Oh I just LOVE iceskating!!! I think Brendon is going to take me sometime soon. (Our ice ring closes mid-January.) I have always wanted to go with him, but he's afraid because he was born with a club foot and doesn't think he would be able to. I think he could if he'd just try. He finally agreed to go so now I'm just waiting for it to happen. I'm SO excited!!

Are you going to go skate Mandy??

Angie, i love skating, i'll have to get myself a new pair though. As a kid i could figure skate, a little. We use to practice weekly in the ring, but thats a LONG time ago. In summer it's fun to go inline skating, none of my friends fancy going, but my son is kind enough to go with hes mom at times LOL

I always dreamed of being a figure skater. I have the balance and body type for it, and I just loved watching it on TV, but we wouldn't have been able to afford or find a trainer around here, so I never did it. Ballet was the closest I got. lol. So what was the most difficult technique you learned?? I hope you get to go soon. It's just so much fun!

Angie, it's a pity you never got to learn it, it's quite fun. The most difficult thing to do for me was the twirl, i remember that "dizzy" feeling, specially in the beginning, ive "ploncked" on my backside lots and lots of times LOL
If i had a daughter, i would definatly have encouraged her to pick a skating sport.
You get that "free" feeling
My brother had those hockey skates for speed skating, ive never tried that, but wooooo that must be fun.
A friend of mine went with us one day, she fell, and another skater rode over her hand, that was not a pretty sight.

Have fun skating Mandy! I can't wait to see pictures.

When I was a kid, we used to go to Prospect Park in Brooklyn. They had a really nice skating rink. I'll never forget how beautiful it was at twilight. The ice had a beautiful blue look at that hour.
