    Default Iceskating

    Who likes iceskating, and when's the last time you went?

    I went a couple of weeks ago, and it was fun. Me and my friends were skating with mostly a bunch of teenagers (not that there's anything wrong with that, and lots of them were far too good at it) but it kinda made me feel younger, cos I guess I used to do that with my friends when I was younger a lot... ^_^

    It all went well until all my friends were sitting out having a break, and I stopped to say hi while going round, by grabbing the side....a little too late. So I fell over for the first time ever And my butt was cold. And my friend found it hilarious

    Yeah iceskating makes me all nostalgic, I like it.

    Awww god iceskating, geez... Back in the day (when I was like 10 - 15) I used to iceskate all the time infact I used to be a male figure-skater I got to grade 7 in it which is just below the grade needed to do competitions. I also used to play ice hockey for an under 15s team was good fun but I was too small to do well so I dropped out soon after starting. Oh and for any guy who decides that figure skating is feminine or girly try throwing a 7 - 8 stone girl with razor sharp blades on her feet that sweep past your throat close enough to feel the cold of the edge.

    I used to go a half dozen times or so when I lived up north, but now that it never freezes where I live, I rarely get the chance. I do enjoy rollerblading here though.

    I hate Ice scating. Sliding on the ice in a car is freaking fun though. I will go out and whip [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]ties on the lake for hours when it freezes over.

    My boyfriend and I went ice skating a few months ago. We were not good at it.

    But I proved my point that there was ice in Southern California. So that's something.

    Hate it with a passion. The first and last time I tried was when I was 10. I just kept falling on my butt and I didnt enjoy it at all!

    I've never been, unfortunately.

    It looks like a lot of fun, albeit a lot of extremely dangerous fun. Or perhaps I'm just being a prude.

    I tried it once, but I have terrible balance so I ended up on my butt more often than not.

    I've been about three times. There aren't many opportunities down here to skate. I wasn't very good, but it was fun...
