Ice Skating Problem !!!? |
I really......really love ice skating. Every time I go to the ice skating rink and look at others skate, I feel more and more encouraged to do it. I have never ice skated before but I am so desperate to do it. Help please. I need to know what I need before I actually start ice skating. Any advise? Second problem is that the one and only skating rink there is is wayyy far from my home. What should I do? How am I going to practise in like ONE day??? Please also tell me what items and basic skills I may need. well first of all, youve already got the most important aspect to the sport of figure skating: the love for it. to do well in skating, the most important part is the passion and devotion. thats what got me to where i am today. so congrats on that to start with =) one thing you need to know before you even step on that ice is to be ready to be discouraged, and be ready to look past that and keep going. there were so many time that i have felt like quitting, but once you set your mind back into a postive state, you just gotta keep going! youre going to have to fall, and its probably gonna hurt, and youre going to have to get back up and try it again. to start with, you are going to need some skates, but you can get pretty cheap ones to begin with. and if you decide to stick with it after a few months, you can talk to a skate shop or coach about new skates. i got my first skates for only about $20. they helps me learn just the basic balnce and edges to skating. you might also want some knee pads, i found those extremely helpful in my case, but thats a personal decision. as far as the rink being far away from you, the only advice i can give is to try ot get there as much as you can, and even if you can get there too much.. when you do, skate for as long as you can! get in as much skating as possible while you are there. i hope everything works out for you, and good luck on the ice! any more questions, and im here to help! Source(s): a fellow skater ;) Errr.you need, um skates and er....ice! balace and some confidence, ice skating is pretty easy one you get the idea, just go along (take a friend who can skate as they can hold your hand while you learn) and try it, you will fall over adn it can hurt but make sure you are wrapped up warm and you'll be fine You love it but you've never done it? Then don't you think its about time!? We used to go on school trips ice skating for only a few short hours, and by the end of it everyone was rushing about like pros. Well, maybe not pros, but we were doing pretty good. Just get there, hire some skates (make sure they fit tight cos loose ones give you nasty blisters). Within a short while of edging around the outside, holding the wall, you'll start to get your balance, and once you can stay upright its much the same as roller skating. Be careful if you do fall, keep your hands out of the way of other skaters, cos those skates can do some harm! you'll need skates that fit you, a nice warm thick jumper for when you hit the ice (yes, it will happen) and maby some gloves just in case.
