My First Adult Silver Figure Skating Competition!

[@maddy.doesart]

My god this is beautiful you are a true performer. The choreography with this song. I can’t explain it in any other way other than this is exactly why I started to skate- for moments like this. You looked BEAUTIFUL. Good job and as another comment pointed out I think it’s fascinating to see that you jump and spin on different sides. Awesome ❤

[@padmajacakwin2026]

Such a great song! Also, beautifully skated. You're a very elegant figure skater!

[@Justexisting25]

That was so beautiful I wish to be this good ❤

[@laurienorthland5052]

Very thoughtful moves to match the music! Amazing spin!

[@TylesBrain]

Love the music choice The whole thing is so joyous

[@Heather89Anne]

Beautiful!! I just loved it!

[@Завязалье]

Очень красивый прокат! Жаль, что лутц не получился. Это было неожиданно. Но главное, что дальнейшая программа не пострадала. Она была великолепна! Поздравляю!

[@amandacrowley6245]

Your skating is SO beautiful. You're my role model!!

[@alicepost8644]

Amazing girl!!!!!🎉❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽😻 super well done!!!! May I ask you how long have you been skating? I ask because I am an adult just starting (2months now) and I love watch other adults succeeding like you! It gives me drive 😻

[@steveherbert9575]

Nice extension and pointed toes. You could do with more speed - you would have landed your lutz with some more speed. But it is harder when your doing a competition, mouth dry, legs like jelly. Nice skate and well done.

[@FrenchyOrhiane]

Beautiful lines !!!

[@emiliesmith9917]

It is so interesting that you spin clockwise and jump counterclockwise!

[@emiliesmith9917]

I also met you at this competition- I was wearing purple too, I was the one that looked too young to compete adult

[@Adultskater]

@@emiliesmith9917 oh!!! I remember you!!! Nice to meet you online !! 🥰

[@ZuzanaUlrich]

I do it the same way 😆 Weird, but comfortable ☺️ Nice to see someone doing it as well.

[@SassySkaters]

Hi guys! I am also a clockwise skater, jumps and spins. I hear that is the minority. Now I'm learning that split direction skaters exist and apparently that is even rarer! FUN 😮 Interesting how the mind and body works so differently for people. Much love and blessings to all my fellow adult skaters!

[@andreaelizabeth5494]

@@SassySkatersusually clockwise skaters are left handed

[@muzikveoyun37]

When have you first started to learn to skate?

[@bigbuggie5]

This was very good. I’m 41 and thinking of getting started. I loved all those skills you showed. What level as an adult do you start competing?

[@Adultskater]

I started with Pre-Bronze and I’ve been working my way up to Silver 🥰

[@laurienorthland5052]

I was self taught, going to take official lessons to compete at 42!

[@SassySkaters]

I started at 40. With continuous lessons I would have been competing at 6 months in at the adult pre-bronze level. 🎉 you can do it!❤

[@steffibaker2201]

Really nice! What age level are you skating?

[@kelaex]

well done, and you learned this in only four weeks? (i'm just going through all your videos right now haha)

[@Adultskater]

Yes! I learned the program in 4 weeks! It was such a challenge - I almost thought I had bitten off more than I could chew for a minute there haha

[@janetslater129]

Adult skater here as well, and you did amazing! Are you working on an axel yet? If so, how is that coming along with jumping one way, and spinning the other (I'm a leftie, btw)?

[@cedmonds525]

Great job! How graceful! Did u start as an adult or had you competed younger?

[@Adultskater]

I started as an adult :)

[@kristinakinnunen7094]

Why are you spinning and jumping on different directions? That's a wrong way to do it. I'm suprised that you were allowed to do that in a competition.

[@Adultskater]

There’s actually no rule that says it’s wrong, but I agree you really shouldn’t learn to do spins and jumps in opposite directions. You’re absolutely allowed to do it in competition, hence me doing so 😂 unfortunately for me, I taught myself how to jump and spin as an adult and didn’t know that I was doing this until it was far, far too late. I’m trying to learn to spin both ways at this point but for now my lefty spins are far superior to my righty ones and it makes no sense to do a worse spin for competition.

[@roseduste80]

Sonja Henie, Carol Heiss, John Curry, and Marius Negrea all jumped a different direction than they spun. Skate whichever direction feels right to you.
