poll: have you ever been ice skating?

[piske]

Yes, I used to skate quite often when I was younger. However, I stopped liking it because it got to be painful. I have really weak ankles lol and it hurt them a lot to skate. So I just sort of stopped :< I would like to try it again now as an adult but I'm afraid of falling on the ice xD I guess if I put on a bunch of gear I would try ;w;

 

[Vizionari]

No, but I want to sometime, though c:

yeah, haha. i played ice hockey for 6 years. i still skate sometimes though. i love it so much.
i grew up in a state that had over 10 ice rinks to go to, and now i live in this ****ty texas city and they literally have one rink and it's never open for free skate when i have time to go.

I have an ice skating rink next to my house. I went maybe once or twice a year years ago.. and I still never learned how to ice skate.

There is a giant ice skating rink in Glasgow on at Christmas time and i went when i was 8 and i fell on my butt. Want to do it again now that i'm older but it's paying for it.

 

[MozzarellaSticks]

A few times. I suck, and am terrified of cutting myself.

 

[Izzy Reincarnated]

Skating is love, Skating is life. <3

I'm a figure skater.

Also, don't be afraid to fall. Falling is part of being good at skating.

 

[matt]

Yes I have many times
i seem to find it rather boring now, I have a skating rink set up for the winter in the city centre a few miles from my house. Standing up for ages moving about is quite boring I am capable of skating without falling over

 

[radioloves]

Yes, I love it. I was a senior figure skater a long time ago, did some competing and stuff but yeah after a while I grew out of it xD
Now and then I would go with some friends and skate around a mall and ice skate above the river. It's deffinitely fun and worth your enjoyment and time

 

[nintendofan85]

Yes, but only twice. Our local ice rink closed.

 

[Alienfish]

Once or twice I guess. I can't stand on those for life tho hah

 

[kanvrises]

Uhh, once when I was six or so and in upstate New York! But I couldn't even begin to use ice skates, so I wore my little hello kitty boots and it was soooo much fun!!! Does that count?

 

[tumut]

I have never been ice skating.

 

[tybalt_cake]

Yep many times! Yesterday was the most recent ice skating event

 

[Soigne]

No, I've never been ice skating. It looks fun, and I would love to try it, but there are no ice skating rinks nearby.

 

[uwuzumakii]

I've only been skating 3 times. I haven't gone in a while.

 

[Reese]

I've been twice, the first time I was around 12 and the second I was 19. The first time wasn't pleasant because I think I had the wrong size skates and so my ankles hurt the whole time, I pretty much just clung to the wall the whole time. The second time was much better, I could actually balance on my own, but thinking back I probably looked really stupid because I couldn't go very fast or get the right stance haha. Thankfully I didn't fall either time (although I came close the second time and a stranger had to help guide me to the wall lmao)

I would definitely skate more if there was a rink near where I live!! It seems like it'd be so fun to be good at it. Plus I enjoyed rollerblading as a kid which is similar (though I think the technique is slightly different?)

 

[Serine_Sapphire88]

I've never been ice skating before. I'm a liitle afraid of hurting myself without proper knowledge but not much. I've tried regular roller skating but I wasn't good at it. And even if I wanted to, there isn't an ice rink anywhere near where I live. The only one I know of is about 15-30 minutes away.

So yeah. Though to be honest, I feel like I'm not missing much.

 

[kassie]

no ((( i wish

 

[ams]

Yep! I did tons of ice skating in the winters as a kid up here in Canada
