l am an average skater, l cant do tricks or anything but l can ice-skate basically.

watch blades of glory, gaz michael michael will show you how its really done!

Probably not!!
ive discovered that anything you want to do you have to work at it.
If you watch anyone that is good at Figure Skating they probably practice lots but all good things are worth the effort so stick at it and you will get there!!

It is not that hard to become a figure skater but it depends on how ''into it'' u are. Enroll in an 8 week Learn to Skate class at ur local rink. If ur still interested, ask around to find a private lesson coach. make sure she/he is PSA rated, USFS membership (most do) & find out how long they skated & to what level they completed (If they competed at the Novice, Junior or Senior level in Freestyle they will know more & have better teaching techniques.usually) A word of advice, do not take from the Skating director, they usually have too many students & too much to do to give u a quality lesson. Private lessons usually run anywhere from $10-$40 per 1/2 hour (depending on the coach & ur location) As long as u work at it u will probably learn all ur single jumps in a year.

Hope that helps!

It varies on how talented you are, how good you want to be, and how dedicated you are. l would say not very easy for most people.

It definitely is not easy.
l have been skating for about two years. You need flexibility, and need to learn basics before you actually start figure skating. l would not know about your skating personally, but if you really want to skate l suggest going into group lessons or even private to see for your self (:

Figure Skating is very fun but not easy, it takes allot of determination and willpower. l strongly advise that if you want to start doing tricks on the ice, hire somebody that knows what there doing to coach you.
