A Then/Now Comparison: My Skating

[TheCaljoy]

Very nice progression. Lovely video!

[Twirlt]

Your good :) Tjek out my sit spin

[pinkmushrooms15]

your spins are really good, but try and drop your hips down more as you go into sit spin so it's lower, then it'll be great!

keep up the good work! x

[likeomgitsnikki]

nice spread eagle!!!!! u nailed it!!!

[skateabella]

thank you :)

[lutzgosk8]

u really need to sitt!!on ur sit spin!

[pinklady2111]

hi! i take lessons at deeside, who teaches u? if u dont mind me asking how old were you when u started?

[skateabella]

Hi, you probably wouldn't know who teaches me because I don't know where you live...and I was about 13 :-)

[iceprincesskexxx]

wow you're amazing!

how long do you skate?

take care.

[apple22jacks]

your incredable 9i've been skating for 5 years today. i'm still in freestyle three. do you have a privete coach who you work with every day??

[skateabella]

Aww thank you!! I have a coach but only one lesson a week.

[auntbekahrules]

wow iam once a week since last summer

i had group lessons for 2 1/2 years before that and now i am working on my freestyle 4 programs

[iceskatingdivaa]

what level r u in?

[skateabella]

freestyle 5

[fleeeeeur]

Wow! You've improved a lot more then me haha.

And the first loud beat (the music) gave me such a fright! haha

Bye ☺♥

[DandruffParticles]

Hey everyone I landed my axel after 3 weeks!! And Ive been skating 4 6 months. Sorry not trying to brag but I'm so happy! And by the way you are really good.

[Mollie1358]

ok, I'm really sorry for what I said, I really DO see improvement, and I have lots of tips! I just don't want everyone to start giving me the cold shoulder.

[blackcinnamon]

i have the same pink hoodie that you're wearing in the camel spin & scratch spin. idk much about ice skating but i think you're really good at it!

[skateabella]

thanks! thats really nice :-)

[iceandblades]

i don't reaaally see much improvement or difference

[skateabella]

ok...go ahead and say that but I have only been skating for 2 years. Not 8 years...

[iceandblades]

hey, in your info box you asked for honest opinions.

and im talking about your improvement, which is completely unrelated to my skating.

[mizzi101]

But I would say there IS an improvment!

I mean, Rachel has now landed her axel.. after only 2 years of skating...

And how long did it take you?

Maybe you should take into account, that a lot of us youtube skaters have been skating NOT even HALF as long as you have, so dont expect us to be perfect, you had 8 years to perfect your moves. Rachel has only had 2 years. And id say shes come along far!

I cant wait to see HER after 8 years of skating! Id say she will have more than just a 2sal.

[iceandblades]

The axel took me 4 months. And for the good first five or so years or skating i was only about 4 and was in canskate. 4-year olds don't learn the same way as 14- year olds.

And btw, i can land a 2flip.

[mizzi101]

I agree, 4 year olds dont learn the way 14 years olds do. But you still had years of expereince before even attempting the axel. Most of us havn't. Im not saying your skating isnt good, of course it is, thats not what I was trying to tell you. I was saying that most of us havnt had years of experience, and we are still learning, so if you just took peoples feelings into account before you comment. Constructive critisism is fine, but an insult is an insult. And u should think before you say it.

[skateabella]

iceandblades, I asked for feedback, not just to tell me I havent improved and leave it at that. Just drop it.

[Gina10179202]

But even if four year olds don't learn the same way as 14 year olds you've still had so much experiance. Youve gotten on the ice thousands more times than people like Marie(2 years) Rachel(2 years) and I (1 year.) Youve had the time to become more comfortable on the ice.

How were you 4 years old for the first five years you have skated?

So sorry if I sound harsh but Rachel has improved like MAD and a comment like that was pointless. Ive noticed a lot of your comments to be unkind actually.

[skateabella]

aww thanks so much! you have improved like MAD also (even more so)! lol ;-)

[Gina10179202]

And btw, I can also land a 2flip. And I think Marie has too.

[skateabella]

Marie, I swear, you are the sweetest person ever!

[mizzi101]

Aww thanks Rachel! :D

[gollymolly123]

hey, this is off of your subject, but my axel to a year and a half so far and I still cant land it always!

[gollymolly123]

(me neither!)

[helplesslycold]

You have really sped things up... but your sit spins still need much work.While doing your spread eagle try looking at the camera for bonus... I mean you look more graceful. My friend... Her teacher gave up on teaching her that...lol

[shivvynicholls]

i agree. when you do a sit spin imagine you are almost spinning on your bum! okay i know it sounds weird almost sit on the ice fall over if need be its just breaking the barrier

[skatergirlaxeldancer]

great improvement!

keep working at it :)

[hollisterhottie5577]

u have improved so muchon spread eagle i just started fg skating and u r good

[skateabella]

thank you very much!

[starsesthetic]

Very nice woah, you have really long legs.

[morgail]

You've definitely improved! Especially with the lutz and camel. Your lutz is a lot faster, and your camel has a better position and more rotations. Your scratch spin looked faster too. Great work:)

[agjwgirls]

Ahh the scrach spin awesomenesssssssssssssssssssss

[aceprettyme]

WOW, I think you are really good.

[agjwgirls]

[kaylaskater]

[HaileyDawn05]

[Emma7639]

[skateaemma]

i was going to make a vid of me before and after too!

[skateabella]

Thanks, you should make a video too!

[camiheartzacnskating]

Wow... You have improved soooo much!

Your camel and lutz...

Your spread eagles and bauers are beautiful... through they didn't change much.

[Gina10179202]

You're really pretty :D

And you have improved LOADS Rachel, I mean check out your later camels and lutzes and spread eagles. WOW.

[skateabella]

Thanks! Really, that means a lot :-)

[mizzi101]

You have definitly imporved!

How old was you in that picture? You looked really little! I thought you have only been skating 2 years... lol

But your camel definitly improved, and your lutz too!

[skateabella]

Thank you so much! I was 4 but I quit skating after like 6 months.

[mizzi101]

Ohh! And than you started again when you were 13?

Kool! lol

Why did you quit? ANd what made you start again? Sorry for the questions! lol

[skateabella]

Yup! I quit because I was sad I didnt pass a level. I wish I didnt though cuz how cool would it be if I started at 4 and didnt stop! I started again because (pretty much the same as you, Marie) Ice Princess made me want to start again. And its ok, I love questions!

[iceskater2007]

What level didn't you pass? I might have quit when I was 9 if my dad hadn't convinced the teacher to let me go on to Freestyle 2. Backward edges drove me crazy, haha!

[skateabella]

I think it was beta! lol

[agjwgirls]

OMG Ice Princess made me want to start!<3:D
