[@kimberlyvictoriavaglio3078]

so i wanna know how to be more flexible for tricks, since i love figure skating but am as flexible as a plank :/

[@amalia3785]

Amazed Doughnut There are dozens of follow along videos on KZbin. I also suggest doing yoga, it really helps with not just flexibility, but endurance, breathing exercises and your overall health.

[@scorelett4416]

Since I’m a ballerina I am flexible already but I would recommend yoga and dance stretches. Ice skating uses a lot of tricks that I do as a dancer

[@JustNatax3]

I simply just can agree 100% Yoga helps sooooo much with building flexibility. It's all about holding and relieving tension, and letting your weight rest.

[@katshrinks8309]

A lot of skaters do off ice training with yoga, Pilates, aerial Pilates, and ballet

[@doritogirl4212]

Anna mcnulty! Search her up, she has tons of follow along get flexible videos and she even has yoga style ones which I think you'll like!

[@thatotherchannel7945]

PLEASE DO A SPIDER LUNGE TUTORIAL!!!! I tried it but could get it right, so please help a skater out.

[@InoueTsubasa]

I tried doing it and turns out it's not too hard, just need a little bit of flexibility, core and triceps strength. Skate with speed, then drop to a lunge with your free knee on the ice. Quickly pull the free knee towards the skating ankle and slowly lower your body backwards (using your ab and tricep muscles) without losing weight on your skating foot. It's best to try on smooth ice. That's how I do it, but it's all in one swift move, just keep practicing! Falling would just end in a fun back glide xD

[@megslemp2906]

Go down into a small kinda crunched lunge. Place your weight on the skate placed horizontally on the ice. Place your hands along side of your knees on the ice and let the friction of the motion drag you back. Hope that helped

[@egoist5134]

Practice bending one leg and tap your head behind you on the floor then attempt the drag then put your head back as I said in the beginning

[@dylanshaw273]

fact

[@B___T985]

I LOVE seeing these moves on the ice. It's nice when skaters put forth the effort to include unique, showstopping moves like these. Too many skaters just look alike. I'd take originality and uniqueness over 20 quads any day!

[@plusminuscons]

I think Shoma Uno does the "cantilever" in competition (he did at the 2017 worlds in Helsinki anyway). Was fun to watch. Matej did it for longer in this video, looks hard hahaha

[@wildchild1161]

actually depending upon your flexibilty they can quite easy to do . i have built a device that helps people learn how to do them .

[@wildchild1161]

The biggest issue i have with skating is currently the isi /usfs . they managed to turn an art into a sport . such that it punishes creativity and uniqueness . it is why i hope that one day i can put an end to them or at least create a 3rd party that will allow people to do what they dream .

[@agnessiaasianb.4123]

plusminuscons It has been his signature since junior days! And on galas (and at SCI Fs yesterday!) he'll do the cantilever with one hand on ice

[@wildchild1161]

As far as having a cantilever as a signature move, i find that funny.because he doesn't use his cantilever in any different fashion than the other X amount of people currently doing them. Now if he did do it differently then it would be worth of being called a signature move. I mean i do cantilevers under camels, and i still don't consider it a signature move. if any one wanted to see that by the way here is a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGrFfHigh82Cm8U . but even when you can control your path all you have really done is begin to gain control over what you are doing. most people have issues controlling their direction with cantilevers, they just lean back and go were there blades go .none the less cantilevers are still cool and i appreciate the fact he can do it.good job.

[@AditiAropalli]

I'm a potato. How'd I get here? I looove this. It's so pretty.

[@mariaespiritu9606]

Aditi A Don't worry girl. I'm a freaking potato too.

[@Dani_1012]

your lie in april

[@laughysophie8818]

Yuzuru's hydroblades give me life but his A-frame spin makes me cringe I've been calling it the but spin up until I saw this video.

[@agnessiaasianb.4123]

Laughy Sophie Shoma'a A-frame spin is good. Maybe the build? Also Yuzu's layback Ina Bauer is also beautiful!

[@reannakwan8773]

Yuzu's A frame hydroblade ina bauer and everything else is so beautiful...

[@luceleaf]

I feel that I have seen almost all of these unique tricks from Yuzuru Hanyu, they are indeed so unique and fun! Great video!

[@usuitakumi8179]

"...Tricks you MUST TRY!" .... *proceed to step on ice* .... >Felt immediately< *ok.*

[@Walymie]

They're fun ... but damn hard ;_; the only thing I can do out of all that is hydroblading, I'm a self taught skater so I guess that will take more time to figure out how to do the rest

[@tsukki24]

DAAAAAAMMNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!! HE DID THE SHOMA UNO MOVE!!! I LOVE IT!!!😍

[@mk_nugget]

Ice & Amber has YAAAAS

[@reannakwan8773]

4:42 pistol move? Trying to be yuzuru hanyu XD

[@mk_nugget]

Reanna Kwan haha 😂 who wouldn’t wanna try the side lunge pistol pose??

[@frozenicestar7293]

YOU FORGOT BUTT SPINS!!

[@trashcant69]

FrozenIceStar hell yeah

[@laurenalice873]

Haha! I do those 24/7

[@yagorlmayaih4165]

Aka the only reason I figure skate

[@akudumb3021]

FrozenIceStar When i’m at the rink i always want to do them, but always forget!! Edit: in conclusion, I’ve never done it ;(

[@Sussyferret472]

Do it when you fall and keep it cool. Awesome trick.

[@user-os3du7br3q]

The first transition was so beautiful! Butterly to back camel is always going to be one of my favorites ♥

[@mayahany6021]

You've actually mentioned every single move that I can't do and it's even harder on roller skates😭😭but great video.

[@missmr4859]

This is super cool! I almost want to take up figure skating now! And I am seeing many similarities to ballet and dance in general- like how your “barrel” is a calypso leap for me. Really puts it into perspective how similar these two arts are

[@MobiusMinded]

Frick & Frack did the best cantilevers. Russian Splits & Shoot the Duck were my jams

[@auegh2010]

I was looking for the butterfly one for the longest time, it’s so beautiful!

[@ohitsmebrittanyb2623]

Wow, I’m very impressed. I was wowed by the both of you! Very good job you guys. You are very inspirational. ❤️

[@CoachMichelleHong]

Thank you! I'm glad we can help inspire you.

[@lynnscott8633]

I wish you guys skated at our rink. Your advice is good for the soul - Have fun!!!

[@estella6670]

I remember just started skating I saw this vid am I was like NOPE NOT GONNA HAPPEN Now that I have skated for some time these look fun to try

[@ssbpichu326]

So elegant!!!!! I went with the ballet route but I feel like in another life I was a figure skater!

[@kkstar1297]

I’m not learning any of these tricks yet. Some of these I possibly could never do. But I do see a few that I could possibly try when I pass all the basics. Thanks for the video.

[@noorallawati5390]

Goodness Yuzu has like all these in the most beautiful way ever!

[@odetolala]

ahh i remember about 1-2 years ago i first saw this and i tried the spider lunge. it's really fun to do and i would have never thought to do it if i hadn't seen this video!

[@cwong2587]

3 of my friends did a triple salchow and triple toe beside each other at the same time. It was soooo cool!

[@5954ldydi]

I loved the bloopers! Shows even serious skaters still enjoy the sport and can laugh and have fun well... when you fall😋 I'm going to check out your channel so it looks like you have a new subscriber. Thanks for posting!

[@juls225]

You're really inspiring I started with figure skating some time ago and I love it more than anything else

[@CoachMichelleHong]

Aww thank you. I'm so glad!

[@peiwang7390]

thank you for sharing this video, it lift me up so much whenever i feel low from falling and fear to challenge again. it reminds me to just enjoy it and have fun. and that's all matter , wish one day i can find a skate partner as well and have so much fun together !

[@peiwang7390]

spread eagle with spiral with a partner is definitely one of my goal i would like to try with my skate friend !!!! just love it

[@hnrose3499]

So cool!

[@claudianowakowski]

You have great split jumps. Matej has an amazing cantilever.

[@elin221]

AMAZING! Could you do a split jump tutorial?

[@maars75]

Wow thank you (both) for this video, really interesting 😍

[@janeb7503]

I love your haircutter and biellemen spin❤️I probably spelled that wrong...I'm working on getting my haircutter spin but I always wimp out

[@wizardwithguns1]

Good feel good stuff!!

[@piaquinterosiiic446]

i love this soo much

[@sonexocarat1059]

4:42 yuzuru ;;;;;-;;;;;

[@mk_nugget]

sonexocarat YAAAASSSS

[@jewlia7909]

Can you pleaseee make a video on how to do the Spider/Johnny Weir lunge? I really want to use it in a program but there are no tutorial videos and my coach can't physically do it lol.

[@minimel555]

Jewlia Skates I have the same problem!!! There are no videos out there at all!!

[@kiraveritas3060]

It’s not that hard?

[@kiraveritas3060]

Try it on the ground first, but the main thing is to go into a tucked lunge, bring the trailing foot in and turn your knee out then lie back by putting your hands beside you and sliding them straight back (gloves and fresh ice recommended)

[@jmburry]

Best COACH EVER 😍💖💖💖

[@alexamalayka4905]

could u do a tutorial on axels. i am now learning my axel. and i am getting kind of frustrated with it. if you could help me with that it would mean alot! Thx -Alexa

[@tarasbudar7546]

make a Russian split jump with a 90-degree turn and exit like jumping! very cool looking

[@DLinton]

I'm going to try to cantilever in roller skates (quads).

[@terrillcrookshank4363]

A-FRAME prophetic and replica for Apple Fritter! Happy Holidays!

[@wildchild1161]

okay that " hydroblade " was not a hydroblade , that was a shoot the duck with a variation with the arms .

[@okayokay6163]

Wild child that was a hydroblade. you can tuck your leg in or out, it’s the same move. it looks cooler, in my opinion, when you leg is under, but both are valid.

[@mysteriousopinionatedperso1508]

It’d be really cool if you could do some sort of tutorial for these moves. I’d love to try them out once we’re back on the ice.

[@CoachMichelleHong]

Mysterious Opinionated Person I have almost every tutorial you can think of on my channel ;) check it out !

[@Sam-mh6iy]

Butterfly kick.... *INTERNAL WESKER TRIGGERED*

[@shyneicemayeux5168]

I just started lessons hopefully one day I can be good as you :)

[@StephStephs]

omg I skate at that rink! I think you were my Saturday morning adult intermediate teacher a year ago :o lol but I'm not sure haha

[@rooseveltingudam6354]

2:54 Wow !

[@lilasmith6600]

💜💜💜

[@becca1424]

Welp maybe one day I can be as good as you. Perhaps not with my flexibility but with my spins and jumps. I think I've gotten to the stage now where going only once a week is really holding me back. I am capable of so much progression, I passed every single person in my group within the first few weeks and have excelled. I am still a huge 30 weeks ahead of the closest person to me that started at the same time as me. I have flown through it. But now that I'm really getting there with my jumps and spins 2 and a half hours a week practise time just isn't enough. I feel like I'm never going to improve from here or ever get any double jumps or an axel because of the time. The idea of having to learn this with such limited time and on a public skate where I can easily crash into people is so daunting it seems impossible and I believe that thought is what is mostly holding me back. I have no idea what to do anymore...

[@harveygirl95]

Becky hm do they have early freestyle sessions at your rink? Sometimes I go at 5:30 in the morning and no one else is there to get in my way haha

[@minimel555]

Can you please do a video on how to do spider lunge? No one on KZbin actually teaches it and I couldn't do it :(

[@lucybraun8969]

I am only at the point of building strength and endurance, and have encountered a couple of pretty bad falls. Please relate how to fall when it can't be avoided so that I avoid injury. Obviously. falling isn't the goal, but I am older, , so falling can have more of a negative effect than when I was skating in my teens and twenties. (I took a long break.) I know to invest in crash pads. That's on my list.

[@pineapplepizza8639]

if i even TRY a cantiliver i'm guaranteed to break my skull

[@miyuki3474]

Ina Baker is really fun

[@courtneyozog3675]

You go into barrel turns like a split jump? I tried putting them into my holiday program this year, going in like a falling leaf.

[@gaileyoung4171]

uhmm can i ask a question what is the thing that's on my blade because it's my first pairand it has a black dots on it.... I'm really nervous because i don't know what is it

[@HaveanIcedaymx]

Can you make a tutorial with tips for doing an Ina Bauer?

[@RomeoMontagueidv]

Next year. Wait for me figure skating. I'm on my way.

[@eiris3097]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@maura_the_rose]

3:28 - Well, I was in such a state of shock, I completely blacked out, I can't remember a thing It wasn't until later, When I was washing the blood off my hands I even knew they were dead They had it coming (they had it coming) They had it coming (they had it coming) They had it coming all along I didn't do it But if I'd done it How could you tell me that I was wrong? . . .I'm sorry I had to.

[@brynndoot5180]

I was thinking this

[@Amaranthine_01]

Do u know the name of the song that sounds at that time

[@wenjinhan4118]

The coolest thing I can do is a waltz jump

[@mdsnnails]

is the barrel jump the actual name? because i tried looking it up (its so pretty i wanna learn it so i tried looking up a tutorial) and i didn’t find anything :(

[@maddissonmalott6257]

I learnt all these tf

[@bphlebotomist67]

What is that move that the guy is doing @18 seconds. It looks hard with 2 people but damn, you have to have a very strong core I'm guessing. It's just amazing and one of my favorite moves 🙂😍

[@lillyanlubean4502]

Why do hafta live in Oakland? :( Come to Washington and coach meeehhhhh

[@nataliekelley2147]

Can you do a crossover on both forward and backwards

[@x1marshmello1x47]

12

[@truehoomanhere6230]

So, how do I get started on this... I wanted to learn ice skating since maybe 2019 but couldn't start and now I'm 18, is it too late for me? I hope I can learn for a long while (I'm not interested in competitions whatsoever) and those tricks look really fun! Is it possible that with very good training I could learn those tricks one day or will my body stop before? Sorry if it seems dumb but I wanted to ask

[@sputter9765]

Same here... I just want to be able to do simple tricks though, wouldn't dream of these ;v;

[@lightwood880]

um i need help, i want to be a self taught figure skater but idk what i should learn like idk the order of what i should learn i already know front and backwards swizzles backward skating one foot glides what else should i learn and in what order???this probably made no sense Show less REPLY

[@magikae6824]

You can try T-stops, side lunges and forwards lunges, crossovers, bunny hops, three turns (outsides then insides), backwards spirals, three jump (aka waltz jump), two foot spin. Try searching for beginner videos on youtube. Good luck!

[@elliemegel2846]

Light Wood don't be a self taught figure skater. It is not only dangerous but you could be using bad technique that will prevent you from doing high level jumps and spins. If you have to be self taught get a coach at least once a month so they can tell you if you are doing it right or not

[@lightwood880]

yeah i know, i am being really careful and i am concentrating when i watch people skate. alsooo there are no coaches here lmao,literally none. but thank youu

[@elliemegel2846]

really? Theres no figure skaters at your rink that have a coach? Thats weird. Make sure you get all the basics down. So outside and Inside edges forward and back. You can look up the basic skills chart on the USFS website and follow that

[@lightwood880]

ill make sure ill get all of them, thank youuu, also yeahh i swearrr there aren't anyy

[@patrykwolinski7232]

Whats song is when he is doing ina bauer?

[@terrillcrookshank4363]

Spread Eagle prophetic and replica for while I was fellowshipping with God when in 2nd grade and when he used the Eagle Nebula along with Nahum 3:1 at the usage of a 4 way intersection. Me going from South to North this being prophetic and replica to a male and female partnering up and doing the Spread Eagle. The East going West instead of completing the journey to the West went South. This clogging, up the intersection. Me and God were waiting for the crossing to complete itself from East to West so we can go from South to North but again the intersection was clogged. Prophetic and replica for the pre-pandemic and then pandemic. Happy Holidays!

[@wcsdiaries]

How many hours of practice would it take to learn all of these? Or even one of these tricks?

[@elianelaroche2436]

I Can do A spider lunge but it's impossible for me to do a split jump hahaha

[@Grace-fu6mf]

Sweetie I can barely do a spiral🙃

[@itsascottishginthing1403]

I'm a figure skater and I do THEESE on ice

[@hannahm0ck]

I fall on my singles 😂

[@LyraValley]

I can just stay upright and skate forward, I wouldn't be able to do any of these in a million years, especially being as old as I am

[@EruditeYT]

Umm.. can I try these even if I don’t learn figure skating?

[@squirrelsofrock9497]

I can do a cantilever and I had it in my last program but I can’t have it in my new program since my coach doesn’t think it will fit the music😭

[@sleepypika2928]

what's the song played at the intro?

[@iwanttoeat3049]

unfortunately I can barely stand on ice

[@CoachMichelleHong]

I just made a video for beginners. I hope this helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKeQnnuLhqxposk

How many shoes have been scratched after doing your tricks?

[@JohnSmithNE3478]

He is so cute

[@santalubika2185]

[@tall.nervous.boii.4209]
