Is it easy ice skating?
Heck No!!! The first time i did it i brused my elbow badly from falling over so much!! ( though it waz my first time)
Reply:I've grown up ice skating my whole life, and I find it very easy. umm just remember to glide on the ice, don't take steps like you're walking, and bend your knees when you're turning, and hang on to a wall if it's your first time and you feel like you're going to fall. also, make sure your skates aren't so loose that they feel like they're going to fall off, but it's important that they're not too tight either.
Reply:its not easy,bend your knees and keep your ankles strong

Reply:I remember trying it when I was real young (10 or so) and I couldn't stay up for the life of me.... I lack a lot of balance though, it may come naturally to some people though.
Reply:ice skating is really fun! you'll love it!





if you've ever gone roller skating its basically like that, but on ice.





if you haven't, well, when you first get out on the ice, stay by the wall, and hold onto it as you practice skating, so you don't get hit by more experienced skaters in the middle of the ice going really fast. not to worry you though, i don't think you'll get hit. don't worry, people will move around you, once they recognize you're a beginner skater, i doubt you'll be yelled at for moving too slowly.





realize you will fall at some point. its not exactly pleasant, but its not really painful either. maybe you'll get a little bruised, but you'll be fine. i'd bring some gloves with you if you fall, and also because it will probably be cold.

Reply:OK Hannah lets give this some deep thought.


You are on two thin blades of steel, your cold, and gliding on a surface not intended for humans, let alone humans with blades strapped onto their feet. Don't forget you have to dodge other human cannonballs flying at you at UN-natural speeds, people falling in front of you, along side you, and glaring at you because you are in the way.


YES it is hard, not impossible but not easy.
Reply:if you know how to roller blade, then u know how to ice skate, but yeah it is pretty easy
Reply:never tried. Got on roller skates when I was young and fell one time that's all it took
