Hello everyone,
I'm really excited. Today I finally convinced my mom to bring me ice skating after over 2 months of wanting to/asking. It's so weird to process actually getting a yes haha. Things have been really rough lately so this is just so nice. I pretend to figure skate every day....just the thought of clumsily trying on the ice sounds so wonderful. Ok, xD, so!
I have a few questions. Hopefully we will be there for 2 h and 15 mins. That's how long the rink is open on the 2 days we would be going anyways.
I'm wondering if there is anything that I could possibly practice on in this time.
I don't know how often I'd be able to go to this rink, I'd love to go every day if I could, but realistically that can't happen for me lol. I don't know when I'll be back again, if I was really lucky it would become a weekly thing, and maybe some lessons being thrown int here too. But that probably won't be the case. I didn't know what I could really even practice that would be beneficial, so I came here. I've been ice skating a few times before, but it's been at least a year, I feel like at least 2 years actually, since I've gone. I kinda have to relearn every time. Any suggestions (especially detailed ones) would be really appreciated, as I will most likely be going on Monday! And if you can think of any videos that would be helpful those would be a great help too.
This next part might be a bit silly haha. Is there any way to choose a good pair of rental skates for the day? I took a couple of group lessons a few years ago for ice skating and i remember every time my feet hurt after only a few minutes of wearing them. Is there any way to actually tell if I'm getting a good pair or not? I wouldn't really know what to look for. I just want things to be going as smooth as possible, because this is something I've wanted to do so bad for a long time haha. Of course I'd love to get my own skates, but I don't know how my parents would feel about that (even though I'd pay), plus I don't know how often they'd be used, and how quickly I'd grow out of them. So I'm trying to make the most out of what I have lol.
Oh, also, what is the proper way to lace ice skates? If someone could explain that it would be greatly appreciated haha. Any other beginner tips would help as well!
Gosh I'm so excited. I wish I could do this all the time. Here's to hoping this won't only be a one time thing!
