Ice skating tips please...

Posted by chiggerfruit on Nov. 6, 2006, 3:46 p.m.

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.

rollerskating is fun, if you're REALLY good at rollerskating, you won't really fall, but it will still be dificult

don't worry though, falling down will make the date more fun, and she'll lean over to help you get up :D

Hah, don't listen to them. (Except pacman)

I went ice skating for the first time at 8 years old. It was just like rollerblading. I even stopped the way you would do on rollerblades (even though that's not the correct way, the correct way is to shift your weight to the side and angle your blades at a 30-45* angle to the ice)

So yeah, if you can rollerblade, you'll be fine. You'll probably fall a few times, just don't embarrass yourself by saying something stupid in front of her when you fall.

Also, walls are very convenient. Much more convenient than cold, hard ice. Keep that in mind.

Don't worry about being perfect, you'll probably be better off just telling her that you're not the best ice skater.

That's all the advice I have =)

Ice skating…hm…the last time I ice-skated, I fell about 194 times…

Meh, isn't it enough? I totally forget the minimum number.

I never ice-skated. I was really good at roller-blading though. Never went rollerblading for a while now.

It's easier than roller-blading(IMO)
