SKYLER LUTHER

Discipline:  Adult Singles Freeskate & Showcase

Skyler is an Adult Singles competitor in freeskate and showcase events. Skyler started skating a little over two years ago and fell in love with the sport. “I love the feeling of flying through the air when jumping. My favorite jump that I am working on right now is the double loop.” One of Skyler’s signature elements is the hydroblade and was inspired by watching Yuzuru Hanyu perform it.

One of the things I love about skating at the Ice Hall is the amazing people I have been able to meet. I have been able to meet so many Olympians and other great people, and I am grateful that I get to skate on the same ice as them.”

When Skyler is not on the ice he likes to be outdoors or working on one of his many projects.
