Answer 3

Hi there (again lol)

I'm taking a wild guess that you're talking about UK skate level 5... so what i'll do - i'll list what you'll learn at each skate level from 5 onwards...

Level 5

Forward Crossovers in both Directions

Backward Snowplough Stop

Backward One-Foot Glide

Two-Foot Spin (one revolution)

Level 6

Continuous Backward Chasses around Circle

Forward Two-Foot Slalom

Forward Outside 3-Turn

Backward Skating-Stepping Forward in both Direction

Level 7

Backward Crossovers in both Directions

Forward Inside 3-Turn

Continuous Forward Outside Curves

Continuous Forward Inside Curves

Level 8

Forward Inside Mohawk (Left and Right )

Two Backward Crossovers followed by Sustained

Backward Outside Curve for a count of 3

Two-Foot Change on Edge on a Large Curve

Forward Drag

Level 9

Forward Beginner Cross Rolls

Bunny Hop

Backward Edges (both Feet & both Edges)

Two Backward Crossovers followed by sustained

Backward Inside Curve for a count of 3  

Level 10

Forward Crossovers in a Figure Eight Pattern

Backward Crossovers in a Figure Eight Pattern

Two-Glide in a Spiraling Curve

Simple Step Sequence

You'll find that most jumps will come easily enough if your balance is good, technique is only half the battle. If you'd like any help with jump or balance technique (and believe me i've helped a good few people with this topic on here lol) feel free to mail me

hope this helped, happy skating!!

Answer 4

the jumps you start off learning (like waltz jumps) are not hard to do they just take some practice to make them look good and to jump nice and high

spirals are kind of the same deal .... you'll probably be able to do one almost right away...it just will take you some time to get it to look impressive.

spins are a little more difficult. they take a little bit more focus and timing than the beginner jumps so you just have to work on them for a while

have fun with them ...when you learn them you can show off for your friends

Answer 5

I have this booklet I got for Ice Skating, here's what it says:

basic 5:

backward outside edge on a circle, right and left

backward inside edge on a circle, right and left

beginning one foot spin up to three revolutions, optional entry and free foot position

hockey stop

side toe hop, both directions

basic 6:

forward inside three turn from a standstill position, right and left

moving backward to forward two foot turn on a circle, clockwise and counter clockwise

T-stop, right and left

bunny hop

forward arabesque/spiral on a straight line, right and left

forward lunge, right and left.



basic 7:

forward inside open mohawk from a standstill position, right to left and left to right

backward outside edge to forward outside edge transition on a circle, right and left

backward crossovers to a backward outside edge (landing position), clockwise and counter clockwise

forward inside pivots, right and left

basic 8:

moving forward outside three turn on a circle, right and left

moving forward inside three turn on a circle, right and left

combination move: forward crossovers (2) into forward inside mohawk, step down and cross behind, step into backward crossover (1) and step to forward inside edge, repeat three times, clockwise and counter clockwise

one foot spin, optional entry and free foot position

this is from US figure skating basic skills program. I hope this helps!

best of luck

Answer 8

you learn jumps and spins starting in three levels at FS1, and they weren't hard for me(haven't learned all the jumps yet). don't worry everything takes practice and a coach will help you through.  spirals were not hard for me either.  practicing off ice first helps.  remember all of these moves take time ans it is different for each person.  some things may take longer or shorter time to learn.

Answer 9

do you mean Skate UK level 5?
