ice skating
 

Anyone ever been ice skating?
Im going for the first time properly tomorrow with my form group as a end of year 11 trip.
I'm well excited is it fun?:hehe:

I've been ice skating a billion times because, well, I'm in Canada and that's what we do.

It's fun but it's difficult! The first time each winter when I put on skates it's terrifying, I swear I'd kill someone with one false move. If you don't fall on your head, though, I'm pretty sure you'll survive.

Also: it's worth investing some time to learn how to stop. That's the tricky part.

Wear gloves!

ice skating makes my life. it's amazing.

I go every week, I have a pair of figures but I really want some speeds like those ones in the above sig *drools* my friend that I go with is going away for a month so I might invest in a pair then because I need something to do and they are meant to be totally different to skate in.
Its so wonderful. I love it.

I used to figure skate competitively. I miss it like hell :(

You have good taste =p They're a picture of my skates. I've skated in figures as well and yeah both are very different.I doubt I could skate in figure skates again.
Also if you're investing in some mine weren't that expensive; I think £40 or so?

I love ice skating. I havent gone in years though :(

thats me!!

really, anyone who knows me knows quite how obsessed i am!

i go 3 times a week when at school
n about 5 times a week when not

i love it!!

n i like TheCons sig!

i have figure skates =D

I only go like twice a year?
Coz the only time we have a rink now is when holiday on ice come to town.
I absolutely love it!
And I'm pretty good (if I say so myself) considering I hardly ever go.
It always makes me wanna take up rollerblading again =p

Ahh it's so fantastic.. makes you feel so free (if you're okay at it)
have a great time!

i love ice skating.
its great fun.

Ice skating is genius.
I actually work as an ice marshall so I get to skate for free which is handy as I play ice hockey (Y)
You gots to kinda start off slow.. and don't be too surprised if your feet get shredded by hire skates.
I have never used figure skates but I would think it would be rather hard with the pointy bits on the front as I'm used to my Hockey skates.

Thecon: I gots CCMs too I loves them. [Mine are Vector 4's]

Mate, ice skating terrifies me.
I've been once in my life and was scared sh*tless.
Becca [TheCon] is going to drag me skating and i'm going to fall on my face. -sob-

I love ice skating, but i still havent learned how to stop! I keep crashing into the barrier. :\

I like in-line skating but will do ice when at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. My main rule is its generally better to fall forward and not backwards so a slight bend of knee and weight forward will protect the coccyx (butt bone) and back of head.

I'd love to get a job as an ice marshall! You're so lucky.
You play ice hockey?! **** yeah! I used to play but had to quit due to a knee injury but i'm thinking of playing again as soon as i get money for a new kit. CANNOT WAIT.
Vector 4's look like awesome skates. I don't think i could skate in anything but CCMs. I'm just used to them and I love them. The ones in my sig are mine; 92 Tacks.

People that are good at it make me so jealous, it looks so effortless and good fun. Haha.

I go about once or twice a year, but it's good fun all the same.

Have fun, you'll be alright, and just keep to the edges if need be (and use them to stop too).

I live next door to an ice rink.

of course, i have the balance of a walrus on stilts so i never go...

i would love to live next to an ice rink i would be there all the time.
i need to get a pair of ice skates so i can go more.
