Description Yes... this is MY skate.

For me, skating really DOES equal love. I have been skating with a pasion for 2 YEARS and I have loved every minute of it.

This is dedicated to my own personal ice skating angels: and (and the Shunner herself)

I love you all for supporting me, but I'd love you even more for reviewing or even *gasp* FAVING my art....

Thanks for viewing!

Ellie

Skating does most definately equal love. I've beenskating for years and it's such a passion. I can't imagine my life without it. (I tried and I started crying)
I love the idea with this photo. The composition is great. I think that it would look even better it the bg wasn't carpet. It takes away from the focus and doesn't give much contrast. (maybe setting it up on a white or black poster board) Otherwise I think this looks so great.

Thanks for the tip! I'm not much of a photograpter, so this really is a big help. Skating is my passion too, and just can't get enough of it!

Your welcome.
It's is so addicting. I love it bc of that feeling you get when your gliding over the ice and jumping in the air. Some of the jumps do scare me though. XD

I remember the days of hangin' with my friends.... we'd try to out do each other on how many things we could add to the toe loop combo,.... like,... toe loop, loop, loop, toe loop,..... etc lol you'd get dizzy.

lol yeah, I know the feeling
How many hours a day do you skate?
What always bugged me when i taught LTS was when the parents wondered why the kid wasn't progressing and the kid only skated during the Lesson... they didn't understand that MORE practice means Better skating.

WickedElphaba In reply to icedance4ever [2007-11-13 03:25:22 +0000 UTC]

I skate twice a week: a half hour lesson on Saturdays, and becasue the rink is crowded with people after my lesson, I skate around 2 hours on Sunday, including a half hour private lesson. I don't skate all that much, but I have no room to put in more hours.

icedance4ever In reply to WickedElphaba [2007-11-13 15:51:22 +0000 UTC]

oh. that's cool. well, I've learned that the more time you can get in, the better you will get quicker,... if that makes sense. But, some ppl can only be there so much due to schedules and/or money. Back in the day when I was a teenager, I was skating 5 days a week and like.... 2-5 hours a day. BUT, I was training for a career, I was going to be a show skater.

WickedElphaba In reply to icedance4ever [2007-11-14 02:22:37 +0000 UTC]

I just skate because I love it. I don't feel the need to be in shows and stuff, I just love the HIGH you get when you finally land that jump you've been working on for forever, and the chills I get when I start spinning as fast as I can and I can't see at all... I love the ice rink. It's my favorite place in the world.

icedance4ever In reply to WickedElphaba [2007-11-14 03:21:41 +0000 UTC]

I wanted to do shows because I was Good at doing shows. I competed a couple of times due to my coaches insisting so I could get them "under my belt" for when I started coaching. I loved skating too.

I might start shows once I'm a little bit better.

icedance4ever In reply to WickedElphaba [2007-11-14 15:27:55 +0000 UTC]

they are SOOO Much fun,... BUT it depends on the rink and the type of show. Our rink used to have just a Theme and everyone would have Solo's and there was lots of Group #'s. It's really fun when you do a character like the Grinch, you can be mean and no one cares cause, yer the Grinch I had kids threatening me that their daddy's would beat me up if I tried to "steal their gifts"... see I would be in actual "character" the whole night and for all of the dress rehearsals.

We do Christmas shows, and this year is Road Trip themed. I just LOVE the tots! They're doing Wheels on the Bus! It's adorable. Last year they did the Peanuts theme song, and it was the cutest thing ever.

aww! one year we had a group of tots do a # to "Dominic the Italian Christmas Donkey" and one little boy had one a "donkey" outfit, it was actually the horse from Toy Story. He kept falling down, SOO CUTE!

WickedElphaba In reply to icedance4ever [2007-11-15 04:16:03 +0000 UTC]

AWWW! Our tots don't exactly know how to skate, so they stand in the middle, march around, do a shaky spin that is really just marching in a circle, and then they all fall down. My private coach is the tot coach, too, and she is SO GREAT with these kids. It's the kind of thing that makes my mother cry. (like Barney movies)

icedance4ever In reply to WickedElphaba [2007-11-15 16:48:01 +0000 UTC]

yeah, ours was the same way!! and every time one would fall, everyone in the audience would "AWWW" at the same time. Soo cute. lol I kinda miss coaching.... I miss the little kids, but I don't miss the sometimes annoying parents. lol

WickedElphaba In reply to icedance4ever [2007-11-18 04:37:54 +0000 UTC]

And some of the KIDS are annoying, as well. Like the ones that try to imitate people way more advanced than them. There was one slightly overweight girl, maybe 12, at the rink today. I was doing some waltz jump combos, and she could barely do a waltz jump. She started langing her jump in a sort of spin, because she didn't know how to jump again. It was scary to watch. I thought she was going to fall.

On a happy note, I learned a loop today! And landed it one my second attempt. It was a pathetic loop, but a loop none the less!

icedance4ever In reply to WickedElphaba [2007-11-18 14:22:22 +0000 UTC]

lol. yes, some of the Kids can be quite annoying. I always liked trying to help some of the younger/lower level kids. they'd Always come up to me and ask for help. We had one girl, who doesn't skate anymore now, but she'd was SOOOOOOOO annoying! She had a squeaky and whiney voice, she'd follow you around and would WHINE allll the time as she was talking. Omg... no one could stand her. lol

But, you landed your loop! that's great! Now just keep workin' on it and it will get better and better!

My one friend can do 17 loops in a row non stop. Still. After taking a break for a year. She's one of those peole who are perfect at everything they try. Works out well for me. It's like having freelessons sometimes.

I had friends like that. lol By like 7 loops, I'd get so dizzy and run out of Momentum I'd fall down. lol
