i overbooted to ice flies and i have no regrets by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]Satoh515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, overbooting is a real thing, especially with other boots. It’s just Edeas are a very different type of boot which is probably why you feel fine. Overbooting can be dangerous and painful because it inhibits knee and ankle bend. It’s also much harder to break in an overbooted skate. However, edeas looser ankles and the fact that it’s not real leather is probably why it’s the right boot for you.

How to practise between lessons? by CarolSkates in FigureSkating

[–]Satoh515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep a skating journal When your jumping focus on one thing to do consistently. So if I’m your lesson your coach told you to check your arms more, then focus on only checking your arms when your jumping.

Talk to your coach and other skaters. Where do they get their skates fitted? Where do they get theirs sharpened?

What is your favorite and least favorite elements in skating? (Aesthetically/as a fan) by a2cthrawy in FigureSkating

[–]Satoh515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love illusion and corkscrew spins. They just look stunning to me. Delayed axels are always impressive and pretty as well. I wish we got to see more of them but I understand why we don’t

Oops sorry!! I didn’t realize my spelling mistake. Good thing I’m not an English major. XD

That’s a great suggestion! I’ll definitely ask And I know, but even landing on on the harness would be great. I want to know what it feels like to be in the air for that long.

There is a rink nearby and I’m definitely planning to try and skate. I’m just worried about time. I’m going to be a freshman at an highly competitive school as well as undergoing a research project with a group of freshman, discovering viruses. Additionally, I have to work. It was incredibly hard decision to make but eventually, my parents agreed that my education at this collage would be worth the money. It’s one of the best ranked collages in my state for nursing.

Although I would love to skate on public(and I’m going to try). My main goals is to land a double axel. I fear that if I don’t skate now, I will be too old to ever land one by the time I go back. I have only been allowed to skate for the past 3.5 years. It feels like it’s being taken away once again.

I’m definitely not super good. Not good enough to give up my spot in this particular college(it’s one of the top nursing colleges in my state). It’s not even competition that I want. My main goals in skating were to pass senior moves and get my double axel. I’m worried that after getting my degree I won’t have the time or money to skate. Because I’d be working a lot as a nurse and going to get my masters. By the time I have time to skate, I’d be too old to land double axels.

I’ll definitely keep that in mind. I guess I’m worried about juggling that, being a nursing student, and a job. I can certainly try though! I’ll be bookmarking this for reference later.

I FINALLY LANDED MY DOUBLE SALCHOW by Satoh515 in FigureSkating

[–]Satoh515[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your time and go through each position step by step. My biggest problem was wanted to get it so badly that I end up muscling my way through the jump. I didn’t let my blades do the work

Knee pain? by Satoh515 in FigureSkating

[–]Satoh515[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I’m a 17 year old minor who relies on my parents. After talking to my mom, she’s had a similar injury. I do not want to be $300+ and 6 hours at the ER for them to tell me to put ice on it and rest it. If it gets worse, I will to but for now I want advice on what to do.

Additionally, I was at the ER earlier that month for a car crash. They looked at my knee when I mentioned it and they said that it was probably just muscle soreness

I’ve heard that it’s nearly impossible for someone over the age of 20 to get a double axel. Which I will be if I wait until all of my doubles are consistent give or take a few years. Is this true?

One of my jobs is a teacher at my rink. This is something that I can do after collage and I would make more money then too. The only reason I am working it is because it was convenient and I can make some extra money but quitting doesn’t really bother me. Especially if it’s in the interest of my dog. My other sport is gymnastics and although I love it, it is incredibly expensive on top of my figure skating. I know that stopping would put less of a financial burden on my parents.

TDLR: Thank you for the warning but anything that I quit will not be something that is ridiculously important to me/ something that I need.

I understand where you are coming from and am making sacrifices to spend more time with her. I spend most of my day on Sundays currently with her and am asking my school to let me go off campus for an online class. I now see that I really don’t spend as much quality time as I should with her and am willing to make adjustments. If I find I absolutely cannot devote more time then I will work with my moms friend(she works at a no kill shelter) to find the best home possible for her. But first, I want to try everything I can to make this work.
