I love skating. Not really figure skating but I can skate pretty well. My boyfriend is from the Netherlands, and over there you have a pair of skates strapped to your feet the first winter after you learned to walk. It's great to skate on the natural ice, and they have a very spectacular ice rink for speed skating near where his parents live (www.vechtsebanen.nl). I have my own skates (Nike hockey/recreational skates) that are waaaaay more comfortable than figure skates, I'd highly recommend them - (broken link removed). Can't wait till the season starts again and I can get back into it, been a couple of years since I was into it majorly!

I have only gone skating once but really liked it. I live in Southern California and its kind of hard to find places to skate. There is one that I know about nearby and that's about it.

Cool! I really love ice skating - takes my friends about 20 minutes to wrench my hands of the side bar though :) But once I get on the ice I'm fine. I also like rollerblading

I love ice-skating too! The first time I went I was nervous but once I got going it was great fun! The only thing was that I was worried sick that I might fall over and someone would skate over my hand! I'm too much of a worrier!

That's cool!
I like agressive sports! i havn't ever seen rollerblading personaly but it sounds really cool i use to rollerblade all the time when i was 8-9. I like dirt bikes and skate boarding and BMX. I want to learn how to dirt bike, mom and aunt say it wont happen because i'm girl but there are alot of female dirt bike compitions I just have to save up for a bike l.o.l i think it would be so awesome to learn the other sports above too.

Sorry got off track, figure skating? It's cool. I have ice skated one and fell on my butt and got up and fell on my butt again, ":expressio it was at a party:rolleyes: " but if it's something you really would like to do i think you should go for it!!

I always was really picky when I was younger about anything extra on my scheduale (God I can never spell that!) First it was Ballet, then trumpet, then Voilin, then Tap, Jazz, and Irish Dance, then Ballet again, Then piano which I play proffesionally until this day. I've been thinking about double majoring in it *Goes to look at courses*

I love skating and playing ice hockey. Down the street from my house a basketball court is iced(sprayed with water, it freezes, there ya go!) and it's great to just walk over after school. I can't figure skate but it'd be cool to learn.

I used to take basic skating lessons but stopped to do horseback riding. Now that I don't have a trainer for riding, I decided to take a break from that and take up skating again. I am getting in the more experienced levels now where I get to learn the fun spin stuff! I love it!

I looked at my post here and wondered why the heck my name was here as I don't remember posting on it. Then I looked at the date - this thread is a year and a half old. Ho hum.

I love ice skating! Not exactly figure skating, I just do it for fun. I can't do a triple axle or anything, but I go fairly fast!

A park near my house has a really big lake that froze, and people are allowed to skate on it. It's a huge area so it's really nice. It's kind of scary though when it's make the really loud sounds when the ice shifts!

If you want to learn, it's pretty easy, I learned quickly. I think it's very similar to rollerblading.

Oops this thread didn't have any posts since a month ago. Oh well.
