i am 16, and would LOVE to become proficient in figure skating.

unfortunately, i am (1) very out of practice...i haven't done it regularly up to this point, and (2) am not very agile. i used to take gymnastics, but no longer do.

i'm willing to put effort into this, as i feel it is a beautiful form of self-expression, as well as an impressive and challenging activity, and so if i am still able to learn, i will.

i'm not looking to compete at this point, either. this is just for my personal happiness.

however, is 16 too late? and exactly how long will progress take?

thanks!

Mine would be either Mark Frank Montoya for his flowing style or Jussi Oksanen for his amazing switch tricks.

I just got back from an intense week of snowboarding in Colorado and I have the bug. I am looking for something all-purpose to continue learning on, but am willing to spend an extra few bucks for the investment.

I am 5'10'' and about 175lbs and have been using a 157 board.

Im also into graphic design so I would love a pretty creative design. I really love the designs on the Burton Uninc boards, but dont think those really functionally fit with what I am capable of doing.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Given mild interest, I wonder if the answer isn't 'free skiis,' but I worry about having a rough time -- it's been almost twenty years since I last skiied -- and giving up even though part of it might be the fault of the skiis.

How lousy can I get away with if I want cheap ones?

Or is it worth spending a few bucks?

Got any suggestions for brands, good web sites, price ranges, etc?

Last year I took beginner ice skating lessons. When I first went out on the ice I couldn't even stand on the skates by the time I finished my lessons (16 lessons) I could slowly stroke around the rink. Close and hanging on to the boards. How can I get away from the boards and improve my balance? Is there anything or exercises that I can do to improve these areas. By the way I was 44 when I took my first lesson. Thanks.

I'm a beginner, just started last year and I went on my first black (no falling, yay!) last weekend. No, I can't carve or do tricks.

I'm female, 5ft. 3 1/2 in. or 161.29 centimeters, weigh 110 pounds or 50 kilograms. I wear a shoe size 7 1/2 and sometimes 8.

Yes, I know that the board should got up to between my nose and chin, but I'm looking to order a board online and that won't help very much, will it? I thought that 148cm was a good size, but I was told to get a smaller one. Also, the snowboard sizing guide at http://www.frostyrider.com/tips/size-guide.htm told me to get a 140cm, but isn't that a little short?

Any and all help is appreciated, thanks!
