I've been going on the ice with my daughter since the beginning of 2015. It's been fun teaching her to move around on her own, but now it's time to focus on me and step it up.

The rink near my job has a learn to skate program for all ages, which I'll be enrolled in for 5 weeks.

Since finish LTS, I've been taking private lessons weekly. The journey continues.

Update Feb 2017

Still at it. Getting ready to start with MITF tests and started a Youtube channel to track progress: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsNHQCEVO1lK3G6tAYDLC3g

Skating is absolutely awesome. You feel like you are gliding over the ground... which you technically are.  I am canadian so i use hockey skates... :P 

I tried ice skating for the first time in grade 8. I remember going to fast and didn't know how to break, fell right on my stomach. It knocked the wind out of me. It scared me for awhile until I realized what a basic skill it was to know.By my third year of university, I had to learn to skate. So I bought some Ice skates from goodville and went to my local community center for the whole day. I fell alot but got right back up, by the end of the day, I had learned how to balance myself. I felt proud after that whenever I went out on dates or with friends ice skating that I no longer needed to hold someones hand. They held my hand for balance.

it was my first time to ice skate. and i didnt thought i know how. haha. i was a roller blader back then. it was just the same. so when i first step on the ice. suddenly, i can ice skate and it was amazing. discovered something that i didnt know.

 

i went with my youth club iceskating

hard to maintain your balance! but yu learn overtime :D 

Not the best but love it!

It was my first time to do this and it was on a New Year!! I had a lot of fun with my friend. The first step on ice was really hard, that I couldn't get my feet moving the right way. I kept on slipping and couldn't get my balance. It wasn't so easy but I kept trying and trying until after almost an hour holding on the wall of the rink, I was able to walk a little bit. There was a 5-year old boy who was skating like a pro with his dad, and that boy inspired me a lot to keep on going. Ooops! I didn't fell off to tell you guys! Haha! So I think that wasn't bad for a first-timer! Hahaha!

It was actually easier than I thought it was going to be.

Who knew, of ALL places, that I'd learn within 10 minutes in the Philippines?  

 It was nice to glide on the ice, without really needing to take a step.

ice skating is so magestic man

When I was very little (I think a was about 6 years old) my mom took me skating on the lake near our house, so I learned skating on a very young age and I love it. Can't wait to go skating again in the winter on a real lake (because that's how skating needs to be).

 

 Cant believe I did in my first time haha. Absolutely a funny experience.

Learned ice-skating when I was around 5 years old.

 

Cet hiver...  

Took ice-skating lessons for years when I was young.
