Do you like ice skating?

Post Reply New Topic

I love ice skating. I love moving as fast as possible on the ice and being brave enough to go in the middle. I don’t get to do it too much because most people I know don’t like it. I always try to invite people to ice skate but I hear the same things:
1. “Too cold.”
2. “I don’t want to fall.”
Does anyone else like ice skating?

I tried it once...fell a bunch of times...never tried it again lol. I'd practice as long as there are not other people watching me.

I haven't been in years, but I loved it as a kid. I even wanted to play ice hockey for a while, but unfortunately, it is really expensive.

I tried to take lessons as a kid, but was awful at it.

I never been. Where I grew up barely had any freezing weather all winter so very few people have been ice skating there. I did try regular skating alittle as a kid & I totally s#cked at it. I do NOT have the motor-skills or coordination for it. I think ice skating is too dangerous for me.

I only taught myself to skate at the age of 17 - I was too scared before. I'm not very good, and have to kind of relearn it every time, but I like it.

I haven't skated since I was around 12, and even then I wasn't very good at it. In the winter the teacher would occasionally take the class to a skating rink, but I didn't go on the ice much. But then one day I learned how to push my skates so that I could move across the ice and manage to keep my balance.

But skates are murder on my feet and ankles and if I tried wearing them now it would be too painful and difficult to even stand up. I'm so envious of figure skaters, they look so graceful and agile. But of course, they've been training to skate like that for years.

My dad used to take me and my siblings to the ice skating rink when we were kids. I was pretty decent at ice skating. My brother and sister fell on their butts a lot and almost never got off the wall.

No, I've never liked skating (nor skiing). Both are murder for my ankle areas, I'm nit good at it and I think it's less fun than poking my eyes. I haven't been on skis since I was 8 and not been on skates since I was 11.

Love ice skating. Been doing it since I was 6. Really hard to do initially though, and it can hurt your ankles pretty bad.

Where I live, sometimes a lake could freeze up to a point where you can actually skate on there yourself.

I tried ice skating but I found it harder then Roller skating (which I was good at) now that I'm older and not as nimble as I was I wouldn't be able to do either.

I don't like it much. I remember one day at the age of 9 when some neighbourhood boys asked if I can skate faster than my younger sister and I told them I could. I made myself skate as fast as I possibly could and than I fell and broke my right ankle. I bet those two boys felt horrible after that happened. I've been skating a few times since than. I bet that I would be horrible on the ice now. I'm over 40 years old.

I love to watch figure skating on television. It was my favorite sport to watch before I got into tennis big time.

I was sort of forced to watch it as a kid. It was constantly on "Wide World of Sports." Ultimately, I developed a respect and a liking for it. This only occurred after I matured some.

I wanna try. I'd take the invitation if it was given to me.
As a child, I'm good with skating and enjoyed it. But I'm sure it's not the same thing of course. The sensation of cold won't stop me -- I'd rather savor the sensation of momentum and movement for it. I'm not afraid of falling.


Anyway... I never had an opportunity to. It doesn't snow from where I live.
And doing it on an artificial snow rink would cost me about equivalent to 3-6 USD per half an hour if not more expensive with less time allowed.
