ICE SKATING IN MY KITCHEN! || Coach Michelle Hong

Those are hockey training tiles lol

I wonder if Michelle could ice skate in her bare feet for a just for fun video.

Oh we do love our skates, dont we girls?!?! My grandaughter is 4. We want to start her soon. Im hoping she falls in love with her boots like I did. I still love my boots ..think I always will ❤⛸❤

How much did it cost? Where did you buy it?

Oh dear. Sorry to hear this. I’m looking for inline skating options. Maybe Polypropylene ?

Gosh I hope she doesn’t have downstairs neighbors. All that hammering. 🥴

Seems i want it

Who’s the guy helping you?

Those things won't damage the blades???

It’s just I saw mainly hand moment not really skating

Amazing where do you buy it

well shit now i have to buy it

I got mine, she gives discount code. I got it for my daughter. She loves it. The ice rink is an hour away. It's like 240 after discount, for the basic set and it's already being used everyday.

omg I wanna do this!

They so expensive I got a lot though I got three

Nice

You can buy their starter kit which are rectangular panels and one kit is under 200.00. Check out their website. And the starter.kit isn't as heavy
One question I do have though is, would this be.good for practicing three turns and spins or is the friction so hard it is not worth it.

GlobalSynthetic Ice has much more slick gliding panels but they are more expensive.

Hi coach Michelle, thanks for the video! I have been wanting the synthetic ice board for a while and I would really like your opinion on how to make the best use of it. Given the limitation on indoor space and the board's slightly greater friction than real ice (that I hear), what moves or techniques do you suggest that are more suitable for it?Thanks!

Was just about to order this product but the comments are scary... Any real video test of the product ?

I have this product... she hypes it up wayyyy too much 100% sponsored 😬🙄 This product ruined my Jackson Supreme 5500's & Gold Matric Supreme blades. $1500 down the drain.

Hi, how long have you been learning figure skate? ur really awesome

Nah. I think inline skates are better for off ice skating. I see a lot of comments these ruins your ice skates.

you can see how she didnt skate much on them.. i wasted my money on it because people like her who get sponsored just want the money so they lie and say omg its perfect. DONT BUY IT IF YOU'RE NOT A HOKEY PLAYER its only good for hokey players and puck drills not spinning and jumping

Is starting figure skating at 13 too late?

Literally want this sooo bad!! We don’t have an Ice rink in my country at all and ice skating has been my dream since I was 7 years old, so I’m happy that there are other options to learn it properly😄

OMG!!! Yes I follow you on TikTok!!! welp guess ill subscribe too lol

is it ever to late to start figure skating i’m 12 going on 13 but i’m afraid that i would get turned down

Hi michelle! I have a few questions for you if you don't mind. I started skating on off-ice skates this summer. The boot is a GRAF 500 and there are rollers instead of blades.

1. I am able to get a pair of used Edea Ice Fly skates with the John Wilson coronation Ace blades. Is it okay to buy those as a beginner? The Edea website says the support is 90 (super strong) will this be tougher to skate on as a beginner since every little mistake is felt?
2. Or is it better to buy a new pair of Edea Wave's? (stiffness 40 and fits my level)

My level:
I am able to do forward and backwards crossovers and almost all edges are pretty solid to hold except for my left inside edge. The only jump I've mastered is the Waltz jump and I am working on my split jump currently. I have a gymnastics background and still do it with a lot of joy. I am also pretty content with my spiral. Spins are pretty much out of the equation, I practice the 2 foot and 1 foot spin every session but I can't seem to get it right.


I learned all these skills on off ice skates. I only had one skating lesson on ice. So I am a complete beginner when it comes to being in actual skates!

Just don’t buy it. It’s shit.

Will there be a follow-up video on the Polyglide synthetic ice?!

I'm 14 and I want to do figure skating, but I'm nervous that I'm too late to join because I'm 14. Can I join figure skating for the first time if I'm 14?

I don’t recommend getting this. We got it and spent over $1000+ on it. And it was horrible, it was so hard to skate on and it moved around when you pushed.

Can you make a video on your fav skating outfits (leggings/jackets/etc)? Looking to buy some new gear :D or if anyone wanna give a recommendation !!

What Covid does with us... An example. Ice skating in the kitchen! (cause your in quarantine or cause everything is closed... Choose whatever fits your situation best)

Inspiring blessings 🦖👽⛸🌎😇🧙‍♂️

yep, now i want it too 😂

I was asking for info about this on her instagram but never got a reply.
Fortunately here I saw a lot of people saying how bad this is.
I can’t afford to buy new gold seal every season 😂

can we just talk about how pretty she is 😔💕

I wouldn't get as excited about it before trying it out first.
I was - and I tried - and I cannot tell you how disappointed I was!
It is VERY hard to glide on this ice. The friction is such that it takes enormous force to glide. I assure you that not many of us will be able to do it.
I tried it in our science museum once (when they got it installed right before Christmas - and had a cute program for kids about properties of water).
I came so excited, I put my skates on, walked out on the ice - I couldn't skate! I was trying to push - I couldn't go beyond 1-2 inches - and I would stop HARD. Like I was trying to be going on a dirt road in my skates.
When the skating guard saw the astonished look on my face, he said : "yeah.. it is quite hard to skate on, ha? It's not a real ice by any means! I am sorry". I tried to walk around some more - and pushed, and pushed - I couldn't skate. I walked off.
Some kids on very dull rental skates were trying around - I could tell they struggled too.
My skating coach told me she had skated on synthetic ice when she worked with "circus on ice" at some tours - and it was extremely hard to do! You have to push VERY hard, she said - or you would stop on the spot.
Another thing that comes out of the problem of high friction - is that your blades heat up very quickly, they get hot momentarily, and they get very dull too. So you will have to sharpen them after every small session of skating on synthetic ice.
With all that said - synthetic ice is not for everybody.
It is obvious that some people can skate on it, and skate quite well - as shown on all their ads - mostly highly professional skaters- such as Michelle, or my Coach.
But if you are seriously thinking of getting some panels installed in your basement or your backyard - think twice. AND - I beg you - try them out first for yourself - to see if you will be physically able to do it.
I could not. I am very sad about it till this day!

I heard from hockey players it almost flattens their blades in like an hour. How fast did it wear your blades down?

I need that, I haven't been on ice for a year because of the COVID 19😭😭😭

I think that with a jigsaw and a file you can make it fully fit to your kitchen! And i'd love to see my whole apartment like this so no stupid shoes at home lol
Btw my neighbor will kill me someday, i might try to jump again in figure inlines in my living room 😂😂😂

Do the toe-pick damage the polyglide?

I'd love to do that but ....unfortunately that's freaking expensive

I also want to do that

Omg that’s a thing

Amazing to skate at home. Enjoyable video.

Oh wow this is so cool! I have hardwood floors and if these work over them I could convert my dining room which I don’t use into a mini-rink!

I would love to get polyglide ice ahhh it’d be so cool to practice skating at home!! Such a cool video

Love this video!! 😂
