Figure Skating Spinners?
October 13th, 2009 Posted by: admin
Spins are the hardest things to learn for me so I was considering an off ice spinner.
Would this work for practicing my sit spin and camel? And also how do you use it? Are there any brands you recommend?

Proflex boots & Paramount blades (Figure Skating)?
October 10th, 2009 Posted by: admin
I have been skating for 3 years now and im currently working on my axel, layback spin, and flying camel. I just bought the Jackson Proflex Boots with the Paramount blades. They havent come yet but i heard the boots were hard to get used to. I just wanted to know if any of you guys had any feedback on how the boots and/or the blades are. I dont want what you’ve heard about them, i want experience please.
Thanks alot!

Am I hopeless for figure skating?
October 1st, 2009 Posted by: admin
Well, recently, after watching my friend figure skate, I decided I wanted to figure skate as well. So, I borrowed a couple of books and started reading some, but haven’t finished all of them. Anyways, I found the sport so artistic and thrilling, I decided I wouldn’t give up if I started. But the problem is, I’m so inflexible that I can’t even reach my toes. =[ Because of this inflexibility, do you think I won’t be able to figure skate? I would really like to do this sport a lot, but I’m afraid my inflexibility will stop me. Please answer.

hi everyone! im 16 this year, had 4 figure skating lessons (started as an absolute beginner), skate once a week for 3 hours each with a 30min private lesson.
so far i have learnt forward/backward swizzles, forward stroking, forward clockwise/counterclockwise crossovers, one foot snowplow stop, two foot glide, one foot glide, two foot turn, started to learn the basic backward skating action.
5 Commentsso far i have learnt forward/backward swizzles, forward stroking, forward clockwise/counterclockwise crossovers, one foot snowplow stop, two foot glide, one foot glide, two foot turn, started to learn the basic backward skating action.

So I have this knee injury from figure skating and I don’t know what to do help?
September 17th, 2009 Posted by: admin
So I figure skater I have had this bad knee pain for a maybe 3 week possibly a month, and I thought it was getting better and it just got worth. Yesterday I fell on it really hard and I had a hard time walking on and skating on it. Then today I went skating again and fell on it and again. At random times it just is so much pain and I just fall. So I don’t know what to do. Because I am trying to make a competition roster for my the synchronized skating team i am on, and the competition is on Saturday, and then shortly afterward is sectionals and in March I want to do this competition as a singles skater. And I just got injured at the worth time and I have no idea what to do. I just want to skate.
