Ice Skaters Roll Call

sophomorelove

Hi, my name is Nadia. I skated recreationally (meaning, simply forward) as a kid, but this year I took an actual ice skating class at my University and have been practicing 3-6 times a week, learning the basics (I am now working on mohawks and backward crossovers). I am loving it and will continue with the classes in the fall, but, as others have mentioned, it's not an easy hobby to pick up for a working adult. I envy those who have an opportunity to be at the rink at 6 am or 11 am. Luckily, I'm in Minnesota, so in the winter I can skate outdoors almost any time I want, but now there's only one public session per week that I can make it to. I love seeing other adults competing, and it's a huge motivation for my weight loss.

Hello! I'm Laura. I'm 29 years old and I've only ever skated for fun. I'm normally a swimmer but I wanted to switch it up a little bit. Joined this group for inspiration and also to learn some.
