I have had these skates for 2 months now they are Jackson Competitors and today while I was drying my skates I noticed that the nails ( screws ) on one of them had a black / brick red color . I always dry my skates with a towel ! I am really scared because these skates are new :/ , is it normal ?? or bad ?? any tips ?? Thank you

When you first started jumps in figure skating , were you scared ? any tips on how to stop thinking and just go for the jump because I just started jumps and I get so scared , I don't know why , I am not afraid of falling at all but when I do jump I get such a relief :P , any tips ? Will I get more confident with time ? I just started the waltz jump but my coach said I will start salchows probably next month .

I bought these skates last week and I skated in them for exactly 7 hours and they already feel much much better and I am getting used to the edges and all but first time I skated in them I couldn't even do a one foot glide right and when I removed the skates after the 1 hour session I had a blister on the side of my left foot but it didn't hurt too much so I shrugged it off and after skating in them for 2 more times the blister kind of dried a little and peeled away but now I have raw skin which really really hurts when I skate on it or even touch it , so I was wondering if you have any time on how to deal with the blister and make it heal faster , I also got a few cuts on my ankles where the top of the boot hits the skin but these don't hurt that much so I don't mind them . I know this kind of question is asked a lot but oh well . The skates are Jackson Competitor with Aspire XP blades . oh and if you have any tips to break them in faster that would help because I can't get that much knee bend on them or do dips correctly .

Thank you :)

I know this is a weird question but I like watching fainting scenes or scenes where someone gets hurt or is unconscious or even just gets dizzy .

I already watched all of the Geet and Maan scenes and I have watched the Yash and Aarti scenes

Anyone know of any shows with many of those scenes

So last week I had an infection or whatever in my armpit and he gave me betadine soap ( shower gel ) and ever since I started using it , I didn't smell AT ALL , it is sooo good . So I was wondering if I can keep using it as my usual soap or is it special for dermatology cases and diseases ?

So I live in Sharjah , United Arab Emirates , and I ordered figure skates online so it is a pretty big package and the shipping was over $100 . I was wondering if they will deliver to my doorstep because I believe they didn't ask for the Po Box when I ordered it and I wrote the address of my apartment . We don't have a mailbox btw .

I have been skating for 8 months now , and I have had my skates for exactly 6 , my skates are Risport RF4 . My foot is pretty wide and long ( I am a size 10 in figure skates ) and I don't think that my skates fit me very well , since they are my first skates I don't really know how figure skates are supposed to feel .My skates make my feet hurts after just 20 minutes of skating , I think they are too narrow because I can't really move my foot around that much to change edges or spin properly . I am considering purchasing Jackson Freestyle boots , didn't decide on a blade yet ( any suggestions ? ) , I am ready to save money for them and I am able to purchase them . The moves I am learning are :

1. Backward crossovers

2. Forward crossovers

3. Shoot the duck

4. Waltz jump

5. Very simple footwork sequences

6. Three turns

7. Scratch spins

8. Consecutive edges

9. Lunges

10. Spiral

So now you have an idea about my level .

Don't tell me to ask my coach because I will in my next session but I wanted more opinions ^^

I know I can ask my coach but I don't have a lesson with her until next week and I have a practice session tomorrow where I am hoping to improve my backward spiral . I have actually just started learning a backward arabesque ( classic spiral ) 2 days ago , but I can't do it , my forward spiral is good , but when I try to go backwards the moment I take my leg up , my supporting foot starts going on the toe pick . Help me please :) ! I have only been skating for 7 months

Oh !! and if you can please give me some tips on how to get more flexible for my spirals ( I already do off ice classes ) , a few stretches I can do or something , and If you can help me get my splits please !

So I finally started learning Japanese and my teacher gave me some homework to do in the workbook and that was ok but she also gave me a few questions to write in my notebook and answer and I am not very sure about them since I only started learning Japanese 2 weeks ago .Here are the questions and the answers I wrote:

1.What time did you get up ?

いちじです。( 1 o'clock )

2.what did you eat for dinner yesterday ?

ぱんけえきをたべました。( i ate pancakes )

3.where did you go yesterday ?

わたしはづばいもおるにいきました。( I went to dubai mall )

Are they right ?

Hi ,

I'm 14 years old and I am fluent arabic and english speaker but I really want to learn Japanese since I love the culture and I also love watching anime and reading manga , so I asked my mum to enroll me in a japanese course and she said she will next week . I wanted to know how long it would take to be able to READ a japanese book ( not just manga ) and how long it will take to learn to write in japanese and speak it fluently ?

this is just a survey . what activities are you signed up for ? i do figure skating and off ice classes and i am also gonna join drawing and japanese language .

Hi , I am 14 and I am thinking about learning Japanese . I was wondering what you do in a language course and how the experience is so I have some questions :

Do the instructors give you a list of books to buy ?

After you are able to construct simple sentences and write them do the instructors give you assignments , like for example write a paragraph or write a few sentences or some exercises to solve ?

Please answer according to you're experience learning a language ( Japanese preferably ) . btw I am considering taking classes at Berlitz language institute since there is one close to my house and it is internationally known :) so is it a good place to learn in ?

I want some korean / japanese drama's with many many injury / fainting scenes ( sprained ankle , allergic reaction / drowning ) I know I am really weird :P . I would love it even more if the guy faints rather than the girl and the girl saves him or cares for him . but even if it is the girl hurt i still want to see , can you please give me the episode of the fainting / injury ( even if you cant just name the drama ) thanks

I already saw koizora /boys over flowers and playful kiss :D

So i have been skating for 4 months now and I can do arabesque , lunge , little waltz jumps , a two revolution one foot spin and such but no matter how much I practice I CANNOT DO A STOP , I tried over 10000 times and I just can't do it ughhhh I end up doing a half swizzle instead , my coach made me do it in place and by the wall and it totally works but I just cant make my leg skid over the ice I dont know why help pleaseeee

So I have been figure skating for 3 months and I am struggling with spirals and waltz jumps and in the club I train in they have hip hop classes , I CAN afford it and they do 1 class per week so I was wondering if hip hop will help me with skating at all , will it improve my flexibility and strength ? because I am not at all flexible ( i cant even do the splits O_O ) but I can kick high and do an arabesque :)

ok i think thats enough :P ^^ thx so much if u wasted ur time on this , and if there are some moves u cant do yet then just leave them blank

So today my coach made us try the waltz jump but forwards not backwards but I can do it perfectly off ice and off ice with the skates but I just can't get the courage to do it ON the ice , every time I start throwing my leg forwards to jump my body just stops and I get really scared since it is the first jump we try , can someone please help me with overcoming this mental fear I have because I really want to do it and I have the courage and determination until I start swinging my leg to jump .

How do you push back with only one foot and use edges , I can go in a good speed with both legs but on 1 leg I just don't get how you should push to the back . I need this for my backward crossovers as well thx ^^

I can do forward crossovers with speed and all but backwards is just hell to me , I know how to skate backwards with good speed and I can do the crossover in place perfectly but I just can't do it while moving , I mean I skate to the back and gain speed then lift my leg to crossover but that moment my other skate stops , this is really frustrating I really need some tips , oh and for snowplow stop too I tried and tried and tried but I either turn to the side or keep skating in that position it just doesn't STOP .I have practice tmw so please help me fast thanks ^^

I am new to skating so I was wondering how dangerous it can be .
