RE: What is your favourite winter activity? (4th installment)
I tried, I failed. I fell, I got back up. I fell on my ass, I laughed. Maybe I just need more practice, but every time I put on ice skates, my knees wobble. Sure, I only tried it twice, but still. Unfortunately, there are no outdoor rinks here.
the biggest tip is to keep your toes pointing outward so you can dig in. Also keeping your knees slightly bent you you can adjust your balance.
Also you don't need an ice pack for your but as you end up sitting on ice already when you fall!
Looking back, it's funny how children half my size where skating circles around me as I was sitting on the cold ice. It wasn't funny at the time though. Wasn't funny at all.
