I went to ice skating at Creve Coeur Ice Arena today. This is my second time skating on the real ice and this year’s first. Last year I did it at Forest Park. As I said in my another article I did more roller blade skating in recent years. But ice is more fun I think. It’s more diffcult to control the move on the ice because of the lack of friction. But it’s OK for me as a hobby. I used to watch a lot of figure skating (Michel Kuan, Sasha Cohen and Irina Slutskaya) on the TV, now I am happy I could move on the ice too, although much more awkward than those super stars. I saw some teenage girls doing spins and jumps and I admire them. I hope when I have kids they will be interested in this sport and do those amazing things.
