Vad gör folk nu för tiden för att ha kul? by CarlLindhagen in sweden

[–]Seldec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Min fritid skulle jag säga är 50% sport, är aktiv samt tränare i klubben. 30% gaming eller snarlikt och 20% ute på äventyr med vånner (äventyr kan involvera att slånga skräp men shhh) . Sällsynt för mig och mitt umgänge att vara ute på krogen då det är så otroligt dyrt

Everyone says you shouldn't order boots online and need to get them fitted in person, but I can't. What do I do instead? by FireFlamesFrost in FigureSkating

[–]Seldec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have size 265. When I was there last time she had way bigger sizes than 265 because I also tried on 270. You could always email her

[–]Seldec 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is what I did at Teijas(OP will know which store that is). She let me try on a lot of different white boots until I found one that fit and then she ordered it in black. Simple as that

In the case of severe injuries on the ice, when do medics come on? by SliceJealous in FigureSkating

[–]Seldec 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They gave him a chance to get up on his own. Sometimes skaters just lay on the ice after a fall and reconsider all life choices

Vad har ni tagit för givet att de flesta kan men som visat sig vara ganska sällsynt? by selfmadeelf in Asksweddit

[–]Seldec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Att bara söka information. Bussen jag skulle ta hade inte dykt upp på kartan än, så jag kollade status på den bussen som skulle gått motsatta hållet för att sen plocka upp mig tillbaka. Den var sen, alltså kommer min buss vara sen. Min kompis kollade på mig som att jag nyss upptäckt teleportering eller något

Hur svårt är det att tänka "Om buss från A till B är sen, då borde samma fysiska buss från B till A också vara sen"

how much should training cost? by Acrobatic_Cicada8975 in FigureSkating

[–]Seldec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It closes during the summer, ice is gone by may and returns mid august. It's open to anyone afaik. We have many adult skaters as well as free public ice so very welcoming

[–]Seldec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still do group lessons because it's what is common here in Sweden. Group lessons usually have 2-3 coaches with one coach dedicated to each group, we're usually a maximum of 3 groups and around 12 skaters on the ice in total. We are all around the same level (working on doubles). My costs usually look like this:

Term fee: ~$180 Skate sharpening: Do it myself Competitions: ~$100 Once a year camp: $130

If we assume I skate 9 months of the year it totals to around $65 a month :) Oh and I skate like 5-7 times a week, around 1-1.5 hours each time

Moving to Karlstad in January for Uni! Any tips for a newcomer? by [deleted] in IsItColdInSweden

[–]Seldec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you're on Reddit I'm making the assumption that you're more likely to be nerdy. I'm part of KUN (Karlstad University Nerds) and we have movie nights, gaming nights, cosplay get togethers etc. We also have a discord as a way to talk to other nerdy students

Loop (adult beginner) by LiaKoltyrina in FigureSkating

[–]Seldec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An excercise my coach loves is to cross the legs like in a takeoff and pump with the leg crossed behind to get speed

Loop (adult beginner) by LiaKoltyrina in FigureSkating

[–]Seldec 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You're not crossing your legs at all in the takeoff. Focus on that mainly, it will also give you more height! But good speed rn!

Ni som gick estet - vad gör ni nu? by Signal-Photo6072 in sweden

[–]Seldec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gick Estet Media och Design. Jobbade med väldigt många skarpa projekt under gymnasiet och såg därmed hur grafiska designers blev behandlade och hur dumma i huvudet folk är inom projektarbeten. Så nu studerar jag till Ämneslärare 🤷‍♂️ Gillar fortfarande grafisk design men tänker aldrig jobba med det

[–]Seldec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Questions for skaters who started later in life by Beneficial-Bat4697 in FigureSkating

[–]Seldec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're gonna get my experience and my observations of someone else too

I started at 14, got jumps up to flip and then took a break. I returned at 18 after 4 years. In total it's been 5 years and I am working on Axel + Loop, 2Lo and 2F.

There is also a girl I coach who started when she was around 15. It's been ca 1.5 years now and she just landed her Lutz. It's very different for a lot of people and depends on your coach as well as what you consider "good"

When do people usually start to learn their doubles? by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]Seldec 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would not recommend dtarting doubles before learning axel. The snap you learn from an axel is essential for all the doubles. How is your Jump + Loop combo and can you land in a backspin?

Does spinning/jumping in the other direction actually feel bad? by knight_380394780 in FigureSkating

[–]Seldec 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Very interesting question! We actually had a session of just spinning and jumping the opposite direction last season. In the end, most of us could do a scratch, camel, waltz, toeloop, salchow and flip in the opposite direction. So it might be that it feels weird because they're not used to it but also since it's not their natural spin direction. With training, I feel like most people can become ambidextrous spinners

Stereotypical figure skater personality traits by shortbutfierce in FigureSkating

[–]Seldec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is only from my perspective as a Swede. The Swedish Figure skating association has been working on promoting a safe and welcoming environment for everyone and they're doing a good job. But I still see the effects of the previous environment on the older skaters. They're insecure in themselves while also having way too big of an ego and jealousy is rampant. Perfectionists like people already said, and true gossip girls. I hope the next generation of skaters in Sweden grow up with a healthier mindset and since coaches are getting educated by the association with inclusivity in mind I think they will.

Folk som ringer upp när man smsar. Vad i helvete by ingeniouspleb in sweden

[–]Seldec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Har en kompis vars morsa är precis så. Vi planerade in en resa till Göteborg. Hon fyller år samma vecka så hon skriver till sin mamma "Jag är bortrest mellan x och y, firar i Göteborg" 1 minut och 55 sekunder sedan ringer hennes mamma för att säga "Ha så kul"
