Hey everyone, First time i went ice skating was a week ago, and then went again today..

For the first time going i thought i was pretty good only fell down a few times lol...Today again only a few times ^^...getting easier to go faster, turn etc etc

Any of you been, Like or dislike it?

share your thoughts :D
 
got quite into the ice skating for about a year till i bought my own skates then got pissed off with it for there was a new learning curve i was having difficulty with. I was use to the standard tapered (figure skates) but bought some speed skates (hockey skates) - hence the learning curve. Good to get into though, you'll love it once u learn the 'cross-over' then u go really fast! :)
 
I used to love ice skating so much, the last time I went was about 6 years ago and during that period of my life I'd be going once every week or two. The last time I went though was with my mother and sister and like usual my sister was trying to show off, but before long she fell over and smacked her head on the floor, she was knocked unconscious for a few minutes and a massive pool of blood spread across the ice in a matter of seconds, I've got to say I remember it vividly and I was crying my eyes out because I was so scared and thought she was going to die. After that I've never gone again because as lame as it sounds, the experience kind of traumatised me. I would like to start going again though, it was incredibly fun to do.
 
The first I went ice skating was scary crap, I feel down like 8 times but that was when I was like 10 and I was overseas- so that doesn't count :P
Well back in my home country, I went there for the first time and I fell down like 3 times because I was fully cautious and I like how my friend pushes me and you get so scared. I like ice skating but I prefer skiing!
tip : go do it with your bf/gf so you can hold hands so neither of you falls down
 
i like ice skating, my friend wanted to link arms with me...i laughed it off and didnt think anything of it. i missed my opportunity. /aloneforever
 
I haven't gone in a while.. last time I went was maybe 4 months or so? I got my own pair and I'm pretty good. I wasn't able to bend my left foot right or left because I had a screw in it. I just had surgery to get that removed because it did it's job about a month ago and now I can. Maybe that will help me skate better? beats me lol but probably.
