When have you last been ice skating?

October 8, 2009 3:10pm CST
The winter is approaching quickly and I am getting ready to convince my husband (again) that ice skating is great fun. He only remembers the falling on his backside, so he isn't quite as keen. But I am determined to go again when the ice rinks open. When was the last time you gave it a go?

I think it was last year and that was my first time also. We had fun and I want to try it again even though I always fell into the ground.. I know, I can do it the next time I try it and I will not fall again.

I have not been ice skating since I was a kid and that has been a long time ago. At my age I do not know if I could stand up with the ice skates on. I did like it alot when I was a kid. I remember we use to do the whip around the ice rink boy that was fun.

I actually have never ice skated. I'm always falling when I go roller skating, so I don't think I'd be much better at ice skating. But my daughter is great and really enjoys ice skating. Have fun when you go!

OMG probably when I was 10. which was 30 yrs ago. I used to rollerblade though, right up until I had my first child at age 31. They are kind of similar I guess, without the slippery ice LOL

I haven't been ice skating for about 10 years since I went with my school as a day trip when I was 15. I liked it until I kept falling over onto my bum and then gave up lol

The last time I went skating was in August. Where I live, we have several indoor rinks that are open all year long. I am a figure skating myself, and my little one who is 4 also loves the sport. I was skating with her for a while . . . but now I am expecting a second one - so I am temporarily off the ice. We don't have outdoor skating here - too warm. That's something I have yet to try! Have fun when you go skating - and I hope you get to convince your hubby to go too!

I spent most of my school years in Anchorage, Alaska. Ice skating was a part of my daily routine. In gym class, we were offered the chance to go outside to the school's ice rink and ice skate. i couldn't get enough. i used to fantasize that I was an Olympic skater like dorothy Hamill. I wasn't even close! But i enjoyed ice skating more than anything. I haven't really ice skated since graduating high school though. Now I am missing it!

Hey! I took figure skating lessons for about 5 years and then gave it up to go to college... Every once in a while I still manage to drive out to the rink and give it a go.. But For the second time in about a year I went ice skating yesterday! I had sooo much fun! It amazes me how much I still remember from when I took lessons. I am super sore today! I am soo out of shape! I decided that I'm going to start figure skating regularly and get myself back in shape!
