After months of creating in-depth guides for adult figure skaters, we realized something: you were spending too much time searching for the information you needed. So we built something better.
Introducing the Skating Guides Hub—your complete resource center for adult figure skating.
What You'll Find
We've organized 30+ expert guides into six easy-to-navigate categories:
🌟 Beginner Essentials Starting your skating journey? We've got you covered with everything from your first lesson checklist to choosing the right coach. No more wondering what to expect or how to prepare—it's all here.
⛸️ Skills & Technique Master the fundamentals with detailed tutorials on crossovers, edges, backward skating, spins, and spirals. Each guide breaks down complex movements into manageable steps designed specifically for adult learners.
👗 Style & Performance Express yourself on the ice with confidence. Learn how to choose the perfect dress, select program music that showcases your strengths, and prepare for your first competition.
🛠️ Equipment & Maintenance Protect your investment and keep your skates performing at their best. From blade sharpening to proper care techniques, we cover everything you need to know about maintaining your gear.
💪 Training & Fitness Maximize your ice time with effective off-ice training, stretching routines, nutrition strategies, and injury prevention tips. Because what you do off the ice matters just as much as what you do on it.
🏆 Progress & Goals Understand the test structure, set achievable goals, and track your skating journey. Whether you're skating for fun or working toward specific milestones, these guides help you stay motivated and measure your progress.
Why We Built This
As adult skaters ourselves, we know how overwhelming it can be to find reliable, relevant information. Most skating resources are designed for kids or elite athletes—not for adults who are juggling skating with careers, families, and other commitments.
We created this hub because you deserve resources that:
- Speak directly to adult learners
- Respect your time with clear, actionable advice
- Cover the real questions you're asking
- Support your goals, whatever they may be
