XI Wiki
I cannot skate, I've tried, not able to do.
What will girls think of me if I repeatly fall down on my ass and laugh, and generally not giving a shit.
Falling on ice doesn't hurt as much as concrete but I'm bothered by my previous inability to skate !!
I've been skating 3 times in my life ever, that's it. I just need some survival tips for the day but at the same time giving off a confidence vibe!!!

Go free skate every day as much as possible. Just work on being able to push off few times and glide. Bend you knees and lean slightly forward, or you'll fall on your ass, too much, you'll fall forward.

roller blading is alot easier to stay on your feet (no slippery ice, and unless you're using figure skates, it's easier to fall backwards on ice skates)

Rollerbladed once! But I had protection. So that didn't hurt too much either.
Anyway I'm trying to get out of this "event" to hide my inadeptness at balancing!!!
I'm not able to locate an arena to do stuff in, seems like it's all lessons/events in my local one!!
but i remember falling on ice and it didn't seem as bad as concrete, whereas i get all sorts of cuts and stuff on concrete

the hardest part about ice skating is telling your parents that you're gay

not learn but basically be basic =p
some sorta work event (but not arranged through work but personal) with some people that are visiting from another branch, some girls are involved. i want to look a bit more pro/cool that's all, since if i can get to a point where i can teach someone, lots of touching be involved!

Skate on land using in-line skates and Ice skating becomes a breeze. Only difference is that you can stop the same way you can on land with ice but besides that, it's the same thing.

Why don't you let the bitches teach you how to skate. They'd be all "aww that's cure lemme show you how" then hang out with you all day.
