This time of year is always a time of reflection, so I thought this would be a good time to talk about your facvourite skating memories, and/or your own experiences on the ice.
My own experience on the ice is limited to a trip in 2001 with my local youth club to the Jet Centre in Coleraine (Jenna McCorkell's home town). It was scary! I was slipping and sliding all over the place. And although I did manage to complete one lap of the rink, I never let go of the boards!
At the time, I vowed never to go on the ice again. But, I am now starting to reconsider...
What about you? What was your first time on the ice like? Do you have any other on-ice stories that you would like to share with your fellow Golden Skate members?
This reminiscing was all prompted by clicking on a video link that a member of the Dundonald Ice Skating Club posted to Facebook. (Thanks Kelsey!)
The following video has been up on YouTube for about 4 years, so it's probably been mentioned on the forum at some stage in that time.
But, I only came across it there now, and it is so adorable that I just HAD to share it:
Do You Remember When: Figure Skating
I have to admit, I was getting emotional about half-way through it!
How true it is! (And that's coming from somebody who is neither a girl nor a skater!)
