Answer 8

I agree with what everyone else pretty much said already.  Stretch every day.  Build it into your routine so that you don't forget.  Practice spiral positions.  Practice stretching in front of a mirror.  This helps see what you are doing and builds body awareness.  

IIf you stretch gently every day, you will see major improvement in no time.

BTW, does anyone know if those max flex things work?

Stretch there are some good sites with stretches for ice skaters along with off ice training tips etc. and make sure you do 5-10 minutes of warm up before you stretch (jump rope, jogging, stairs, etc.) or you can pull a muscle. You have to remember that you won't become flexible overnight it takes time and dedication but if you work at you'll be at a whole new level flexiblity helps with more than skating too.
