests look very similar. She said the pre-pre track is harder. 🙈I will ask her about doing both. I guess it’s probably worthwhile to be able to compete in either category?
@@samestory4902 They are very similar, but the standard track has higher standards for passing. You can actually do the Adult Pre-Bronze and Pre-Pre on the same day as long as you pass the Pre-Bronze first. There was a skater that did that on the day this test was filmed!
@ oh I didn’t realize that was a possibility in some cases. Good to know- thank you! Looking forward to more of your content especially for us adult skaters. ☺️
@@samestory4902 you’re welcome!
Your students are good, I did basic artistic roller skating some years ago for 12 months and did figures too in my 40's..I have taken 7 months of basic ice skating lessons. Is figures again part of competitive skating ?? Do you give online lessons??
Thank you! These are not figures - they are moves in the field, which has since been renamed Skating Skills. These tests are required before taking singles free skate tests. I have more information on the evolution of figures to moves to skating skills here: ua-cam.com/video/0f-Lum4fPMM/v-deo.html
@ . Will figures that were used in the 80's and 90's be used in competitions and if a skater passes a novice moves in test at age 9 is she in the novice level? Why doesn't the US have a lot of novice skaters who are 8 and 9 years old like Russia? When the super talented kids from the U.S. are progressing and doing doubles and double axels at 6 and 7 years old and are juveniles they get stuck in that level until they are 10 and 11. Dasha Koval, Sofia Bezkorovainaya,Alexander Fagan from the Skating Club of NY, Alyssa Coats, Jessica Jurka,Skylar Lautowa all very gifted skaters and potential olympic level young children were stuck in the juvenile level until they were 10 to 11 years old. Before that they couldn't advance to intermediate or novice level competitions before they turn 10. I am wondering, why🤔? In Russia there are possibly 10 kids at least who are novices or more advanced when they are 9 since they do all their triples. I know their elite system works with them, I think if kids who are doing awesome in their skating show great jumps,skating skills, have olympic potential and place in the top 3 nationwide they should be moved 1 level up.. from juvenile to intermediates and intermediates to novices. It is a way of encouraging them to keep progressing and keep learning. What is your opinion about it?🤔
I do not give lessons online.
No, figures are not used in competitions - you should watch my other video: ua-cam.com/video/0f-Lum4fPMM/v-deo.html The system in the US is not state-sponsored or funded as it is in Russia. So, parents fund their own training and that is expensive and prohibitive for many!
@ . Why doesn't the USFSA let kids who end up in the top 3 national qualifying competitions move up from juveniles to intermediates and from intermediates to novices?? Can they be under 10 yrs old in those levels?
I wish I get over my fear of falling I'm 5'10 and it's long way down. My 14 yr old falls doing jumps all the time and just no big deal. I've got crossovers but can only one side backwards my brain just won't go the other way. Same with outside 3 turns it's just scary... How do you get yourself over that? Skating is such a mental sport it's like my body will do things but my brain just tells me no. I get so frustrated.
It just takes time and practice. Everyone has a dominate side. You have to work a little harder on the side that is non-dominate and try not to avoid doing things on that side. I struggled with that after I came back from shattering my ankle and you just have to make yourself do it, especially if you're uncomfortable.
@ thanks I do really need to fall a few times.. I do wear butt pads and have knee pads... I'm just pad up and go for it, and just fall a few times. I rarely ever fall and the few times I did I was totally fine so yeah gotta psych myself up and really just start working my scary side more. Thanks for the advise
Practice falling on purpose! Remember to grab your knees and fall to the side - not on your bum or knees. I'm not an advocate of knee pads because I find that they impede your knee bend.
