A Skating Thread?

[sime42]

Anyone else do it at all; ice, quad, inline or whatever?

Very badly if that counts?

 

Ice isn't too bad, can get around but never had much chance with inline skates... but... the Boy has canoes for feet and is giving me his hand-me-downs for next year.

[sime42]

That counts. I think Ice is the hardest, so you'll be fine in your boy's canoes. 

 

I can do it, been skating since childhood, but nothing spectacular. I really enjoy it. Recently started going to a local roller disco. Ostensibly for my lad, but I enjoy it as much if not more than he does. I use inline skates but fancy getting a pair of Quads for the craic, dunno what to look for though.

We did a roller disco on a holiday couple of years ago - inline skates and I did OK there, but another end of last year on roller skates (quad skates?) - found them a lot harder. It was good fun, music was 'proper' music - at least my era disco.

 

Keep suggesting we give it another go - there is a place up here just roller disco so no excuses really.

 

Mind I do fancy inline skates more, appeals to the runner in me I think - get to see more stuff

Can't beat a bit of skating if you can find a rink,if not you'll have to use roller blades !

We've got an ice rink fairly local too. Always enjoy that but the roller skating/blading place is only a mile down the road so that is too easy a choice.

Absolutely jealous of you having a permanent rink ,just saying to my other half about going to a proper ice rink and how it seems to be a thing of the 80s and early  90s. 

If not I will have to go to Denmark as they have a decent rink in the square every Xmas

Ice skating - been playing ice hockey for the last few years in Bristol. Grew up skating at Ally pally in jeans, one slip and you’d be soaking wet and freezing, taught you to get good pretty quick!
