So...tomorrow I'm going ice skating for the first time ever. I know, I'm in Alabama, wtf mate. Yeah we have indoor ice skating rinks apparently. Nobody told me.
The point is I'm a bit nervous. I'm not the most coordinated person. I'm not that great at roller skating, and this is like roller skating with knives on your feet.
SO WHAT ABOUT YOU GUYS? Ever been ice skating? Want to go? Have any life-long injuries caused by ice skating? =0

Don't worry, the blades arent sharp, more just a flat bottom. And start out slow, and as you build up your confidence, it is one hellofa ride. I think it is eaiser than roller skating, but maybe thats just me. I love Ice skating.

I used to love ice-skating until my step-brother told me about a friend he knew that fell and put his hands down to break his fall, and someone skated right over them and chopped off his fingers. Turned out he was kidding though. But I never got over it... now everytime I go, I'm very conscious to fall on my elbows and not put my fingers down on the ice.

I have never been ice skating, sadly. I would very much like to go, someday.

Don't worry, no one would be going fast enough to chop your fingers off. And if they were, since its not a sharp blade(unless they have their own) it would cause them to trip over your hand.

I can rollerskate pretty well, but I picked up ice skating much faster.
Just be prepared to fall a lot, you're butt will hurt.
Just like last night.

Nope, but I'll admit my bum is a wee bit sore. Sitting down at the computer for long periods of time does that, you know. I mean...um, *insert sexual joke.*

I had a great time lol. I only fell once! My friend fell like 20 times, so it made me look better.
It was really scary at first, but then I got used to it. When I fell, it surprised me that the ground (ice, whatever) was cold. That was weird. Of course ice is cold. O.o Oh well. xD

I used to go ice-skating almost every week two years ago,but then I sprained my wrist and had to stop for a while,then when I returned to the rink,I fell and sprained my ankle,which is still kinda messed up even now. So yeah...I kinda messed up my leg ice-skating,and I had to give it up for good. I still go ice-skating,though,once or twice a month in the winter. I love the dynamics it gives you,and that feeling as if you're flying...it's ultra cool.
