there has been nothing in my life that i have wanted more than to learn (by a teacher) how to figure skate. while i was young, my mother didnt take much care of us. so i never had the opportunity to start early (witch is the best thing to do i've heard)but money, and time and discrimination kept me from doing what i wanted to do. now... all i can do is watch in aww as the beauties of the ice, dance accross the glistening water in its frozen state. (as i always have, since the age of three.) i remember back then, having my entire room decorated in beautiful posters,dealing with them being torn off every other week. sneeking off to see the compititions on tv. i am now 17. 18 within months upcomming. is that too erly to start? the other BIGGEST problem is that i am overweight. it has been so hard for me to get rid of it. most of it is genetic.i couldn't do ballet. is that a sign that i would not be able to ice dance? i have barely leaned to ice skate (because of the sheltered life) and that is another set back. the only thing i ask from all of you who read this, is either support and help and confidence that i so desperately need, or something that may help me see that it just could be hopeless. i need to know. i need someone. i cant gain confidence alone. please help me... thanks ~mandi~ |

Hi MandyDon't let anything stop you skating. I started because I had asthma and wanted to do something to help me keep fit. I went along to public sessions at first, then after 6 months decided to have lessons. Most rinks cater for free skating and ice dance lessons. Ice dance tends to be more popular because its more social. Why not give it a try. I was 25 when I started so you've got several years on me!! |

Hi Mandy, Hello MC Nige.Dont stop skating. Skating is the best. I think you will both agree. When I started skating it was the early 90's and even though boards were thin and wheels were small we still managed shovit late flips, which both of you know were quite hard. Now I dont skate as much, but being a "complete bellend" of a man you will understand. I hope this helps you get Kung Po from Asda at some point. Just remember, "music is the key". Nigel Croxford. |
