At the end of the hour I was skating smoother than this, and free from the boards.

On ten dollar skates picked up from a second-hand store, and five dollars more on shoe polish. With my new-found knowledge, I am confident with practice I'll be getting better!

Tonight, skiing.

    Awesome job! Just an FYI, you might want to take them to a sporting goods store to get sharpened; it could make a big difference, because if they are used, and if they were sitting on a shelf, that the blades could be dull.

    Awesome! I take my 4yo skating all the time. He does hockey, so we take turns leading in a race around the rink.

    Heck dull, yes. The plan is to get them sharpened. The blades did get better the longer I skated on them.

    OMIGOD! GO YOU!!!!! :)

    My back is too fragile now- if I fell, I could do really severe damage, but when I was younger I used to ice skate all the time.
