one of the 1st. things you practice is 'how to fall the right-way' so as you least likely injure (you or anyone near you). - The other critical thing to remember is that it's dangerous to sit on the ice, unless you like losing a hand, when meeting up with someone else's blades. - So the other thing you learn, is how to get UP ASAP Classes are kewl, as you learn to progress incrementaly... & have Fun doing so, as many 1000's of us skaters enjoy experiencing: 1. the Wonder of watching the Elite, execute their feats, & (tho we know that skating is Counter-intuitive to how we learned to walk & move), they are so Skilled in them, they make it appear AS IF it's 1st. nature.& 2. the Excitement of practicing each baby-step, & after a zillion times of hit & miss, to finally experience the day when the 1st. A-HA moment shines thru & you are jumping (or at least i am) UP & down in sheer & utter JOY as you can hardly contain yourself, over each little success... I LOVE TO SKATE... PASSION IS EVERYTHING... | |

Ew! I almost learned this the hard way when I was younger. On one of the rarer occasions, I went to the local rink to skate and had fallen on the ice. I turned around on my butt only to see this women barrelling down in my direction and just lifted my hand in time to spare my poor little fingers. I loved skating when I was younger too. There was this pond in a provincial park we would always go to and I adored just skating around looking at all the snow covering the trees and bushes. There was a nearby cabin that would sell hot cocoa. Quote:

Do you skate professionally or just for the fun of it? I wouldn't mind skating again, but I don't know of any small ponds around here that would be suitable enough. I'm afraid that I would fall through the ice if I tried skating on a body of water that is too big. Icing rinks just aren't the same thing. Have you tried tobogganing? Weee! So much fun! There use to be a tobogganing hill at the same provincial park I went to for skating, but last time I went, they had the hill closed off.  Quote:

I'm artistic, lolQuote:
To skate 'prof', you have to command WAY MORE skills, than I've got currently. I'm just a wee-little tyke, learning basic-skills. - But considering -when I started... the (cluelessly harmful doctors claimed 4 times no less I would die  ), & I summarily-ignored & fired them), and then passed my 1st. 2 little ice-tests; & have incrementally moved my goal-posts further..., I have come a looong way. Not by official Skating-standards, but JUST me, family & Skating-friends. Quote:
so falling-Thru anything?. NO worries. . | |||

Fascinating personal discoveries are FUN:John Lennon's song: "Imagine..." to which my Favorite Figure-skater Sasha Cohen skates: Sasha Cohen - "Imagine" - YouTube is a 3-minute long Program. - Well, the 1st. program of any skater is all of 60-seconds So, by orchestrating this song just right, & given the right Choreography, this could work for a Beginner too.Yeah, we'll just add this, to the other 100 Programs already in our head |
