Shopping For My New Figure Skates! | Haul, Breaking Them In, Boot Fitting | LN x NYC

[@rachel-hz3bh]

figure skater here :) wear your hard guards when you are walking around the rink in your skates (like when you get off the ice) but dry them off with a towel and put your soft guards on when you're done :)

[@TheLaurenNorris]

Thank you so so much!!

[@Lavenderbaby]

Was just about to comment the exact same thing! 😂

[@idakishere]

This protects your blades from rusting

[@sprayz390]

my rink and blade tech calls soft guards blade pajamas :)

[@RachPlaysRoblox]

We call the soft guards soakers because when you finish drying your skates they are obviously still a little bit wet and cold and the soakers soak up all of the moisture left on the blade. ❤

[@joannleboeuf1739]

In todays times it is very rare to find a young man like Will, who so clearly loves you. He is so attentive to you and your needs and wants. Lauren you need to keep this one . The two of you are very obviously made for each other. Keep in mind that I am a 74 year old grandmother of a granddaughter who is your age. I hope that she finds a gentleman like Will to take care of her like every young woman wants to be taken care of. Please pass this on to him as men like him are RARE to find and his mother should be so very proud of him ❤

[@TheFigureSkatingCheerleader]

I noticed this too! I hope my daughters find young men like this one day ❤️- Katie (The Bush Sisters Mom)

[@miawestbrook743]

While your comment is kind and very sweet with nice intentions, it undermines how much of a “catch” Lauren is. I think it’s “just as rare” to find a young girl like Lauren who is committed and passionate about her job, is financially independent, doesn’t post provocative pictures, discuss adult or sexual topics, or entertain other men. Loving and attentive people are out there and can easily be found by not settling for less and by making expectations known upfront. I think women struggle and settle for less than they deserve due to societal pressures or having a “time-clock”. Ultimately, they miss out on all of the great men out there due to similar reasons. Anyways, I’m a silent watcher and hope anyone that reads this knows you can find a love like theirs. Respect yourself and you’ll find an equal. I’m wishing wellness to your granddaughter, Lauren & Will, and all others. ☺️

[@juliasthename26]

More ice skating videos please! You’re glowing on the ice! I love how passionate you are about ice skating! So happy you found a hobby you love x

[@TheLaurenNorris]

Will do!! I will try and vlog it more 💖💖

[@christinehorowitz9305]

My daughter was a figure skater. I can tell you are hooked. I love that you have found this joy. I’d like to get back into it. Be prepared, the better you get the better boots and blades you need. By the time she was done (double jumps) boots and blades were running about $1,000. I hope you get a chance to compete in some adult competitions. Super fun!

[@christinehorowitz9305]

You put the blade covers on the minute you step off the ice. 😀

[@emilystratmoen590]

As a retired competitive skater, I’m living for your skating journey! Props to you and enjoy it!

[@makayla5227]

I’m a retired figure skater too, I just hope she doesn’t get a eating disorder like I did 😂 it’s not the best sport for mental health imo.

[@taylorkennedy2517]

Lauren! As a lifelong figure skater, I'm so excited to follow you on this journey

[@TheMorganGibson]

I have been loving watching your ice skating journey videos, they're so fun to me and makes me wanna start a fun little hobby!! Thank you so so much for taking us along on this little fun journey with you!! You're the best and you ARE being a real life ice princess 💖

[@shaundegilchrist5205]

I love the passion for your hobby and the fact that you're having fun with it plus Will is by your side supporting you is awesome. Calling Will "Willard" lol

[@readswithgab]

absolutely love watching your adult figure skating journey!! from one adult skater to another, just a little tip - wear leg warmers or your skating socks over your boots to cover in the laces! it helps keep them in any case they untie while you're skating :)

[@Ally8]

The taxi driver in the intro makes me smile every time.

[@LoversLane16]

you belong on the ice! you look so comfortable there. I love watching you enjoy and rediscover your love for skating. Love the new skates! As a ballerina I can relate, its like getting a new pair of pointe shoes.

[@smilingeva]

I recently got into ice skating myself for the first time and have been loving following you along on this journey as well!

[@ph0t0graph]

Jackson Freestyles are also my pair of first good skates :D Hope you will have a great time skating with them! Already three years ago I also started my adult skating journey.

[@AnaLuisaZimmermann]

Loved the video! Figure skater from Brazil here, and its so nice to see other adult skaters! ❤️

[@TheFigureSkatingCheerleader]

Hi Lauren!! I'm Katie, Lauren's mom! (Lauren is my figure skaters name too, who is one half of the Bush Sisters lol) They make hot pink skating socks too! I can send you a link if you want to see the ones she uses! I was a skater myself and my daughter has been skating since she could walk! Happy to answer any questions you have about figure skating! (Also - make sure you don't store your skates with the guards on - the blades rust quick!) 😊 I also have some great tips and know the deets on figure skating pants that go over the boot! Let me know! So excited to watch your figure skating journey!

[@ITSMEDONNA]

Omg Lauren u are literally a breath of fresh air❤ you are just the sweetest cutest doll face I swear ❤❤

[@TheLaurenNorris]

Eek thank you so much!!!💖💖

[@xnibbybooksavage]

@@TheLaurenNorrisyeah you are a breath of first air as you should keep pursuing skating like would love to see more of those videos like never give up on the dream girl

[@kristywun]

❄🤍⛸this is so exciting!!! i remember getting my first boots and it felt like a long time dream come true for me too. as someone who also makes skating vlogs i'm so glad youtube recommended this bc i can't wait to keep up with your skating journey!!!! the pink theme is such a slay (i have an icy blue theme) and what you were talking about with the blade i think the new blade's rocker is a lot more pronounced so you can really feel the balls of your feet especially when you turn and spin! :)) 🩷🩷

[@elenaspano5067]

the horror on my face when you walked back to your stuff on bare blades!!! make sure you put your guards on as soon as you leave the ice, even if you are walking a short distance. btw, I'm new to this channel and loving it so far!! excited to delve into more of your content!! good luck with your skating journey, it's such a fun and rewarding sport!

[@maggieveri]

Lauren, you need to meet Jordan Bauth,,, she's here on KZbin. She is a professional figure skater and works on a cruise but is originally from Buffalo NY. Perhaps you guys could meet up. So happy and proud of you for being the girl that just went for it

[@melissapeters3570]

Came here to say the same thing!!

[@YoujustgotJ1NXED]

I remember buying my freestyles as my first figure skates I was so happy! Tip for jackson boots, while breaking them in you may need to leave the top hook unlaced to allow for more bend. Also when lacing around the hooks, go on TOP of the hook and around the bottom, this will allow the hooks to hold the lace tightness instead of just directing the lace. Enjoy, you look great out there.

[@bethanygraceeeeee]

You really are living your best life out in New York! Hope you’re restocking the city kitty sweaters!! 💗

[@April_B.W]

Great job…I love watching you and Will explore life in NYC.

[@stephaniewilliams8169]

⛸️ You looked great out there with your new skates!

[@1219Jeffrey]

Hey Lauren ! Being a former weekly newspaper reporter who covered Local Figure Skating years ago, your enthusiasm for the sport as an an adult is contagious !! Why don't you push Will into giving skating a serious try ?

[@cynthiabutler3363]

I am glad that you found something you enjoy doing. Glad to see that Will went with you and supporting you and looked like he was having fun on the ice too. I hope to see more videos of other things you are doing in New York and what are your plans for the future are you still thinking about buying a home just maybe a life update and what your plans are.

[@jamiestuckert2]

OBSESSED can’t wait to see you in January on the ice!!!! 💖💖💖💖

[@TheLaurenNorris]

You know I'll be working hard! 💖

[@velvetstonebraker9874]

I love this journey so much! Please keep us updated ❤

[@KingKaylea]

⛸️ I love watching your content no matter what! You feel like such a genuine friend 💗

[@kybalionxahs]

You have really good posture you're gonna get far in figure skating. A million repetitions makes one feel less anxious on the ice cause it becomes muscle memory. Accepting that you're gonna fall and just embracing the pain beforehand makes you less scared of falling. And the more exhausted you get from training for 2-4 hours the more brave you will feel on the ice. Thats probably not healthy but physical exhaustion takes away anxiety for real. I get so tired and depressed that Im not getting something right that I dont care if Im hurting myself on the ice. I hope you are kinder to yourself.

[@Marissa_kathleen_]

I started skating as an adult last year, and I live on Long Island! So cool that I found your channel!

[@BreezyRenee333]

You're such an adorable, bright light in this world. I love the excitement and happiness on your face when you're skating.

[@TheLaurenNorris]

😊 thank you

[@lindsaynelson9561]

For just starting, you are picking it up so fast and doing great (I skated from when I was 9 yrs old to 18 yrs old)!!! For your spins, make sure you have all your pressure in the ball of your foot and swizzles, your posture is awesome but make sure you don't go too much further than hip width apart because it will be hard to come back together and bend those knees to gain power! I'm so excited for your journey and hope you post more about it!!!

[@nbscsynchro]

Figure skater for 20 years and coach here - don’t forget to put your hard guards on as soon as you get off the ice or it kind of defeats the point. Also, I wouldn’t tuck the leggings into the boot, put them over! Lastly, work towards tying the top section of the skate looser. You should leave 2 fingers of space. It’ll be an adjustment but ultimately will allow you to have more ankle bend and progress into harder skills. Happy skating ⛸️

[@TheLaurenNorris]

Thank you! Do I wipe the ice off before putting on the hard guards?

[@pamm9439]

This just makes me so happy. I love having my adult dance classes and I’m equally as excited getting all my dance things as you are about skating. I’m totally enjoying following your journey 🎉

[@nicolewilliams6010]

I'm 22 and started skating in december and we have the same skates! It's so fun to know we're on this journey together!

[@JuicyJuice1116]

[@ansleyhaynie7551]

I have loved watching your ice skating journey! I’m so proud of you for doing something you dreamed of as a child, seeing you on the ice reminds me so much of Ice Princess 💕🥰

[@Darklink7884]

I saw your Instagram reel this morning and you said you were having a bad day. I hope your day continues to get better.

[@TheLaurenNorris]

Thank you so much!!🥹💖

[@xnibbybooksavage]

@@TheLaurenNorrisyeah I know but you should also talk about autism as some people out there have it and you should talk about it in your future vlogs

Please do another skating update! Love to see the journey ❤

Lauren - We're so glad your enjoying your new Jackson Freestyle skates. The Freestyle Skates are $379, Figure Sharpening $30, Terri Soakers are $20 and the Rockerz hard guards are $40. TY - David

Love how will spends time with you and does things with you. And vice Versa

[@Blue-dg8vb]

These videos make me so happy! It’s been such a pleasure watching your adult figure skating journey, I feel like I am living out my dream through your videos hahaha 😂 I love figure skating! we don’t have an ice rink where we live, we do have a roller rink (they do artistic skating which is very similar to figure skating just on roller skates). I used to go all the time as a kid and loved it! But also danced which took up most of my time. These videos are almost making me want to go back and take lessons again 💗

[@patsydf]

When you get to the top eyelets put the lace around the hook top to bottom and not the other way around, it will lock the lace in place more.

[@blancacordero3998]

I honestly enjoy every video you upload ⛸️

[@TheLaurenNorris]

Thank you!!!🥹💖

[@elviraalemanvieyra4546]

I'm so happy for you. Figure skating looks like fun your skates are pretty.

[@myramoore9805]

⛸⛸ You and Will make the cutest couple. He's a gentleman and treats you so special. I like that you will include him in so much you do and Willard is a great sport. You must call Will Willard when you are serious. You've done it twice when you guys were in the park with snowballs. Love your videos, love going shopping with you, and truly love watching you and Will together. Love you two so much.

[@annm6181]

I am watching you pick out skates very cute! Make sure you put your blade guards on right away before you get off ice because you will dull your blades. My daughter needs new skates. She has Jackson Premieres. RIEDELL skates tend to run more narrow then Jacksons...& Edea is very popular!

[@goodvibetribe7988]

Love your content Lauren! 🩷 I grew up on a lake in Alaska and we would make an ice skating rink every winter and Zamboni it and everything! I have the best memories skating until I also broke a bone. I’ve not really gotten back into it but this makes me want to so bad! I think I’ll pull out my old skates ⛸️💞

[@geenafagan6205]

You should keep a hand towel in your bag for wiping down the blades before the soakers to avoid rust ❤

[@NeonBlueSnow]

I'm getting fitted for new skates tomorrow and I'm so excited!! so thank you for this vlog lol it was very fun to watch

[@TheLaurenNorris]

Have fun!💖💖

U should deffo get leg warmers to put over the boot it’ll be so CUTE!!!

Love this so much - Will reminds me of my daughters boyfriend 😊❤ He is so kind and loving to you, and I love watching all your adventures ⛸️

[@MHSMagicLuver]

⛸️ I’ve been ice skating twice (I’m a little older at 32). Once in Canada and most recently in Wyoming with my husbands family. Of course I’m horrible. we moved from Fl to SC in May and there’s an ice rink so next year I would love to take lessons to the park because I think it’s just so beautiful. Also I’m obsessed with pink as well and I was watching this while doing cardio at the gym and I’m like you with the pink. Pink blender bottle, attachments for the cables, wrist straps, bag, jacket. ❤️ definitely my thing. I want to buy a pink and black outfit for when I go Skinn next in Wyoming too. I’ve already had it picked out just need to wait until I get a job. Will be so cute even though I’m also not good at skiing but I’ve done that 3x in my life 😂

[@chi2om]

love it. I have terrible balance so I don't think I will ever try to figure skate. Funny enough, I do have roller skates and wish to use them more. Super fun once you're really good at them

Hi I’m a little bit late but I recommend now if you didn’t change your skates yet to upgrade or rebuy freestyles I really recommend after I bought Jackson freestyle I upgrade to edeas but Jackson’s are also amazing

Dont get frustrated breaking in your new skates, it does take time. Gel ankle sleeves help. You got the boot and blade set up i would have newer students buy. :)

[@emmaranzetta8461]

Please wear the hard guards coming off the ice, dry your skates with a microfiber cloth, and then put on the soakers. Other than that, you are doing a great job taking care of your skates, they should last a while.

I love this for you, Lauren! I’m not an ice skater but I was always fascinated with figure skating!! My real name is Sonja and I was named after the famous German Figure Skater Sonja Heine! So that is my connection! LOL! I look forward to seeing you skate an entire figure skating routine! ⛸️⛸️❤

I was so tempted to comment in the earlier video that getting professionally fitted is a must, especially since you're not going to know your skate size based on your shoe size. But I restrained myself. 😅 And then in another previous video I was tempted to tell you not to wear normal socks. LOLOL. Hope you love them. Please keep us posted on the specific things you're working on, for those of us who figure skate and want to know. 😃

When I wanted to get off the subway from times square on my first day of my NYC vacation, I also saw a really unpleasant picture right on the platform. So I can understand the nervousness. But since I come from a big city myself and ride the subway every day, there's hardly anything I haven't seen by now. You get used to it. Funnily enough, I'm more afraid of taking an Uber or a taxi because then I'm alone and trapped in a car with a stranger. That's why I would always prefer public transportation.

[@Zahraazaarour_]

[@Angel62866]

Hi there! I'm also getting into skating more as an adult, what blades came on your Freestyles? Ive noticed there's a couple different versions with different blades, it'll say directly on the side of them! I've been debating the Freestyles myself and a few other options, I need to go somewhere for a fitting but has been hard to find by me!

[@jaajames]

I'm visiting NYC soon. Where do you go to get your skates and also what rink do you skate at?

[@CaraMarie13]

You fell for the savings on second hand skates lol. I went to the same shop and met with Joe and he got me fitted. Thankfully I never wore the used one because I didn't realize you needed to size down so the skates were too big. I love my skates. They were a good price but definitely pricey. But am not complaining since this pair will be the cheapest one I get. When I get to the freestyle classes I'll definitely need to upgrade since Joe said my Jackson Elle are only good for waltz jumps at the most.

[@Katie.rose_lau]

I’ve never had Jackson skates I’ve only had riedell and edea so it’s fun to see other skates but prepare yourself for $1000 skates 😂
