Hi i have been looking around for a Pocket sized Skate sharpener, just to keep the ice skate blade sharp between lessons. Is it worth me buying one, or should i keep sharpening the blades with a machine every 8 hours on the ice.
Thanks

I stopped skating about 6 years ago, and was paying $30 - $35 per 25 minutes for a lesson. What are they charging now?

When you respond, please let me know what level you are so I have a basis for how much coaches are charging for different levels.

Thanks!

Everytime I try I get a pop-up asking for a user name and password. What's going on? I never needed one before.

They performed this at US Nationals and it is a mix of three Latino songs (the first is fast, the second is slow, and the third is fast.). Here is the link to the performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OqjLTPU0Qs

Since this morning saw the start of the 2007 world figure skating championships in Tokyo, I was wondering who you all thought would win this year, feel free to give the gold silver and bronze medals!

Hello, i started skating lessons just a few weeks ago and i was really really enjoying it at the start. Today i had a lesson and i dont know why really but i feel quite disheartened. I felt good about todays lesson because i had been practising all week so i knew i was able to do the tasks we had to perform, but i got onto the ice and it felt like i couldnt skate at all, i dont know whether the ice was more slippery, i had to change my rental skates twice because they were totally blunt (much to the annoyance of the skate hire girl..oops) but it felt different today anyway. I learned some new techniques which i picked up quick so its not that im not interested and i dont want to do it but maybe i feel like i cant do it. I also feel as though the instructor doesnt really teach us, just shows us and we copy. Ive had in mind some skates i want for a while but now i think maybe i shouldnt bother getting them, what should i do, should i give up or just consider this a bad day???

I'm not necessarily looking to become a hockey player or a figure skater. I just want to learn how to skate well enough so I can play the occasional hockey game on the ice with my friends, or just go for the occasional leisure skate.

How long do you think it would take to learn some basic skating skills?

I really cant get my front leg high enough in my split jump. I do a mohawk tap into my jump and I can do a left leg forward split but I can't do it in my jump. Don't recommend ballet or asking my ballet teacher because I have.

please dont answer with ballet or yoga. i do both already. i want some specific exercises to raise the height of my spiral. Its not bad at the moment but i saw a girl at the rink the other day with such a lovely spiral and my target is to do one like hers. i already use the weight technique (practising off ice with ankle weights) but does any one have any really good ones?

thankyou!!

Do you have any better suggestions? Thanks.

Hiya, ok don't laugh!! I'm new to figure skating, a total beginner and i just know im gonna be such a pain in the bum asking lots of questions, hope you don't mind helping me! Ok so, yesterday when i went for a skate just for practice in the public sessions, there were tonnes of hockey players skating around super quick etc, well i can skate around in the circle fine but i cant seem to stop quick enough, see what happened was...one of the hockey guys skated right in front of me about 50mph and i couldn't stop or skate around him in time..this resulted in me grabbing his arm, realising he was a total stranger, letting go and falling crashing to the ground (ouch!) if i could stop i could have prevented that....any tips?? ps: that snow plough thing takes me ages to stop i dont know why lol, thanks!

I just got back to the ice today after three months of healing from a fractured tibia. I want to know some exercises that will help me with balance and Stability. I Started with gliding and I got in a couple crossovers but I noticed that I can't glide on one foot as long as I could pre-fracture. If you can help that would be awesome.
