I'm calling upon the community for help… as you might know i'm planning to go ice skating with the girl in the previous blog… pretty different and romantic no? Problem is… i've never ice skated at all… some of my friends say it's nothing like rollerblading. My friend say it's exactly like rollerblading only you should skate on the inside of your feet… i have a feeling my butt and the ice are gonna be well acquainted… so what's your say?

Okay flashback wants more junk in here so i'll add some… hmm… i had school today. amazing huh? My english teacher pulled me over and told me i need to stop relying on being a cute and actually do my work… wtf? That's actually kinda wierd. Okay that's enough filler.

Ice skating is incredibly fun! I started by merely just rollerskating with the inside of my feet. It's harder than roller blading because of the lack of friction and also for the fact that it's cold when you fall. [:)] Ice skating is fun.

Meh, ice skating is very entertaining, but hard. I'll tell you one thing… You WILL NOT be good at it on your first try. Even if you are the best roller skater ever.

I've only been ice skating once, and that was a long time ago. Just remember, when (not if, when) you fall and land on the ice, get your hands out the way of other peoples skates, unless you want to loose your lil piggies that is.

The most effective method of stopping is either sliding into the nearest wall, or into someone else; though they may not be best ways of stopping.

Basic ice skating is really easy. It's just like rollerblading, except you have to adjust to the ice. After a few falls, you will pick it up no problem if you can rollerblade fine.

Lean your skate forward and dig into the ice if you want to stop. Just lean the skate not your body, otherwise its a faceplant :)

I can ride a six-foot tall unicycle, but ice skating is impossible for me. Good luck, that's all I can say.
