So often I have found myself disappointed with the clinical ice rink environment sucking the life out of figure skating performances. I'm so glad this got made.
There's a T and D one coming up from Alaska. They will be performing Bolero.
Hope you managed to watch Dancing on Thin Ice with Torvill and Dean. It was on yesterday (New Year's Day) but still available on Catch Up. ITV Hub.
There was something similar done by Brian Boitano in Alaska, many years ago. Trying to find it on KZhead now.
Beautiful on every level.
I am a figure skater as well..and THIS IS A DREAM!
I was like wtf shes finn and im finn my self
This brang me so much nostalgia... I live in Lithuania and theese past two winters were so warm, none of the lakes would freeze... But I remember... 3, 4 years ago I would take my skates every free winter night, drive to the biggest local lake, wait for the sunset, put on my earphones some good music and just let myself free... It makes me want to cry because its so hard to put in words how much a person can love a place and an activity, how much peace it can bring to your soul. I've had an anxiety disorder since I was 13 years old (im 20 now) and figure skating was the only activity that I did not stop doing because of my disorder. I've loved skating since I was 6 years old. There is the only place on earth that I get completely calm, focused and my mind forgets every problem I've ever worried about. I miss it and my heart cries knowing I probably won't get to experience none of it this year too. AMAZING VIDEO, hats off to you all for creating this. 💙⛸️
Bro, I can honestly relate. Just with inlines at my local rink instead. I can imagine your setting being so picturesque and beautiful.
You advocating for global warming?
THIS IS EVERY FIGURE SKATERS DREAM😩😩😩 ID PAY SO MUCH MONEY JUST TO SKATE AROUND
@urlongjuicyshlong find a local ice rink that you’d be alright with travelling to and try and join the figure skating club. They generally have learn to skate lesson and then you progress from there. Hope this helped :)
Same 😫
@urlongjuicyshlong I am!!! I’d recommend checking your nearest skating rinks (i’ve found if you are near a state capital nhl rinks are the way to go, they’re nicer and cute nhl players are a bonus 😂) the rinks websites and looking for a coach and public and free skate times, I’d also really recommend stretching and off ice because it makes a huge difference. good luck!😊
Didn't Brian Boitano do something like this in Alaska many years ago? I'm trying to find it on KZhead
@urlongjuicyshlong not really, it may be helpful when you jump but at The beggining you're obviously not able to do so. Slimer skaters can also start with the cheaper skates - the more expensive ones are usually stiffer so they don't break that quickly as the cheaper do. When you weigh more than the average figure skater you obviously need the stiffer skates, because your body puts more pressure on the boots :)
The night shots were incredible!
Salute to her , cameraman and the EDITING team 😎😎
Red bull sponsorship is crazy. But this one is a great one.
So beautiful! I wish they would upload a video with no background music just the sound of the skates hitting the ice.
We skaters all share this dream. You had the balls the make it real!
Beautiful on so many levels - collaboration, vision, showing up and persisting despite weather, nature and scenery, music, performance, athletic and artistry. Congrats on a fabulous project.
Being an older very frustrated figure skater, this is so exhilarating to watch in so many levels, so beautiful it gives me chills and I got teary eyed in the end and I don’t know why :( Bravo for everyone involved in this ❤️✨
"I want the audience to feel chills watching this" Mission accomolished looking at the scenery alone 🥶 In all seriousness though, this was such a beautiful and mystical experience to watch!
Absolutely incredible. Thank you Red Bull for recording for all posterity the greatness, beauty and passion of humanity.
Starts at 7:35
Thaaaanks!
Absolutely MAGIC! The scenes with the skater and the Northern Lights on the back are breathtaking. Fantastic job...in such non-controlled ice conditions. A bravo for Emmi (and another for the team).
I've watched this so many times now, and each time, I'm blown away. Absolutely love it. Just beautiful.
Does anyone also get impresion of some kind of astral body when she was spinning at the end of the clip? anyway brava for the team, you did amazing
Goosebumps!
you captured the dynamic of her movements and that’s a magic thing to do when it comes to this beautiful sport 🤍❄️
Peltoset ovat hienoja urheilijoita. Tosi makee video myös. Kiitos.
This is everything. Transcendent and visercal.
I loved that you guys left the section of her falling while contrasting it with the jump and she still looked gorgeous in both shots! Loved the beauty in imperfection!
Nothing better then smooth outdoor ice in a scenic place, a feeling of true euphoria
Kudos to the photography team, Emmi and, RedBull sponsors for resurrecting a potential commercial worth watching and admiring! I love it❣
This was great especially the night part. Red bull does amazing work
Congratulations To All On Such A Beautiful Project
She is a queen, literally she acts like a queen. Love.
I’ve always wanted to be professional😥 this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen
it was so soothing that whole video. it was really a masterpiece
Deeply appreciate the hard work that went into making this! Sounds like it took quite some time! You and your crew’s pure dedication is just amazing brings an artist to tears 😭 Takes work to get the best shots and this even the pain staking part is just aw inspiring Beautiful struggle Beautiful outcome Beautiful dedication Beautiful work💖 🙌🏼✨💖🙏🏼💖✨🙌🏼
I can't stop watching it on repeat. So much hard work. All of them.
This is amazing. The peace of the place, her beauty and a perfect soundtrack. I’m hypnotised ❤️
This was incredible! The music, scenery, the team the Northern Lights I can’t say enough. Fantastic Job Everyone
The end was literally the most beautiful thing I've ever seen that I had tears in my eyes 💗
I'm getting not only the chills, but little tears. I was a figure skater, from Spain, and it's a life dream to skate outdoors surrounded by nature. I've already experienced a little what it is a landscape made of snow mountaineering, but to skate on it, that will be a fantasy.
Same this honestly made me cry
Потрясающее видео! Которое показывает, как прекрасен наш мир!!! Красота арктической природы, ее чистота и белая безмолвность! И на этом фоне вдруг - завораживающая музыка и танец прекрасной девушки! Браво!!! До слез!...
CRIED. SO BEAUTIFUL!
Вот это фигурное катание. Класс, молодцы и фигуристка и съёмочная группа
Beautiful! The night skate was stunning! Tremendous athlete!
Chills achieved with a tear in my eye BEAUTIFUL is such an understatement
Фанаты фигурного катания мечтают чтобы такие классные спонсоры как вы пришли в этот спорт и сделали все круче и ярче
This project is so beautiful. Thanks for showing behind the scenes. I figure skate but i am no whereee as good as this!! 💕
This is such a great idea! There is no live audience, as in a skate rink. But we the many KZhead watchers are watching. The quiet beauty of nature and movement. Imagine a group of Olympic figure skaters, professionally shot with closeup cameras and cinematographic lighting, here instead of on an ice rink. But the cold and elements would be a second challenge for them. Advanced thermal fabric should keep them warm. 😃
I like how they added imperfections at 9:03 for the extra intensity. Ice skating is no joke!
Love this - thank you for all the hard work that went into making this.
Skating at night is such a moodddddddd
WoW!! This is awesome ! Congratulations to Emmi and each member of the team 👏🏻👏🏻💕
wow....so much went into this....so neat and amazing!!!! I love behind the scenes of what goes into creations like this!!! Always a story and hard work that goes into it that people just don't know...
This is breathtaking! The level of artistry is unbelievable!!!
Awesome video! Which shows how beautiful our world is!!! The beauty of Arctic nature, its purity and white silence! And against this background, suddenly-fascinating music and dance of a beautiful girl! Bravo!!! To tears!...
outdoor skating is the most incredible feeling ever!
That was breathtaking
This is just beautiful. I had tears in my eyes
Beautifully conceived, beautifully shot, beautifully skated. 🙌🙌 First time I've seen AlphaTauri clothing outside F1. 👌
Красота человека+красота спорта+красота природы!!!!!!!
Redbull, your cinematic are very story telling. Thanks for this one. I got those Chills she wanted to give.
i think this might be the best red bull content i've ever seen
Just to be live and see this performance absolutely amazing just ☺️ The crew did a 👏 great job!
Spectacular - BTS of filming was truly inspirational - going beyond whats normal makes this a shyscraper above the rest of the films. Congratulations
Wow it looks so incredibly fluent as if it was nothing hard to do, and then in this beautiful snowy landscape- it really is something for all the senses! Love it!
FANTASTIC effort! It’s an EXTRAORDINARY compilation/body of work by all! CONGRATS 🎉👏🎉
Класс. Хорошее видео. А команда после съемок ещё и в хоккей сыграла :)
She's one of my favorite skaters. This was beautiful from concept to execution. They've earned some hot tea and biscuits after all that cold!
The light in this is breathtaking
This was Art at its finest. Kudos for the team, and Emmi
Seeing the behind the scenes make you appreciate the final product so much more
Wow! Stunning performance! The video itself is absolutely amazing! 👍✨🌟👍 Great work of the team!
Stunning!!! Wonderful camera work and choreography!
Wow this is absolutely amazing🔥❄
This is everything.
really awesome! as she says this is a dream of many people to go in nature in such a beautiful place and ride, flow, enjoy. thank you for sharing! we can get some of the feeling of that vibration
wow the amount of work is amazing
I've never really realized to appreciate it enough, but in my childhood there was a winter where we got tons of snow first, then it all melted, formed huge pooling over a field and then all froze again and got some snow etc. and that created basically a big field with a very smooth ice over it. We, as kids, went there pretty much daily to skate around and play hockey and gotta say, it is one of the most memorable experiences of my youth. Sure we had to shovel some snow every now and then - and at some parts a clump of the field's soil might've been sticking out a little, but... it was still a fairly great ice to skate on. Sure, we didn't figureskate but ... either way, it was a cool experience getting to do all that in a natural setting rather than a rink
Beautiful, and the filming was exquisite, as was the landscape. Just needed the northern lights.
This amazing and beautiful on every single level possible!
This was so gorgeous to watch !⛸
POV: It was recommended you didn‘t search for it
Love all the amazing work that went into making this. Also greatly enjoy listening to your amazing language!
This is amazing! So beautiful!
Yess! Go on EMMI ! I like your attitude!
It's so amazing! And so hard work! Wow!
Awesome, if her skates were reflective too it would have been wicked.
Wouldn't have mattered if they were or not, the cold would have frosted them up already
I agree. Love the idea but it lacked a lot of attention to detail. Anyway I enjoyed the show 🤩
Beautiful! I love to hear about the background in this video!
Very beautiful, performance, music, editing, etc..
Being a figure skater myself I have always dreamt about doing something like this!! Guys this is honestly pure art, congratulations on the video 🥺🙏🏼!!
