I love this
Love your guide, easy and clear fot beginner
Hah
Smart
I love my coach, but I think it’s good to have an extra coach for off ice and like rollerblading so thanks for helping my iceskating life
So straightening your leg while pulling with the mass of your other leg is the key?
Can’t practice both sides when everyone goes counter clock wise. All. The. Time.
Bending and pushing. That’s the difference between a propel and a glide right?
my spinner is a few years old and it's grinding a lot. any ideas? should i oil it??
Thank you Julia for posting ISI FS2 dance steps! I'm working on this sequence and it's quite fun. The most challenging part for me right now is the 10th step because my body is leaning forward after the crossover-like step, and it seems to limit my right hip to open enough to do the 10th step. I can do it from backward inside edge so it's probably just because of the body position after the back crossover like step haha. Looking forward to more ISI tutorials!
I tried different styles to learn skating, after I watched your KZread I made it. Thank you for sharing your tips!
I am glad I could help you!
Hi, Coach Julia! We love your channel! Do you have a video that shows forward half swizzle pumps? Thanks! :)
Love this! where can I find the app that you talk about?
Great video! Thanks for posting.
Thank you soo much now I am so good at crossovers 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Yay! Congratulations.
You've got major time ballet feet. Those arches!
Yeah, I was a ballet dancer as a child and my mother was a teacher. So I had classes at the studio plus a ballet set-up in the garage.
So nice sequence :) I continue with this in September, must try it also off ice .
Coach Julia, what happened to the harlick skate factory tour video?
I guess I need a girlfriend to learn ice dance waltz?
Wow. You can change direction so effortlessly.
Can you tell her I can put wild duck meat on the table :). Anyway I’m a Catholic looking for a wife. A date first. Then courtship. Then hopefully marriage and children born into the world. That is my dream. A little late, but it will happen.
Retake with better hockey skates please.
Beginners are just learning, and give them crap dull skates?
So rentals are just crap.
I think you should try good hockey skates instead of dull rentals.
Wow that was a nice looking sequence.
Is your sister married also?
I'm beginner wearing hokey skates now. Thanks for showing me the different feelings bw hokey and figure skates. Some one also told me hokey is harder? Maybe I should try figure skate for 3-turn? The reason I uses hokey was because I felt I was blocked by the teeth and slow while skating forward :)
Oh my goodness thank you!!
Oh, I wish this vid was around 🤔10 yrs ago when I was testing this for ISI! I will Go try it again after seeing you break it down into components and hope I remember it! Thks I seem to recall a program my coach and I choreographed with music and this sequence was in it along with the other elements of freestyle 2.
For my entire life I have got *too many* exams and tests in my own career (not ice skating). I'm pretty fed up with "tests". That keeps me from even membership of any bodies, let alone ISI through any rinks. Tests just put me off. 😅
Perfect... been looking for off ice skating...but your techniques make more sense. I just wanna perfect backward crossovers... so will focus on my 1 leg ups and lemon strengths so I can gain the confidence... wootwoot.. happy skating
This one looks like fun.
It is a fun one!
Julia, you are the best teacher ever! Not only demonstrate but teach step by step how to complete that. Majority teacher primarily show how to do that but not in detail for beginners. You shoulder be an instructor in other fields too! Thanks!
I appreciate the positive feedback!
Thanks for taking time to make/share this video. This is helpful to my level
I am so glad to hear that!
❤❤❤
😍🥰
How much can you rotate before taking off? I was told it was a full 360° rotation in the air and that I can't rotate half a turn then take off as this becomes a waltz jump?
Hockey team coach asked me to teach the players, edges 🤣 came here where I learned them 😂❤
Thank you
I’ve been working on these for a few weeks. I feel like I’m getting them but I’m “clunky”. Anyone feel like that? I almost feel like I’m stepping down hard or clunky- I feel like my energy is very “heavy” on the ice… does that make sense?
Thanks so much! Would you be able to make a video on backward rockers? I have a footwork sequence in my competition program that’s using a back outside edge rocker and I would love more pointers on how I can practice it!
1)How come u only do back spins? Is it too difficult to do front scratch spins on these off ice spinners? 2) Why isnt wearing thick man type construction white cotton sox an option. I practice with those on linoleum floor. Or use my mixmatched socks. Wear 2 pair for thickness. I can get in 6 rotations on front and back spins. Yes only on smooth floors. Wears holes in them after weeks of practice. But only $5 for 2 pairs of socks. Or now u can use all those mixed up odds from dryer.
Could you post a video on off ice training and exercises. I'm currently struggling with just what to do in them.
thank you SO much for doing this! I'm just learning how to skate (at 60!) on figure skates and now I feel way better about where I am right now. There is a learning curve and I'm probably not as awful as I feel I am.
I am glad I could help boost your confidence!
Hi, when u do slalom,,,do push foot outside more or pushing both , same ? ⛸☕
That’s very good
thank you julia. i've been skating for 4.5 years and i still struggle with the rocker balance. today's session was dedicated solely to figuring out the distribution and your video has empowered me to make some fine tuning. thank you!!
I wish that your videos existed when I was skating! I love the way you break everything down; I know it would have been a big help to me. I gave up skating bcuz of health issues & donated my skates, guards & skate bag to a local rink. I miss it but still enjoy watching competitions & videos like yours! You're a wonderful teacher!💖
I just returned to skating after 24 plus years and I noticed that at multiple rinks that the skaters don’t use the boards to continue their warmup/stretching! It was always part of my warmup before. There’s no rules against it, so I started to do it my last freestyle session and waited for someone to say something to me. No one did 🤣 Thanks for all the hip flexor tips, I even struggled with tight hip flexors when I was an athlete 25 years ago, now I need to make sure I don’t do anything to hurt myself 🤣
This is so accurate to how I must have looked doing my first turns in figure skates as a beginner! 😂
that's me NOW trying to learn my 3 turns as a (very old) beginner figure skater.
@@joisnor7906 And that's absolutely okay! You got this!
