I am a assistant coach for skaters that are just starting to skate. One of the older students felt very discouraged and un-motivated, I showed her a few of your videos and explained that you spread positivity and light through the entire skating community. I told her that your videos show that you can start skating at any age. She was very inspired and watches your videos every day! ❤

this is so fascinating to me as a casual rollerskater. i skate in lace-up quads (and the best pair of skates i own (they were about $300) are less padded in the ankles & tongue, but more cushioned in the sole. they allow much more freedom for movement and are great for shuffle skating/dancing! seeing that professional ice-skates are not only more padded, but also much stiffer explains why i struggling with ice skating much more than i anticipated. 😅 i'm adjusted to inline skating as well, i'm simply not used to my ankles being stiff as a board when i'm trying to do a spin 💀💀🤍

that’s very true!! as a figure skater i am definitely say that a beginner jackson boot compared to edeas chores boots are an completely differently designed boot. Jackson’s are more of a really solid good beginner boot with a basic blade. it has a pretty stiffer boot compared to edeas. now Edeas are what you see all of the olympians wear. ( just to clarify that edeas do have lots of beginner boots, but jackson’s are the most recommended for just starting skating.) and edeas have a way much more comfort than a jackson boot. because they were designed to be tied loosely and be breathable and bendable. jackson boots are less comfortable but have more support on the soul of the boot for beginners up to advanced. hope this helps!!!❤❤❤

You should remember it’s not just based on beginner and advanced. A fitter will look at your foot and things like ankle strength. Some may need a more advanced boot because of their body structure and needs

Please do your research before getting new skates!! You need to take in account: your technical level, your goals, height weight, Wideness of your foot and etc. Getting the wrong skates not meant for your body is horrible. My friend still cant skate properly because of how uncomfy her skates are simply because the skates she has arent designed for her body/skating type

Idk why but all I can focus on rn is those blade covers. They're so heckin cute

So JW (John Wilson) Coronation ace is a developmental blade up to 2 Lz (Double Lutz) and it has cross cut toe picks which mean it has smaller toe picks in the middle and the biggest toe picks at the tip and the lowest part. The Jackson’s have straight cut toe picks which mean they are just cut in 1 direction. Overall, they are the same size just diff toe picks

Anyone else ever see a video of a cool sport and all of a sudden imagines themselves winning an award for being so good and just seeing yourself good at it but then you snap back and realize those people take years practicing and it’s not easy 😃

I’m in synchronised ice skating team so I feel that 😭🫶🏼

Skates can also depend on how tall you are, I do synchronized skating and a bunch of my teammates have Ice Flys, though I have a chorus despite working on my double loop. Just in general, the taller you are, the stiffer boot you’ll need

@Eric-xh9ee

Weight also plays a big factor since you need the skates to support you

STOP I CAN FEEL THE HEEL PAIN THROUGH THE VIDEO 😭😭😭😭

When I first started figure skating, I was really close to my coach so she let me borrow her shoes since we were the same size but 10-12 years apart. I was a beginner in professional shoes and I kept telling myself that the shoes did not hurt. I lied XD. The shoes DID in fact have SOO much more support than the rentals I was using. I also didn't have to use as much effort in speed when using the dull blade of the rental. My turns were easier, but also made it easier to fall. Still, obviously the more advanced skates would hurt more, but work better on ice.

idc about the price i need the extra padding, my ankles get so hurt when i skate and use the skates that they provide😭😭

your videos are geting me back into ice skating lol

Chorus is nice, I recommend switching to concerto if you start doing doubles. It will support your feet more. So you don’t get foot injuries like me💀. I still have concerto and I’m doing triples. My feet hurt so much 😭😭😭

uh that doesn’t sound good. Your skates are always stiff at the beginning. But if they are still hurting after you wore them in, you should do something about it cuz you could get seriously hurt.

In another life I never quit skating, this video made me realize how long it’s been since I went skating ❤️

have been ice-skating every Saturday ever since my foot has been big enough for the the smallest size and I’m so glad that my mom did that because now I have a talent that I wouldn’t have had if it weren’t for my amazing mother she did that because she almost got into the Olympic But then she got pregnant with me and I ruined her future but she helped me with mine and I’m so thankful for that

i skate in hockey skates, is so interesting to see the differences in equipment

I remember when I bought new skates for the first time and the guy selling them saw my old skates with no support and completely dull blades and was like “How the hell were you doing tricks in these things?” First time I realised the difference in quality lol

those look so comfortable

My beginner skates were my advanced skates-

Those cost almost as much as my monthly board for my horse… (Monthly board is $825, this includes cleaning the stall, feeding hay, turnout, and usage of arenas. Boarding can cost anywhere between 500-1,000 USA dollars every month.)

Super helpful I’m learning how to figure skate!❤️

The levels of stiffness that exist for ice skaters is insane. I see a lot of rollerskaters use the equivalent of an ice skating boot (similar to the Riedell 2010) for moves that do not require a brick for a boot. Having just started ice skating, in a very soft boot (Riedell 220) I'm growing to see the need for the crazy stiffness tiers, I can spin with such ease, and holding edges is significantly harder. I'm excited to ice skate, and improve my skills, it's a different beast to rollerskating!

I love that because its almost like beginner skates were made to be flexible so that when you inevitably went ass over tea kettle you didnt dislocate your ankle.

I had those exact beginner skates for 2 years, well I still have them, my new ones arrive in the morning, it’s 1:52 am, I’m really excited, back to the beginner skates- I had them for two years and the tongue started sinking, which crushed my toes, and eventually ended up loosening my skates really bad to the point where I got really badly hurt landing a toe loop on Saturday, I fell, twisted my ankle, and stabbed myself in the thigh with that back of my blade, but those skates were pretty reliable for quite some time! Thankfully it wasn’t to bad and I felt better within 24 hours and I’m so excited for my new skates!!!!

i have edea chorus too! i loooooove them

Bro I have really bad joints and had to get more intermediate skates every thought I only skate recreationally at a beginner level. There is such a quality difference in the levels of skates.

It’s like the difference of a beginner violin and a professional violin

I have the advanced skate, I wore both of them once and the advanced one is whole lot better.❤️its Jackson beginner skates, Edea Chorus advanced skate💕

for the toe pick part, it just depends on the blades

I love watching figure skating but my sport is swimming and our most expensive thing is tech suits that are close to 650-800

I was told my harlicks would cause knee issues. My boots were like 1500. All leather, heavy skates. But i am 5'10. Now i love all the new light synthetic boots. Light as a feather

The pro ones such as Ice flys or piano edea skates are around $900 without the blades 🥰

when i was skating the rentals that were there were advanced skates and because of a genetical problem in my ankles and feet the skates were so uncomfortable and caused a lot of problems in my left foot :,)

i remember immediately tripping on the toepick on my new skates once

why these beginner ones always look prettier 😭

this is my sign to get back into figure skating help

In Finland you can get skates that have the same things as listed here as advanced skates from a supermarket for like 40 to 80 euros🤷‍♀️

As a figure skater, the difference between my beginner and advanced is CRAZY LOL!

Relatable, I had those exact beginner skates for my first pair, now I have the Jackson ultima freestyle skates with the aspire xp blade and it’s so much easier to turn and do jumps in

As a figure skater I agree

I have those exact advanced skates 😅😮

Back in the day...I got leather boots and then really great blades to be attached permanently permanently Helped so much really really

Ihave advanced ones and i prefer the ones you picked bcuz its expensive but better

The blades can be mounted or remounted when change skates but I have the matrix blades and they were $450 rip my bank account💀

So advanced is just... t h i c c

I wish I could learn but the closest ice skating rink from me is a hour away even if I go once a week I will probably not be able to fit it in the schedule😢 and I doubt I would get enough money to buy skates because my parents are NOT buying them for me😭 I wish I could learn you are actually my inspiration I hope one day I will be able to! ❤

one thing you can do when you get skates, i did this, is with my choruses i put my old blade on so it was only $450 and not $750 so next time you get skates ask the person who you are getting your skates from about it.

So am so greatful I had been skating for a while and I couldn’t afford better skate and when I went thrifting some angel gave me some advance skate for free and am so grateful and comp dress

I got my beginners skates that are really good for only £40 (they were on deal but the original price was £50) so it really depends on which brands and where you buy from on price

Bro, skating hurts my ankles so much, I was there was cheeper ones with good support

I feel like beginners need more support and the beginner skates should be stiffer since they need more support

The way I wheezed when the price came up 😅 guess only rentals for me

I am an advanced skater and i got my advanced skates for very cheap and now that i actually see how expensive they are i am so grateful that i got mine for how much i did 💀

Even if you can’t afford advanced skates beginner skates are good too. I’ve been skating for 1 year in beginner skates and I can do flips and loop just fine.

😊 The difference is really just the price tag everything else is because the less you spin on something the less material used and the lower the quality. It's not about beginner or advance it's about when you start how much money are you willing to invest in something that you aren't sure of. 😊

My fav r the Jackson Freestyle btw ISI or USFSA

the beginner skates are Jackson Elects im pretty sure, those are the skates i have and they are amazing in my opinion but people say that they are the worst

You have summoned me👹

i got advanced skates for 70 bucks, yes they were actually advanced i checked. and they were the last ones. Now i skate with those even if im not figure skating.

The blade you can change it tho… I agree with you on the boots tho. I gotta get new boots soon…

I got figure skates from a thrift store that were advanced for like 20$ and they worked very well and were comfy unlike skates I’ve borrowed before I don’t ice skate anymore tho

I used to do figure skating, the skates were always so hard to get on/off

Better blades are harder which can cut into the ice instead of skidding on it. It also requires less sharpening.

i am also an ice skater and have been competing my whole life this is very true

Even the advanced skates can get more expensive! My skates cost $1750

I have the beginner skates but with Mark II blades

Ik those shoes are usually meant to be a once in a while buy but dang, there is a massive difference in $500-600 😅

Ice skates honestly reminds me of sunghoon tbh

This is so true though

I thought competitive cheer at school for the full year was expensive in total but 750 for just nice figure skates is the same as… -just cheer lessons -the uniform (rented) -cheer shoes -makeup -competition prices -price to become a cheerleader legally -cheer jacket -other things

The bigger toepicks are also for making it easier to catch on the ice and face-plant into it xD

Im pretty sure there are also weight differences because I use to skate too and mine was a lot lighter for the axels and the blade was also different

It’s just beginner but ✨more✨

Bro ive been doing ice skating for like 5/6 years now and still cant really afford the professional ones, plus my skating rink provides the more basic one and got upset when one of my friends got professional skates (tailored to her) so im a litttle tiny bit jealous lmaoo

😨.. there goes my dream of ice skating, lmao

I can't ice skate that well if I don't have ankle support, which is why I prefer roller blading.

The jump in price killed me but I have scar tissue on both ankles and I really noticed how much better I was with the support of pro skates

I went for a fitting yesterday because I could not nail my size so nothing fit properly. The technician recommended a pair that were $350. I was going to go for something under 200 but he pointed out the cheaper ones were for very recreational use which I would outgrow since I will be doing the learn to skate program next year. Am not looking forward to shelling out all that money on boots but I hope I advance enough to get there.

As a beginner it’s good to know I could very well break my ankles since my skates aren’t as thick 👍🤌
