Yes i love the way u explained this! I am also a figure skater and this is REAL ACCURATE!! But yes, going to far back will make u fall and same with the front. And i love how u knew what u were talking abt. Ur amazing, keep the work up!❤❤
Thank you! I’ve been struggling with my turns and spins and this really helped, I actually was thinking about this when I saw one of your videos before this!
The rocker part on an ice skate is kinda like going on relevé in dance, I’m guessing you cannot turn well with the whole blade on the ice, same way with you can’t turn very well in dance on flat feet.
try squeezing everything together and pressing your elbows to your chest when you pull in. if that's not working pull your arms down, like girl's basketball screen to a boy's
When u start learning spins dint worry about this part usually it just comes naturally whenever u do it so if u keep thinking abt this u will end up going on ur toe pick and falling so don’t think abt it u will spin on ur rocker without even trying
Omg thanks so much!! I am level 8 in ice skating and I entered the Winter Gala. I never rlly was good at one foot spins. Part of the routine is spinning. Thx soo much!!
I did rollerskating and yesterday I went ice skating for the first time and I was trying to do spins and waltz jumps and I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working. Got my answer for the spins at least!
You inspired me soo much! I will start figure skating i will have my first training i think 11.12 cant wait! And your videos are amazing and tutorials are the best i learned some tricks❤️Byeee
before i started skating i was so confused because i thought the blade would get caught on the ice but it's literally not possible to get the WHOLE blade on the ice anyway
I remember I was spinning on my toe pick because my rocker wasn’t at the ball of my foot but the thing is my skates were like a size and a half to big for me and I started learning double axels at the time so it was really hard for me to land😭✋
I've been learning to skate for about a year and half now but for some reason I still can't spin...maybe i'm not getting onto the rocker somehow? Idk. Hopefully one day!
blades on cheap skates are usually flatter which makes them harder to spin on and they usually have small toepicks which can make jumps difficult. expensive blades are also made out of a higher grade of steel than cheaper blades!
Hi! I’ve noticed that the rink you first started at is the rink I go to now. My very first lessons were at the rink you go to now. Is there a particular reason you switched? Which one do you like better?
Hey can u tell me how old are u I just started skating and i u told in one of ur videos that I started when u were 15 so I want to know how much time will take me to be in ur level🎀
Hiii so i have a question. Recently I've started figure skating and I'm doing great so far. I learnd couple of jumps and now I'm moving onto spins. And I've been trying and trying and trying...and i see progress but i can never get it to be perfect like yours. And when i saw this video i realised that my skates don't have a rocker. They do have a toepick but not a rocker so i was just wondering is that maybe the reason why my spins aren't working out? It could also be that my skates aren't sharpened...but i don't know. Is my missing rocker a problem. I would appreciate the answers, I'm this close to losing my mind over those spins.
You use your toepick for toe jumps (flip, lutz and toeloop), and for some step variations. Don’t be like my beginner friend I took ice skating with me who said it was made for stopping. I mean yeah you can use it to stop indeed. But be ready to kiss the ice.
So I definitely wanted to start skating and I was wondering if you knew any good places to buy the skates or get them fitted just for me. My father said we would have to get me some and he would take me a show me because he played ice hockey when he was my age and is very good at skating.
Those are amazing spins but how come you aren't crossing your feet I'm not asking to be mean by any means and I understand but I'm genuinely just curious but keep skating and doing what makes you happy and you are amazing ❤❤
Girl no the way blades work is there are 3 sides the left blade right blade and middle blade the part you spin on you are just justifying your crappy spin so yeah
That actually makes so much sense! Cause the back of the blade literally won’t let you being flat!
My rink calls it the ball for your blade. Love ur progress!
Mine too!!
Same here!
i"m also a beginner figure skater and you are the whole reason i started figure skating-love your videos:)
This helped me so much thank you

I just went skating today! I loved it so much I want to learn how to figure skate but there is no ice skating rinks near me 😢
That was really helpful! Wish I saw the video before I went skating today
Thank youuu ❤
This was so damn helpful. Thanks!
thx so much, this helped me a lot because I always wanted to learn how to spin!😊

I am an ice scatter your scratch spin looking good !!!
This helped me so much cause when I try to spin it won’t spin so fast
try squeezing everything together and pressing your elbows to your chest when you pull in. if that's not working pull your arms down, like girl's basketball screen to a boy's
When she spin 😍

Your sweet spot ✨
Can you do a video on how to spin mainly 2 foot spins
Actually I’m going to my figure skate practice tomorrow!
what are some good figure skating shoes for men 16 im starting figure skating😅😊
I remember I was spinning on my toe pick because my rocker wasn’t at the ball of my foot but the thing is my skates were like a size and a half to big for me and I started learning double axels at the time so it was really hard for me to land😭✋
Yikes, one and a half sizes too big!?? You definitely gotta try a new skate fitter.
You post faster then i eat😂❤
Can you please do a tutorial on how to spin on one leg?? I cannot do it so can you please give us some tips??
Thank you🤍🤍🤍
I've been learning to skate for about a year and half now but for some reason I still can't spin...maybe i'm not getting onto the rocker somehow? Idk. Hopefully one day!
I literally find it so difficult to get on my rocker and not trip over my toe pick instead 😢
Can you do the same in hokey skates or does it have to be figure skates?!❤
There was this ine time i was just practicing and I accidentally spined really fast and yea i didnt fall and i remember i was really happy
What’s the name of your iceskate ? And the blade ? :)
Ya so we fly 😎
any tips for staying on the rocker? it might be that i haven't practiced it enough but id love some tips 😅
Do rental skates have that?
How long have you dont skating for??
2 years ❤️
Hi I have a burning question, how do you balance?
I just figured that out with my teacher
I’m looking for new skates and I wanted to ask what brand you use
What's the difference between cheap and expensive blades?
blades on cheap skates are usually flatter which makes them harder to spin on and they usually have small toepicks which can make jumps difficult. expensive blades are also made out of a higher grade of steel than cheaper blades!
Hi Sofia. I’m just wondering are you flexible like before starting skating because I want to learn it but I’m not flexible
Is there a rocker on hockey skates?
Hi! I’ve noticed that the rink you first started at is the rink I go to now. My very first lessons were at the rink you go to now. Is there a particular reason you switched? Which one do you like better?
i go to multiple different rinks! ❤️
@@sofiafigureskatesOkay, good to know!
I wanna become a figure skater, but I don’t know how to start out
She has a video on that!
Hey can u tell me how old are u I just started skating and i u told in one of ur videos that I started when u were 15 so I want to know how much time will take me to be in ur level🎀
I have trouble doing it like that I’m a figure skater😢
when u spin u r gonna stay in one spot when u spin ur blade is going in a sirkle its suppost to stay in one spot
I’m starting skating classes soon, do you have any recommendations/suggestions??

I would appreciate the answers, I'm this close to losing my mind over those spins.
What is the toepick meant for? Please explain.
The toepick is mostly made for jumps, When skaters are jumping they take off of their toepick and land on them too!
You use your toepick for toe jumps (flip, lutz and toeloop), and for some step variations. Don’t be like my beginner friend I took ice skating with me who said it was made for stopping. I mean yeah you can use it to stop indeed. But be ready to kiss the ice.
Some jumps require you to launch yourself off of the toepick
Wow that’s crazy but have you ever gotten hurt from figure skating? Because it a phobia of mine and by that I mean like really hurt like almost dying
Is going on the rocker a natural instinct or is it something to practice?
Yea fr, like when we spun as kids in the kitchen with our socks lol
So I definitely wanted to start skating and I was wondering if you knew any good places to buy the skates or get them fitted just for me. My father said we would have to get me some and he would take me a show me because he played ice hockey when he was my age and is very good at skating.
Anyone pls reply so I’m going to a skating place soon and was wondering if u can do a 1 leg spin without being on the rocker? Just wondering 😢
Those are amazing spins but how come you aren't crossing your feet I'm not asking to be mean by any means and I understand but I'm genuinely just curious but keep skating and doing what makes you happy and you are amazing ❤❤
Does this apply to two foot spins?
Yes
What happens if you spin on the hole blade
it's not really possible to spin on the whole blade if you're not on the rocker you will probably either just stop spinning or fall out of it
Your blade will get caught and you won’t move at all.
And stap
Girl no the way blades work is there are 3 sides the left blade right blade and middle blade the part you spin on you are just justifying your crappy spin so yeah
no babe you literally spin on the rocker… 😭💀
