Ice Skating

Ok, I have been figure skating for some time and I intend to get my own skates. I have read up on skate care guides about how to protect your skates. But just wondering, do you wash your skates? Won't it smell after wearing it for some time and you sweat?

I have started to go to the gym every day for two hours because even though in my town there isn't a thing in which someone can learn to skate i want very much to go to learn. I am 17 years old and that thing was created a year ago in the capital which is 2 hours from my place. I wasn't able at all to learn because i wanted to skate since 14 years old and there wasn't that. And i want to compete one day. Do i have possibilities to succeed that or should i forget it once and for all?

Ok.. I can do it from backward crossovers. Just when I'm about to cross over, I stop. I think it's my shoulders (uneven). How can I change the bad habit?

I am interested in figure skating. I am 17 years old and i have started gymnastic a week ago, but the problem is that in my town there isn't a school(i don't know how you say it)for skating, there is only one in the capital of my country. And it is really difficult to go there. I first saw skating in TV 4 years ago and i was interested very much but now i feel that i want it more and i don't know what to do. First of all, can i start even if i am 17 years old? Second, i don't think that gymnastic is going to help me a lot. Please, i need advice.

I have set a goal for myself, I hope to have backwards crossovers, gliding backwards, scratch spin and a toe loop down by the end of 2007 do you all think this is a resonable goal?

I am 32 years old and am obsessed with figure skating. I want to learn some tricks that are fun to do and just some basic skating technique. But, I don't want to take group lessons with a bunch of 4 and 5 year olds. Any advice out there on how to go about this including what is reasonable to expect to accomplish...the style and kind of boots/blades to get...etc. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Okay so I have developed rub marks from my boot and so has my daughter. I am wondering what solution you would have to this problem. I have seen cushions and I wonder how effective they are, and where can get them at an inexpensive or the least priced cost. I have also seen briefs with cushions in them to better cushion falls. Any thoughts on these?

2006-12-14 09:03:03 · 2 answers · asked by WINGS 4

does anyone know how much it would cost and how much time is practice? I've heard that ice skaters practice routines for hours a day. How do they still have time for school? I would like to start lessons for my daughter but I wouldn't want her to start missing school because of it. Plus I live in a small town in Tx, and I feel like there is not a lot of options here. Thanks

I am a young athletic male who doesn't know how to ice skate.

What kind of skates should I get? Where can I get cheap ones? Any tips or suggestions about anything related to learning how to skate is appreciated.

Preferably the Dayton area, but Cincy or Columbus would be okay too. Romantic if possible, and outdoors. Thanks for your help!

Hmm. okay since many said stuff about soakers, which the one and only store in my country only stocks bunny soakers or some stuffed animal soakers, i'll want to know how to make a soaker myself?

what's terry cloth? will sponge do? how do i mke my own soakers? lol i'm sorry this question is pathetic but i really dont wish for my skates to rust.

ps. i still haven get it settled but i applied oil. it shouldnt continue rusting, by logic..
