    Yay!! Welcome the ice figure skating world! I’m so glad you are finally posting this content. The skill crossover between inline figure roller ice figure skates is pretty similar. Pretty impressed!
    I just bought some pic inline skates, so I will be starting my roller skating journey this year as well.

      Awesome!! We are doing a little switch in our disciplines. After recording this I tried some jumps and they feel so much better I’m very excited to start making some real progress on my axel again, and to learn non edge jumps finally

      @ toe loop and lutz are my favorite on ice. Maybe I’ll be inspired to post some things soon. You are better with the camera!
      But for being self taught on all these skills? Kudos, really.

    the shock from doing twizzles without any resistance is the most relatable thing ever lol. doing skating skills in inlines is like playing on hard mode.

    Glad to see you try on ice. I spent 4 hours at the ice rink today. For gliding(sliding), just keep this in mind: On wheels the more you lean the more you slide. With blades, is the opposite. The more you lean the more the blade bites the ice so you can lean to crazy levels and get a lot of speed (for example on crossovers). Sliding on blades is engaged at shallow lean angles.
    For a proper hockey stop, the trick is to engage the slide from the toe. not from the heel. Therefore, is a lot easier to learn by starting with a plough stop then lifting your back foot (fancy one foot slide, is quite easy actually), and finally putting both together.
    If you just try forcing a slide as we do on skates it won't work and you just will end turning (hard).

      @@SaccoBelmonte that makes so much sense 😭 I couldn’t slide at all even though I thought hockey stops were pretty easy. All my fundamentals were flipped. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I’ll have to learn gliding eventually too 🫣

      I wasn’t really expecting my self to go out and get figure skates just for this, but I couldn’t pass it up knowing how lucky I am. And for skating outside in 10-20 degree weather I can’t experience all of the bad parts without the good parts. Good luck with your frozen lakes 🙏🙏

    "the ice are really solid" 😆looks like a private ice rink to me.
    I'm still recovering from muscle injury after ice skating last month,
    I also try to have ice skating routine next month, kinda feel so late to learn figure skating with many kids on the rink, but better than never try at all.
    I'm trying to have a proper falling technique

    you need to use aggressive inlines for the weight. once you can pop up to your own chest or head height with aggressive inlines. you can only imagine the pop youd have with normal skates. do some cess slides!

    "The minimum recommended thickness of ice for ice skating is four inches for a single skater and seven inches for small groups. " I would be surprised if that rock would break through 1" thick ice. Don't skate alone on natural ice. Skate with 'ice claws' so you can rescue yourself if you do break through. Be careful.

      Haha, the lady at the shop said they come with a free sharpening out of the box because the company does a really bad job, so I asked if I could save it for later because I knew I was gonna destroy them by skating in some questionable ponds and lakes near my apartment. So not really 😂
