1. Reach for your knees when losing balance 2. Not like walking, start with knees up. Bend knees, push, together 3. Snow plow stop, Toes come in, weight in center
These are great tips for beginners! The tip about going for your knees was something I’d never thought about but it’s so smart, seen way too many people get hurt tackling someone else… 😂
Went ice skating tonight for the first time. Watched this video and did everything he said. Not only did I survive but I think I did pretty well. I guess I’m older and I probably won’t be as fluid as those who have skated since they were young but it was fun. Here are a few more takeaways I had and could be helpful to others: - having the correct size skates and lacing them up correctly is kind. Do that. Also, wear taller socks. Your feet will not hurt as much. - my skating skills started to suffer when I got tired. Take breaks often. Know when to quit. - when given the choice between hockey or figure, take figure. (My advice. Do you.) - wear a jacket or something with a little padding, especially on the elbows. - if you fall, and believe it or not I didn’t but a couple of times, let it happen. Just go limp. Protect your head. Lay there for a second.m and then get back up - one skate at a time. Thank you for this video. I will be watching more. Thank you!!
Thank you!!! And if I can give one more tip, don't put your hands out in front of you, and try to keep your body close together, especially in a crowded rink, as people might accidetly get on or close to your fingers, and ice scared are sharp
Today was my first day ice skating. I fell down about 396548 times. But at the end of day had a really good grasp of how to do it. It's reallllllyyyy funnnnnn
i have been roller skating since August and went for ice skating for the first time today! ice skating is very similar and very different from roller skating! incredibly difficult to push forward compared to roller skates. bending my knees same as in roller skating helped me massively to keep my balance and not to fall over. also, spinning is wayyyy easier in ice skates, so i really enjoyed doing that. i was that one weird person who can not properly skate but can nicely spin becausee of jam skating i am doing!
thanks! i'm a very... perfection oriented person, and i hate going into anything blind bc i dont want to look and feel stupid. this helped me not chicken out of going to get on the ice for the first time today
If the snowplow stop is very confusing for you, I also recommend looking at the T-stop. The snowplow stop is easier, especially to do on command of you need to stop quickly. But it's much harder to explain. Certain aspects come down to attempting the stop until you 'get it'. By comparison the T-stop is harder, but has steps for every part of it that are easy to explain. As someone with a very analytical brain, the clear steps made this stop easier to start with.
As a beginner, I definitely favor the T-stop. Snowplow stops scare me-I worry that instead of stopping my toes are just going to run into each other and I'll fall over.
My daughter has to participate in ice skating with her school's physical education program so I decided to get skates for the whole family. I hadn't skated for 30 years, but somehow it all came back to me and I had a joyous time skating laps on a frozen pond. Thank you for providing good beginner advice, especially the "hands to the knees" to help regain one's balance. This really helped my daughter stay up on her skates and take her first strides.
I had a WICKED EPIC dream last night where I was ice skating as quickly as heck! It was the COOLEST dream I've ever had! I wish I could actually skate that fast and very well.
Other tips could be: - try not to block your shoulders. I know it can be frightening at first, but the more you're relaxed, the more you're ready to do whatever is necessary on the ice (and trust me, panicking is not) - try to put your weight on your toes, so that in case you fall, you'll do it in front and not backward. In case you fall backward, use your glutes and not your head first ;) - if you feel like it's getting overwhelming for you, slow down and rest your legs and your head - never stop in front of the entry, unless you fall, because you never know who'll try to be a Rocketman next - if you go ice skating with someone else, it's probably easier because you'll get to chat along the way, but if you're by yourself and need help, just ask. The majority of the people there know how difficult it can be to skate for the first time, so they'll help you out with your skills or escort you to the exit - stay attentive to the other people around you. it's a bit like driving a car: you don't want to bump into someone else, especially if they're going relentlessly fast. and if you're gaining speed without it being your goal, slow down for the love of God! You can either use the method here or you can slowly use the borders of the rink to help you slow down. Another technique could be the L method, but be sure to have enough stability before attempting it
Went skating the other day, it was the first time in nine or ten years and I never really knew what I was doing back in the day, didn't properly tighten my laces so my skates went all over the shop and constantly made my ancles bend outwards. Going to try again in a couple of days, thanks for a confidence inspiring video!
I went to the Ice Rink with my friends today unfortunately I couldn't remember any of these tips except the knee thing as a result I kept- actually we kept falling down over and over it was really embarrassing but we had lot of fun 😂
I love ice skating and this year wanna improve my own skills a bit more and teach my youngest how to skate. So these were great tip and wonderfully funny presented, thank you! 😀❤
I "stumbled" across this video looking for the proper way to fall. I'm a 61 year old Canadian so I've been skating forever but last year around this time I fell and broke my wrist. In a cast for all of January. I want to get back out this winter skating with my daughter but I thought I'd better be prepared this year. It's not that I'm afraid of falling ... it's the LANDING 🤣🤣🤣🤣Cheers Coach!
I learnt to skate as an adult, and as a result I'm very tense and worried about falling - I got a full set of pads including wrist guards with a metal support. Wearing them has made me so much more relaxed and confident that I haven't actually fallen in them 😂
When I first got on the ice like a year ago. I had no idea how to ice skate and just walked on the ice which made me fall like 8 times. Maybe even 12. But I started training more after the winter season with roller blades. Sort of figuring out my balance. And this year when I got on the ice like a day ago and i had more stabilisation, but I still fell, which again hurt, but everything has its time. And I really wanted to learn and I'm gonna try this tutorial. Thank you ❤
Oh my funny story is coming! I’m a 38 year old mother who’s about to ice skate for the FIRST TIME EVER! I’m surprising my 11 year old with a mom/son skate night and I will give you a great story soon! Love these tips though! I will admit I have a little more confidence since watching this! Thank you!
today I went ice skating for the first time and in two hours ive learnt how to run with speed without using the holder, ive learnt cross steps, and how to stop, this video helped me
When I went ice skating for the first time I didn't tighten my skates well, and my ankle was going waaaay too much in. So then I had a wound from all of the friction between the ice skate and my ankle
When my friends invited me and my siblings to ice skate with them, I didn't know how, it was my first time! But it was like everyone's 3rd and 4th time and I didn't wanna look weird😟So i searched up beginning tips and I watched this vid the NIGHT BEFORE!!! It worked well! I got skates that were similar to the ones here that the guy was recommending, and the ice at first was terrrifffyying. Like, feeling like ur hovering right over the slippery ocean, terrifying. But I held onto the wall at first, and skated slowly, then let go of the wall skating slowly, then fast, then REALLY FAST. And by the end, I was teaching my sister how to let go of the wall and this was her 2nd time skating!!!💗💗💗Now, you will fall your first few times. Yes, I got the hang of it quickly, but that doesn't mean that I didn't fall, I fell like 4-5 times, but my friends fell too and they were experienced!! Everyone falls! The first step is to accept that mistakes are going to be made, as it is the ice after all, but the 2nd step is to want to improve :) Everytime I fell, I got up quickly and recalled these tips in my head, and I ended up having a fun time and ended the session with a sore butt, cold face and hands, but a want to get back out on the ice again!❤😂😂
I roller skate and honestly the rules are the same I’m going ice skating with my friends tomorrow so I’m just hoping that it’s the same idea and concept
Not a funny story but my first-time skating was a few years ago and I was 10 I believe and by the member of staff they said I was the fastest and best person on the ice and that is what's been driving me to go back and I'm going back tomorrow! it's been a few years so it will be like relearning it all again also, I don't recommend the snowplow stop as it can make you trip forward if you're not careful i would recommend the T stop best its where you basically skate with one foot and drag the other foot behind you facing away from your side. Edit: I went again for first time in years and i was really good better than i though i pick up the pace a bit and went really fast was fun. Lol and im going AGAIN! In 2 days Merry Christmas everyone!
The thumbnail shocked me so hard, it looked like you were using the back end of your skate like a second toe pick and skipping like Broadway dancer doing jazz hands. I thought both, "Oh lord please don't," and also, "That's so cool, how do you do it." But the whole tutorial is both educational and amusing. I'm not sure if my first time skating was typical, but I was around 6 or 7, and my babysitter just told me, "Whatever you do, just do not hold onto the wall. You'll never learn if you do," and skated off. So I just... Skated. Had a blast. Don't remember much else until my babysitter's friend came and collected me in hurry awhile latter. Turns out one of my older sisters caught her pick in a deep groove and split her chin open. Needed 9 stitches. I was just grumpy I had to leave. I actually never fell on the ice until I was 28 when a small child zooming backwards barrelled into me while I was practicing crossovers. Tiny death traps... :)
As a beginner I decided to ice skate without watching this video. I almost fell many times then when I'm done I watched this video and I'll remember what I need to do on my 2nd time. Overall ice skating is really fun and I had a good time.
Its really difficult to tie rentals too tight, but the skates should not hurt and absolutely should not make your feet numb or tingly. If it hurts or make your feet tingly the, take your skates off and retie with that area looser. If its a peircing pain then perhaps something protecting your skin from that side of the skate will help or a newer skate if that one's padding has worn down to nothing. If its pressing on one part of your foot, then really loosening that section will be the best you can do. If that doesnt work you may need different size or brand with a shape that better matches your feet. If its tingly its probably cutting off blood circulation. Whereever the tingling starts is too tight. If your feet are going numb, take the skates off IMMEDIATELY. The skates are likely pinching a nerve which can lead to perminent damage if prolonged. There is an exposed nerve under the inside of your ankle, when retying make sure that area isnt under heavy pressure.
So what if you tie your skates as tight as they can go but you still have room for your ankles to roll outward/inward while on the ice? ( the size for the skates are correct just in case that makes a difference)
@@Archer_Starling You shouldnt be able to fit 3 fingers between your skin and skate. If you cant get them that tight, then theyre likely a bit too big. At least on the ankle area
First time ice skating with friends yesterday. Wish I had seen this video sooner ahah. Managed to not fall (apparently I have a knack for reaching for my knees xD), but also almost didn't let go of the barrier until the last 15 min of my 1 hour stay. I'll make sure to try these tips next time!
These tips are really helpful for beginners I really thank you for sharing this information because the last time I went ice skating I was really embarrassed I kept falling
Thanks for the tips! Just went for the first time ice skating yesterday ( women's day special) and yeah fell abt 7 times ..but gave me confidence ..im gonna go again 😉
I am about to go ice skating for the first time in my life with my girlfriend I am 19 years old and am convinced that this video will help me be a pro!
I wish i've seen this video before going ice skating😔 I've been using the barrier to stop all times i went ice skating, and it's been working really well. When going for the barrier, i put my arms foward so my stomach doesn't just go straight into the edge, and it worked perfectly (i honestly tought there was no other way), but this video helepd alot
Me watching after falling multiple times yesterday but in the end I was doing what he said and I managed some laps without falling and I know I'll do better next time.
i went ice skating today with my big sis and i used the penguin the whole time andwhen we left i got a tiny bit done and this is the tips ill use next time thanks ice coach!😁
Wish I found this video when I first tried ice-skating. I fell flat on my ass three times and thankfully didn’t get hurt but it did ruin my experience a little. There wasn’t really anyone who could give me clear instructions on what to do and what not to do because most of my friends were mostly amateurs so the falling was somewhat expected! I don’t wanna give up on skating tho since it looks like so much fun so I appreciate the tips man!
1. Reach for your knees when losing balance
2. Not like walking, start with knees up. Bend knees, push, together
3. Snow plow stop, Toes come in, weight in center
I’m already lost 🤦🏻♂️. I’m pissed that I never learn this 😡 now that I’m older I’m learning the hard way

Love how he ran, slid, fell, and just laid there casually like “don’t do that :)”

Glad you thought they were useful tips. Yeah people love to try and tackle a friend 😂
The knees one!!! Yes yes!!! I will use

You didn’t fall on your first time skating?

Looked at so many beginner skating videos, this one was the simplest, clearest - and taught me the most. Thank you!
Today was my first day ice skating.
I fell down about 396548 times.
But at the end of day had a really good grasp of how to do it.

These tips genuinely helped me. Thanks mate!
I went skating for the first time recently and I didn't fall over so I'm now getting lessons and these tips are really useful

I've been using the barrier to stop all times i went ice skating, and it's been working really well. When going for the barrier, i put my arms foward so my stomach doesn't just go straight into the edge, and it worked perfectly (i honestly tought there was no other way), but this video helepd alot

Tomorrow I have a date in a rink. I've never skated. This was invaluable
I already skating on the floor ! thank you!
Wish I found this video when I first tried ice-skating. I fell flat on my ass three times and thankfully didn’t get hurt but it did ruin my experience a little.
There wasn’t really anyone who could give me clear instructions on what to do and what not to do because most of my friends were mostly amateurs so the falling was somewhat expected!
I don’t wanna give up on skating tho since it looks like so much fun so I appreciate the tips man!
Thanks for the videos, i just started skating tonight and it was so much fun
