Thanks! This was exactly what I wanted to know! I‘m going for hockey skates now 😊👍🏼

I think spins would be impossible because there is no sweet spot or rocker on a hockey skate, I think edge jumps are possible because they don't take off on a toe pick, (salchow/axel)brbrhockey players generate speed from stand still by doing lateral cross overs, (3 step start_brbralso hockey skates are much more comfortable to wear for longer periods of time because they are wider and much lighter as he said in the video, and the heel is less pronounced so its easier on your back, brbrbralso hockey skates might be better for beginners because there is no toe pick to trip on, but might fall from having less blade to work with in front and back

I’ve never figure skated never wanted too but for some reason I love these videos

It seems like with practice you could learn to do some one-footed skills, you just need to adapt them to using a flat foot instead of toesbrbrI'm beyond impressed

2:28 : The laces are way too tight I can feel it from here ! You need flexibility at anklebr3:05 : Oh, you give me reason ! Also, put your pants inside the skates, not outside of the skates (promote flexibility by extending the range of motion at your ankle)

I don't feel any difference from hockey skating to figure skating
Comment from : Aiva Vegmane

We generate speed from a stop with multiple cross-overs We can probably generate speed quick than any toe pick

Excellent analysis I am a Canadian hockey player, however my daughter is learning figure skating brI am able to preform most moves on hockey skates, but landing jumps is difficult when your balance is not perfect br#need a toe pick

I was the guy in hockey skates the a learn to skate class I took the classes up to the point of learning spins At that point I went on to hockey

Thank you for making this video I was considering joining the Reading Figure Skating Club to learn to figure skate but decided against it because the figure skaters are sharing practice time with fully outfitted hockey players Quite scary to look up and see a hockey player racing toward me at full speed!

I am successfully learning to do figure skating moves in hockey skates it CAN be done Just started so I'll be back here with video proof in a few months when I get a routine down pat

I grew up playing hockey but want to follow my longing to learn how to figure skate I was worried about the transition so this has been helpful!
Comment from : Victoria

I found it quite funny how quite a few of the excersizes that he did on hockey skates are excersizes that we hockey players do all the time for edge control and things like that

He makes it so easy but really it’s so hard when you try

Nice topic!

I'd like to ask Chris, how flexible are his figure skating skates? They seem to be quite similar to mine I mean especially the flexibility forward in ankle I bought new (leather) skates recently They are supposed to be a semi pro figure skates But their boots are wider, so much stiff, much more polstered and with some kind of ankle reinforcement inside I appreciate them because I'm returning to skating after 20 yrs and don't have such a good stability in my ankles, so I thought this feature would be good for me But I'm not able to flex my legs in ankles, bend them forward at all I know those boots are completely new but really hope and pray for them to get more flexible 😭 My old common leather figure skates are sooo flexible, I can do "Shoot the Duck" in them with no problem In these? Not even able to squat down 😭 But I never had any opportunity to see any really professional figure skates So I don't know now, how bad is that stiffness of my new skates Now they seem to mě more like some hockey skates, but with toe picks I'm a bit sad from it Please, if Chris, you, or anyone here could answer me, even describe his own feelings from a good figure skates, I'd appreciate it really much! ❤️ Thank you! And a great video! Chris has definitely talent for acting, it was both instructing and funny 👍

the oh god with the first lemon is so real 🤣
Comment from : Lola

My coach suggested I practice my backward crossovers in hockey skates as I have a tendency to scrape my toe pick, as my weight is too far forward and not completely over my skating leg
Comment from : Tracey Wilson

Chris would be an awesome hockey skater! I also enjoyed the video!

Cool content I started in hockey skates in 2019 and can do all the figure skating moves including spins in both directions but not at a pro level lol I started using figure skates 6 months ago and still can't match my hockey skate spins I find single leg slaloms easier in the lighter hockeys than figures right now Toe pick related tricks are very tricky in hockey skates though hahaa There is a skater in hockey skates at my local rink who does double axels Now that is cool
Comment from : Sam

Cool video, I like this! I'm also doing figure skating stuff in my super-hot teen hockey skates (they don't have skates for women) & I have no plans to give up I'm not yet at Chris's level, I can't really do 1 foot spins & twizzles in my hockey skates, but I can do the 3 jump better than him, hahaha! It's all about practice & getting used to the differences: it's not the edge grip that's so different but the weight distribution Apart from a toe pick specially built for tripping yourself on the ice, figure skates have that extra heel thing that makes the moves in the field sort of smooth I bought a pair of figure skating boots & mounted ice dance blades on them to be able to attend more advanced figure skating classes & every time I do the switch from figure skates to hockey skates I notice I get lower & my knees also have to work more Few things are better than a modern hockey skate!!

Thought I recognised that rink from the video still😅

My personal experience, is that from roller skates in So Cal to ice skates in Alaska, i was given hockey skates to start pond/lake skating, as I didn't have a toe pick to compete with However, all my friends had figure skates, so when we'd race I felt I had a major disadvantage, as I didn't have toe pics to get a running start By junior high, I had my own figure skates and all the other boys would make fun of me Whatever I loved figure skating alone on the ponds and lakes After returning to So Cal, after 20+ years, I've come back to roller skating with an entirely new set of challenges! However, every winter I miss ice Skating in the open winter air

Interesting! I've just started skating at the ripe old age of 58! I chose hybrid skates as what I want to do is learn to skate, that's it I also can't stand having my toes cramped into a point and I like the extra space my hybrid (Bauer Whistlers) have They're so comfy So, at my lessons, they were a bit sniffy with me because I fell over backwards early on and this was in part because of my choice of skate But The way Chris skates in this video is exactly the sort of thing I want to learn (👍👍) I'm a big hockey fan and love the way they skate I want to be able to go fast and change direction and move as if I were walking or running I'm not interested in spinning either on the ice or in the air I can see problems ahead for me though in my lessons because the teachers are figure skating teachers and there's a stupid rivalry that goes on at my local rink (in Italy) between the figure skaters and the hockey players I'm an anomaly in that I'm a woman who essentially wants to learn how to skate like a hockey player! 🤣

Nice video! I'm wondering if one just train a bit more in one shoe or the other to get the grip of it, rather than trying one time Chris did a fantastic job in hockey moves - WOW!! THAT LOOK AMAZING!! Two thumbs up from me, Chris! 👍👍

👍👍 2 thumbs up for Chris!
