learn to iceskate

Never too late to learn!

Amazing! I would just like to know… I am 16 years old. Is it too late to ice skate? And when will it be too late? I’ve danced alot. But only amateur and I love gymnastic. I am not the best. But I got an A in P.E så maybe it is good? I would just like to know if it’s hard when I start out as 17 or 18?

My freind told me about ice-skating. SHe told me that it was like flying in the aira nd when u r ice-skating you dont think about anything eles, the only thing on youre mind is the ice. Right now all i want is not to think so i really want to try ice-skating. I asked my dad and he said it was to expensive so now i think i am going to pay 4 it with the job from my part time job. Hopefully it will be enough money i really want to do this.

I’ve always wanted to iceskate and about a month ago I finally got myself and my Aunt into adult lessons. I’m having a blast doing it and I’m getting pretty good, which is surprising.

I can do forward swizzles, right crossovers, left crossovers, right and left foot glides, and I just learned today that I can skate backwards and do tiny spins! I can also go really fast like the hockey players do, and I’ve only fallen once.

Thats pretty impressive seeing as my lessons are only once a week for 30 minutes and I’ve only been to 4. But I dont consider this a goal that I have completed. I wont say that until I can skate like a pro!

I’m getting a little better at iceskating. But I’m having trouble, because I am right handed so you’d think I’d be better on my right leg, but I’m actually a lot better on my left. So right crossovers make me trip myself, but I can do the left ones almost perfectly. And I can’t glide on my right foot, but on my left I can glide almost half the length or the rink.

It’s so hard to learn how to use the left side of my body. It makes me SO nervous. But I’m going to practice a lot more than I have been so maybe I can get good with the right too.

First of all I want to salute all those celebrities who were on ‘Dancing on Ice’. Its soooooooooooooo hard to ice-skate and moreover to dance on it! Oh my God! It looked so easy on TV.The minute I stepped into the ice rink; I SLIPPED and went on slipping… It hurts! I envied some of my classmates. They were so natural skating. Its not fair! Still, despite all this I had a good time laughing with my friends. I am even ready to try it again!

It was so fucking fun! I wiped out like 6 times, but it was worth it.
