For any new sport I tried, I'd tell myself to "accept the fact that you WILL fall". Basically getting rid of the fear that you MAY fall, and just basically make yourself fall and practice falling first 😉 once that fear is out of the way, it won't hold you back!

I'm 20 years old and I'm just learning how to skate and now I'm addicted to these videos 😂

39 years old started ice skating again 4 months ago (ice skated twice around 13 years old) roller skated about 100 times as a kid...I'm getting much more comfy on ice with K2 ice skates...my forward crossovers are pretty decent backwards I can crossover in 1 direction the opposite is a total no go...I get my ice skate off the ice now quite a bit on crossovers which I couldn't do at all 3-4 sessions ago

Yesterday I managed to do wiggles for the first time, and I was so happy about it because the previous time that I tried it I was stuck on the same spot and couldn't even get myself moving. Can't thank you enough for your videos coach!

I’m not sure why this showed up on my timeline. I’ve figured skated for 22 years. But this is great content and I’ll watch even if I don’t need the instruction lol

THANK YOU! I've gotten so confidant with recreational skating that I can keep up with those tiny hockey kids that zoom around the ice... but every time I watch a backwards lesson, I'd get totally stuck. The detail you made about form, and skating on the front curve of your blades? THAT was my issue! Good teachers don't make assumptions that beginners know those implicit/subconscious things.

Took some classes for beginners but the backward skating was always the hardest for me! This is really helpful :)

I absolutely fell in love with your videos. You explain everything so clearly and show each technique in different angles. I'm about to turn 30 in a few months and I found out how fun ice skating can be. I used to surf every weekend back home in Puerto Rico, so moving to a cold state where surfing is not pleasant anymore, I was worried I wouldn't find a sport that brought me the same joy. Turns out skating gives me a similar feeling like flying over the water! I've already looked up classes in a nearby rink, and have been watching your videos every day! Again, thank you so much for your effort and time to make these amazing tutorials for us!

Some of the best skating tutorials on youtube. Ive been rewatching this video everytime i go out for a session, im hoping to at least begin doing backwards crossovers before the end of this season.

Thank you for your lessons, hugely helpful and appreciated

Thank you so much for this video!!! I've been struggling with backward wiggles for 5 weeks now!!! My current instructors are college students at a college rink and I'm in a basic one group (mostly small children haha) everything has been very easy for me, but the backward wiggles are my enemy. One of the instructors told me I should slightly lean forward while moving back in forth to do them, and obviously, my toe pick got the best of me. I did actually end up learning how to do backward wiggles.. forward? Although I'm sure it has an actual name, that's what we'll call it for now. Thank you so much for this video!

First time going backwards today.. I did backward swizzles, I was a little scared at first, but I improved really quickly! Thank you so much for all of these videos.. its a big help.. you're my coach! Greetings from The Netherlands :D

Your tutorials have helped me so much! You are very sweet. I am trying to learn backwards one-foot glides and I am wobbly like a balloon :') I skate, bring my feet parallel, bend my knees, and slowly bring one foot up - but then I lean to one side, even if I engage my core. Guess I need to squeeze more! I find it very hard to position my weight correctly in my boot, I end up way too in front. Also, in the backwards slalom, I find it very hard to lean to the outside edge - I distribute my weight in the opposite way, always putting weight on the wrong foot... Any tips for that? :') My coach went nuts today hahaha

Those backwards wiggles are awesome. It's like you're dancing on ice 😅😄 And 7:35 looks so funny 🤭😆🤣 Great tutorial, cheers.

I really like this tutorial! gonna try these steps next time I hit the ice. it looks so easy but every time I start moving backwards I feel like I'm going to die 😂😂 my sense of balance in general is ABYSMAL... it took me months just to be able to skate forwards without fearing for my life 😆

Well done

@pandaoven7808

@@kourtnie1 yup, its where you make a circle/bubble shape in the ice going backwards/forwards. You bend your knees and turn your feet both about 45 degrees away from eachother, like first position in highland dancing if you know what that is. Then you stand up whilst pushing your knees down, that makes you go forwards/backwards. You then point your feet back together, making a semicirle on each foot which makes a circle together :)

Thank you for all the explanations of weight distribution and proper alignment- this video is so helpfful! I noticed my toes clenching and digging into the sole of the shoe particularly in backwards swizzles. Is that bad? I think it tires out my feet easily.

Than you Coach Julia! My granddaughter QiQi has completed this lesson and she can't help spinning on the ice right now.

girl, you are the BOMB and your budda shows it. at 63, I just started ice skating and I love it. at 60, i started inline skating seriously having retired from long distance cycling and kickboxing, and you now my favorite teacher. thank you for your insight and expertise in teaching me this very important movement for skating with SOUL on ICE.

Its been forever since I skated on actual ice. Ive missed it a lot and have always been looking forward to getting back on ice.
