Wow! You have made lots of progress! I'm very impressed with your jumps!! I'm a yoga teacher for adult figure skaters (and in my adult figure skating journey too). I just started sharing helpful yoga content specifically for those of us who started figure skating "late". Thank you for sharing your progress, keep up the good work!!

Seriously, thank you. It's people like you who make me feel excited and comfortable with skating as an adult, and to share my adult skating journey. I'm 22 now, and I've wanted to skate for 6 years ever since watching Yuri on Ice (lmao), but never started. I have some issues with my feet, for context, but 6 months ago, I finally contacted my "local" skate dealer, who kindly provided me with my first pair of figure skates, Jackson Artiste. And they made them fit my feet so it isn't too painful! I started skating 4 months ago, and I am so so excited to learn. I'm only taking group lessons and practice with my skating friends in our own time. My biggest goal and dream for 6 years has just been to land a pretty, proper waltz jump. I'm a bit eager, and practice it even though we're not doing anything remotely close to jumping during group lessons, but I'm landing it on the wall! Almost without touching the wall. 3-turns are getting better, crossovers are improving, I can do those faster and faster... I'm really grateful to have watched these kinds of videos throughout the last few years to really hype me up, keep it up!🤩

This comment made me smile! Thank you! Good on you for getting your skates and getting stuck in, sounds like you're making so much progress towards that Waltz jump already, won't be long! 3-turns and crossovers took me AGES to get comfortable with so that's fantastic at 4 months. Keep smashing it and keep me posted on your progress! 💪 xx

@@ImoneOnIce Thank you! Everything is improving, steady but slowly. I'm doing waltz jumps away from the wall, from a backwards skating entrance now! Well, I only jump like 20% of them beacause it also terrifies me at the same time so I bail out at the last minute😂 But, during spin-practice (two foot spins now with 5 rotations) I decided to try a scratch spin today, just for the fun of it, I didn't really expect anything since I can't even do a one foot spin, but I did 1 whole rotation AND a little baby-exit! I'm so excited ahaha🤣 So thankful my friend is getting it all on video

@@ImoneOnIce Lol hey, just watched your channel again, specifically your videos on Coronation ace blades, since I'll be upgrading to them within a month! Super excited. I also completely forgot I wrote this comment, it's so fun to read back now, with me struggling with the waltz jump so much🤣 Anyways, I'm currenly baby steps away from landing lutz🫣 I'm a quarter of a rotaion away from landing off ice axel, and half a rotation away from landing off ice double salchow. Still as excited as ever!! Especially with the new blades coming. Hopre you're doing alright❤

Your progress is so inspirational! Hopefully with a lot of training I'll be able to do this too!

[@mexheix]

Great progress!

[@mariavirsa4502]

Learning double sal? Your spins are so much improved. And you look better, stronger and more controlled. Good work! Keep on skating! :)

[@ImoneOnIce]

Learning slowly! Having to take it step by step and avoid developing poor technique. Thank you so much! 😍

[@kelaex]

Your backspin and camel spin are really nice!!

[@ImoneOnIce]

Thank you! 😍

[@Bluesruse]

Your axel is looking close! Try to keep the right shoulder a bit further back (stepping more side ways) instead of bringing it so forward when stepping to it, it'll be easier to generate spin on the edge without going on a skid (which is one way of doing it, but not easy for beginners). You can do it 💪 I was thinking of getting the Risport Royal Primes you have. How you like them?

[@tiffany3255]

how are you liking the royals compared to old your rf3s?
