Before I get into much of a description, let me say, it has been over 10 years since I last ice skated. I do not remember much about how good I was back then, but I believe I was somewhat proficient at the very least. An opportunity arose, and I decided I wanted to try skating again.. So I went out and bought ice skates on New Year's Eve... They were hockey skates, and I did not like them.. Then it turned out, the trip I bought them for never even happened.. LOL. So, they went back to the store, and I bought this set of skates... And I love them! I can actually balance on these... Still need lots of time to get used to them, however. I flail all over the place.. And I can't stop, lol. Save for slamming into the wall....

Nice thing is, there's a school VERY close to where I live, O'Malley Elementary, and their ice rink is pretty well maintained.. And as this video was taken sometime around 10 at night, there's no one else around to watch me make a fool out of myself.. I did not think I would stay on my feet, this is pure truth. But I did not fall once. I shocked even myself. Lots of stumbling around though...
