Last night I stepped on the ice for the first time in about 12 years. It was a pretty humorous experience. I never fell, but I did lose my balance a few times. I only really attempted one jump, which turned out to be when I wasn’t really moving….at all. I skated about everyday when I was a kid, so the fact that cross overs proved a bit difficult was a bit surprising. But skating is a bit like riding a bike; it took 20 minutes, but I got to where I could skate around comfortably forwards and fairly decently backwards.
I think it’ll take a few more times to break my skates in. I got a few blisters on my ankles, but compared to pointe shoes, it’s not that bad. I definetely want to go back and do it again soon! Maybe next time, I’ll attempt a spin!
