Extremely helpful. I'm 34 and I'm planning on learning how to ice skate. I've tried a bit of inline skating but never ice skating. I've always wanted to skate and maybe learn hockey. Grew up playing football, baseball and street basketball. I really wish I could have traded my football gear in for hockey gear growing up. Oh well never too late to learn.

Hey! I know how to inline skate as well, been doing it for about a year and a half... I wonder how different it feels? Like... is it harder to keep balance?

[@lisha955]

I just went ice skating for the first time yesterday and these tips do help. I recommend holding the bars for support. It was really hard but if you decide to move away from the walls I recommend holding hands of your partner. It helps a lot .

[@anitaduskova6273]

Realistically if this is your first hour ever on skates you will barely move from the wall - concentrate on having your kness bent and weight slightly forward 101 in not falling too much. To get better - have same distance between knees and ankles - aim is that your ankles are not bent in an angle, but more straight below you when you are gliding forward - will really help you lengthen your slide 😉 Good luck!

[@somemusician3832]

[@anbuprodigy5122]

Yesterday was my first time skating. I really DID not know how to stop, so I created a method in which I circled in a small area till I was stable (this caused me to fall at least 4 times)..but the good thing is I was off the walls after just 20 minutes of experimenting. The only way to become better is by continuing to skate, so I plan on paying my 15$ at least twice a month in hopes of becoming a better skater!

[@Barry7777777]

I skated yesterday for the first time in 50 years - and I think the first thing to cover should be padding, protective headgear and knowing where the nearest Walgreens is - they carry several kinds of heating pads! When you take your first fall at an ice rink, you won't believe that anything could possibly be that hard. DAMN my shoulder hurts ~~~

[@noorallawati5390]

I hope the extra tips would make learning better. I’m 28 and started my first ever ice skating lesson today starting with posture. I felt awkward wearing hands & elbows guards but yeah safety first. It was not smooth 😂😂😂 the coach makes it look effortless but damn those swizzles, slaloms, even a basic break are hard! 😂😂😂 left leg pushing in that 2-foot glide is .. BUT, i am excited to practice and see how I am after a month. I am legit scared of getting hurt and trying to overcome this cause you can’t do a thing in that case lol

I taught my self how to skate without needing a tutorial the only thing my friend gave me a random clue was something to do sideways XD And it turned out to be good :D

[@NecromancerTO]

How did you reach yourself ?

[@mariannatheron7363]

Hello there, you don't think protective gear with apply to beginner?

[@IceCoachOnline]

Yes, and in some places it is a requirement. However in the UK it is not a requirement and more often than not nobody wears any (which I can't say I agree with, and even ice rinks don't offer any). The video was aimed at people putting skates on and getting on the ice without any training or any protective gear.

[@kolapyellow7631]

Why my arm pit, rib cages ache, i skate with my feet not rib cages. My feet ache a lot, but after a good night rest, I'll try again this weekend. This is a great tip.

This is what is waiting for me for the oncoming winter, can't wait 🫣 thanks mate!

[@FrostBeauty]

You are the first one I see saying that the T stop is the simplest xD

[@IceCoachOnline]

Sometimes it can be down to personal preference. If you can comfortably put your weight into one foot and keep your balance then dragging your foot behind you will not be too difficult. If you are not very comfortable on one foot then perhaps the snowplough stop would be better.

[@baileyb1821]

Very helpful guide to getting up. Thank you.

[@mossmortis]

This is really helpful, thank you. I remember when I was a kid and the person who was teaching how to skate and do the 't-stop', but she taught us that you have to lift your other foot and place it in front of your other foot to stop, but of course that wasn't right and if you did that you'd fall.

[@IceCoachOnline]

Roosa Saarela the stop you are referring to is one that is sometimes referred to as a “show stop”. It’s a much higher level stop and lower level skaters generally find it quite hard. It looks really cool when you master it!

[@karen._.skates9078]

Like your profile Picture. Lol😂

this is really helpful thank you ! also 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

[@jerrytravelstead1075]

Getting up from a fall is not easy for this beginner. In fact, I have to drag myself to the wall and then stand up using the wall as a skate stopper. Keeping the first skate still while trying to stand up has proved to not be possible for me so far.

[@kolapyellow7631]

Hello, what ice skates would you recommend for beginners?

[@IceCoachOnline]

Which country are you based in? Different brands are easier to get in different countries.. Most companies offer a good beginner boot that comes with a basic blade attached, which is normally very good for people wanting to try out something better than a rental without breaking the bank!

[@abbybeight6569]

So is ice skating similar to roller skating

[@Cristty004]

waih no but they both depend greatly on your balance if you know how to rollerblade you already got down your balance form which will help you skate on ice much easier.

[@abbybeight6569]

Cristty004 thanks

[@dinoo1099]

I struggle on ice even though I inline skate

[@tiffanywanene5160]

My coach says not to hold on to the wall or the boarder

[@IceCoachOnline]

Your coach is correct! If you are taking lessons and learning to skate you should avoid holding on. However, the video takes into account complete beginners who are perhaps visiting the ice rink for the first time and may not have supervision. For this reason we take a safety first approach when giving the advice.

That's not how you get up from the ice!! Sit on your butt, put both hands on the ice left and right, push yourself up and simultaneously pull both your skates underneath you. Then almost all at once lift your hands from the ice, push yourself up from the ice with your legs and 3 turn or spin yourself into a final backwards glide.
