Beginner Figure Skating?

Just another Gymnast !

hello! I just want to say I honestly love it

1.You'll be able to learn whatever you want to learn! I mean there's not a 100% chance you'll be in the Olympics but you'll be able to learn some jumps like Axel, double toe loop, Waltz jump, etc. You'll do spins like the sit spin the backward sit spin the beillmen spin (not sure If I spelled it right) and more! The ballet will help you with structure also Yoga helps ALOT! trust me.

2.http://www.yellowpages.com/oahu-hi/ice-skating here's a list of rinks in Hawaii Oahu.

3. Generally? I would say about 7 years and under.

4. I think I mentioned yoga earlier Yoga helps alot with flexibility and Ballet helps with structure also Gymnastics helped me sooo much with tricks in a way but I would recommend all 3!

5. On lessons I recommend tights and a t-shirt that's what I wear and that's what everyone else at the rink wears :) I think you might be cold with shorts but I don't know..

6.i go as much as I can. Occasionally I go twice a week for 4 hours each time so 8 hours a week ! But I recommend going as much as you can.

7. I could go on and on and on about this! I like the feeling it gives me and the satisfaction even though it could get hard when you do that first spin or land that first jump is a feeling you'll never be able to forget it makes you feel good about yourself and it shows you what you're capable of it also releases all of your stress. It makes you forget about all your problems and all your focus is on the ice I love it so much. It benefit me by making me feel beautiful and amazing and it's just a wonderful sport. Well really it's more then just a sport.

8. tips?

-do whatever the coach says

- don't get mad if you can't do something on the first try

- the first time was really hard for me so it's okay

- falling is good it shows you're actually trying

-bring water!!!

-eat breakfast

-bring a sweater (sometimes it get's really hot)

I hope you like my answer! And good luck at ice skating I hope you enjoy it :)

How To Figure Skate Beginner

What brand, what model? We can't help you unless we know that ;) EDIT: Okay, Jackon WHAT? Mystiques? Artistes? What? You have to give us something to work with here... To the person who gave me the TD, I am TRYING to help. But it's hard to help when you don't have all the information. "beginner skates" in the Jackson range could mean anything of half a dozen models. Okay. I just looked up the Glacier model on the Jackson website. The first problem that hit me immediately was that on Jackson's own website these skates are classed as RECREATIONAL. That means NO jumps, only the most basic spins. These skates weren't designed for jumps. Oh my goodness, they're only vinyl outer, and they have a nickel blade. These skates are designed for someone who only goes skating twice a month or something. They're not designed for anyone with a desire to progress in the sport. I know they were probably cheap, but if you're at free skate 4, you really needed to upgrade the model.

Beginner Figure Skating?

Hey! I am thinking about starting beginning figure skating to make me more graceful. Plus, I love the ice :) So could y'all please answer as much of these questions as you can? I'd lahhhhve that :D

1. I am 13 years old. I know this is a little late to start. What do you think are some...

1. No one can really tell you how far you'll be able to get - it all depends on how much time and energy you devote to it, money and your amount of talent. I'll tell you this now though - you're never going to the Olympics, Worlds or Nationals. But don't worry - almost everyone never does! You will definitely be able to learn all your single jumps and most likely axel and some doubles. But again, it depends on a lot of factors. You'll be able to do most spins, probably, if you stick at it. But remember, this all takes time - you might start skating and figure out that it's just not for you.

It helps to be flexible but also work on your strength and balance. Flexibility doesn't really mean anything in skating until you get to a level where you're doing spirals and difficult positions in spins. (However, it always helps to have good flexibility as you're less likely to injure yourself if, for example, you fall in an awkward position).

2. I can't help you there, sorry, but Google is your friend. I just Googled it and it seems that Ice Palace is the only rink on Oahu. As for prices, their website (http://icepalacehawaii.com/skating-classes) says they have beginner classes in blocks of 6 weeks for $89.

3. All ages. Don't listen to the other person who said 7 years and under. Olympians? Sure. But a majority of skaters are only recreational/low level competitive, and can start at any age from 3 to 80...

4. What's preventing you from starting now? No sport or activity will benefit your skating as much as skating itself. Ballet can be helpful for leg line, musicality, strength and body awareness but it's not essential (some people actually say it doesn't help, as it teaches you some conflicting techniques such as spotting when spinning/turning, which ballet dancers do but skaters don't). And with the YouTube videos, it's fine to watch them to get inspiration or whatever, but don't try to teach yourself anything dangerous. On the ice, only try new elements with your coach/instructor's supervision.

5. There's no need for a figure skating dress at all - they are only for competition, practice dresses are completely unnecessary and a waste of money. Just wear leggings or any other kind of form fitting pants and a t-shirt or tank top with a light jacket. Don't forget gloves and long socks (one pair only).

6. It depends on how much you want to go, how much you can afford, and how fast you want to improve. Obviously the more you skate, the better, but as a beginner, there's no pressure. 2-3 times a week would definitely be sufficient to make reasonable progress. But make sure you do practice at least once outside your lesson, otherwise you'll never improve.

7. I like everything about it (except the costs and the injuries...) but probably what I love the most is the satisfaction I get when I finally land a new jump or get a spin right (or even just a bit of footwork!). It's a very rewarding feeling. It has benefited me in so many ways - it's taught me perseverance, for starters. I have learnt so much from skating, on and off the ice.

8. Basically, just listen to your instructor's tips and don't be discouraged if it's not easy. It's not supposed to be easy! :) And don't be afraid to fall - you won't look stupid. Falling is learning.

Good luck! :)
