"that way you won't hurt yourself AS MUCH" 😂

[@katethackery9911]

Thanks for the tips. I'm sitting in a&e waiting to get forehead stitches/glue because my new skates have picks and I have been learning forward all this time

[@godjhaka7376]

Man, so happy I'm vegan because we don't get injured like that to need stitches, and we heal and recover fast like wolverine

1. dorsiflex after pushing out 2. dont look down, weight up over feet 3. relax if you have to fall, hips back, arms forward, bent knees

[@korim6025]

I tripped over my toes and I went FLYING

[@IceCoachOnline]

Every skater, no matter what level they are or how many medals they have, has definitely done this a lot!

[@mimisolo7778]

Happened to everyone

[@rayeechel]

Just the video I needed! Thank you!

[@IceCoachOnline]

Happy to hear it helped you!

[@xiaoyan1625]

I tried skating before but never thought about this. Very useful tip for beginners!

[@reenas7695]

Thank you!!! This seriously helped me because I kept tripping on the toe pick and didn't know how not to till today 😅

[@creampuffkittens]

this man gives me anxiety every time he trips on purpose

[@godjhaka7376]

That's a personal problem of not mastering your own mind and self, and letting anyone else easily control you. 🤣

[@PassatVariant-ff8it]

Thanks

[@mimisolo7778]

Remember to not look down, where your eyes are looking is where your brain thinks you want to go 🙃

[@lolitap92]

Thank you for the tips ! It was very helpful. And if you have time, can you please make a video about how to avoid to fall down on the back ? Sorry for my bad english ^^'

[@IceCoachOnline]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Your suggestion is a really good one! We will definitely add that to the list of planned content. Thank you! Also, your English was good :)

[@kuromiaa111]

Thanks for this, when I firts tried figure skating I just got a toe pick and I hit my butt and fell down 🥲

[@tutablet7226]

Could you tell me if skating backwards is less weary for the knees? I'm a couple months after an injury but wishing to skate.

[@IceCoachOnline]

That's a tough question to answer as it depends on what the injury is and how severe it is. Our personal recommendation is to make sure you take the time to heal correctly. Follow the advice of a physiotherapist or doctor. If you come back from injury too soon, your risk of reinjuring yourself is very high. We understand it is frustrating to wait, we have been there ourselves, but in the long run healing up properly is the priority.

trying to not trip on my toe pick next time i skate so i don’t CRASH on my knees cos i fell yesterday and i banged my knee rlly hard 😭

[@katx9411]

Yea both my knees are bruised. A few days ago I fell forward TWICE, landing on both kneecaps 😱

*Laughs in hockey skates*

[@emitty5469]

How do you stay off your toes and keep gliding backwards in backwards crossovers? My teacher told me I lost my speed because my toepick slowed it down.

[@michellenelson8489]

It's gonna be a bit uncomfortable but try and lean back almost in a sitting position. It also helps to bend your knees a bit more as your crossing over. Hope this helps!

[@jose_reyes1111]

It was till the 5th time I watched this video that I realized it was a tutorial video 😏

[@IceCoachOnline]

🤣

[@amandaputerbaugh4413]

There's 3 tips.. where's the rest of the video, showing tips 4 through 100? Because I swear my blades are made of only toe picks. Sharpen my blades? You mean sharpen my toe picks, that's all I have. Step 1 foot on the ice... toe pick catches before I even get the 2nd guard off. How is it even possible? I have riedell eclipse blades, vega. The 2 end points of the toe picks are longer than the others, I might just need to try different blades. Smaller toe picks. How many times did I type toe pick in this comment? Not enough to complain about mine!
