Ice skating

[Shamain]

Do you enjoy doing it, also trained or rookie. Or average. Any accidents you suffered. Like skidding, falling or cutting your hand through blade.

Well i am not trained and do even worst than noobs once on the rink. had once almost broken my back when i had the most embarrassing fall or slip right in the mid of the rink.
blade injuries also happen incase u dont know.

Despite all that i love ice skating and wish i were an expert in it. nothing could as much fun as skating if you really could do it well.
How abt you?

Ihad tried chair. Not too muc help.
Actually there are techniques involved that u learn thru proper courses.

One thing iknow is when you skate , ok see the front most part of blade is jagged , you know uneven, now this is what helps in skating. Like when you slide your blades on the ice, you do it in a from-back-to-front motion , as in when ur blade is on the ice you push back your shoe uptil the front jagged part. Now when this jagged tip rubs with the ice it gives the resistence that helps u stay on ice floor. But one needs practice for that, but a beginners tip it is.
