    Excellent! You picked up on it pretty quick. As a hockey player, I’d say it’s important to learn to stop on both sides. This really applies to anything related to skating. Once you get one side down make a point to practice the other side before moving on to anything

    • @speterm_004
      @speterm_004 2 роки тому +3

      Well I have this problem. I have learned the stop turning to the left, but I can't do it while turning to the right. But I also started to learn that thing when I place my skates in front of one another while turning, which I also only learnt to turn left. In fact simply turning to the right is also a bit of a problem for me. Can you suggest anything? Will this be a problem that I learnt something new while I couldn't do the hockey stop to the other side? Btw I don't want ot be a professional skater I just want to learn these skills so that I could do them anytime, but that I can only do these to one side bothers me a bit.

      bro, quick tip, start turning with the interior foot going first anf the exterior behind (not in a line, with separation) and then sharpen that turn till you notice you slide, just keep doing it, each time a bit faster and a bit sharper, some day you will just do it for normal stops as if you did it all life

      I think people neglect that he's forced to film himself (for UA-cam). Most people learning won't film themselves, so they won't have the luxury of reliving their mistakes. He learns faster partly *because* he films it. Of course, there are other reasons he's efficient.

    one tip for your future skating career, try to bend your knees a bit so you keep your center of gravity low for added stability and spread your feet apart a bit more when you stop because they are a little too close and that makes it easier for you too fall or catch an edge.

    a couple things i can see your doing wrong that I've done but have gotten better on
    1) your skate laces are way to lose, i can see your ankles folding in and that how you ruin your skates
    2) your concentrating on the stop too much so you back foot is right on your front foot, you need about 10-13 inches of space between your skates
    3) your leaning to much forward so try to work on leaning back abit
    other then that your pretty good at them, keep up the great work

      Ava Boxwell I wouldn’t say they get made fun of, but younger kid skaters learning will see adults falling and getting back up which inspires them to not be afraid to fall. They’ll laugh for sure, but they remember when they were learning too. I’ve had nothing but support from people at the arena when I fell down, someone always came to check on me. I’m 31 now, many people including myself, grew up in a household that could not afford hockey equipment to participate in the sport. So we get into it at a later age when we have our own jobs and income to support that hobby.

  • @kimberley5921
    @kimberley5921 4 роки тому +14

    My advice on how to ice skate.
    The problem for begginers is that your scared of falling, but if you learn how to fall without hurting yourself and how to get up you have no problem, also everyone falls its no big deal.
    Next, a lot of people walk on the ice or take steps, now your probably going to fall since the front of many iceskates has a jagged stop, you want to glide on the ice as if your sliding.
    Lastly, dont ever be to full of yourself and always hold your arms out.
    Bonus; when you fall dont hold your hand out with your flat palm on the floor someone might run your hand over, put your in a fist position.
    Have a good day!!
