The plotline of Casey learning to skate in just a few months (I don't remember the exact timeline, but it's all within a single year of high school), mainly by grasping the theory of the physics of skating, is not possible. Even though it would probably help Casey to have grasped the theory of the different movements, there is such a thing as muscle memory, which can't be rushed or "crammed" in a certain amount of time. It would take years for Casey's body to learn the tricks she learns, even if you allow for her being very talented and having the advantage of her knowledge. [Casey used to skate before having proper lessons.]

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

If Nikki's parents had to put out a second mortgage and Tiffany's dad works two jobs just to support their daughters' skating, how can Casey make enough money for skating lessons by running a concession stand? Casey's mom even says at the end of the movie: "You know I can't afford Casey's skating lessons" Well how did Casey afford the skating lessons all summer? [Simple, she never payed for skating lessons. At her first solo competition, one of the other skaters says something like "So you're the girl with no coach, huh?" The other girls' parents needed a second mortgage because they needed to pay for equipment, rink time, trainers, ballet lessons, and coaches to design a show. Casey's only equipment was a pair of cheap, used skates, she got some free rink time by working at the concession stand, and she had fellow skaters help her pick a routine. The only thing she had to pay for was a few ballet lessons and some rink time, which she could afford with the money from concessions and the money she made by using her physics knowledge to train the other girls.]
