Xen Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 You know you practice something too much when you sleep in that position. Today I woke up in scratch spin position with ankles painfully crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When no one's watching at the rink I do a simplified version of the first few seconds of Parisienne Walkways hahaha. No rinks I've been in allow earphones, though, you guys are lucky... NYC rinks are always kinda packed, so it'd be dangerous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it'd work, but it's ok, I'm obsessed with music, so I can hear the whole thing in my head anyway hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axelnojutsu Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I went to the rink this morning just to practice my weak side a bit and the last time I went on a weekday it was super empty and there were like 2 other people but today apparently there was a school trip happening or something cause the whole thing was full of kids which was annoying because I couldn't really practice much and 90% of them didn't look where they were going at any point but on the bright side they thought I was some kind of pro with my terrible crossovers and backwards wiggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can barely even practice crossovers, it's mad (I'm actually thinking of dropping this rink altogether. It's too expensive on usual days but it's also the closest to where I live.) Last time I went skating in the other rink (two hours away from where I live) there were two schooltrips happening at once and there was another girl practicing skating like me and she came to me to complain about how full it is and that it would be better for me to just take a corner and mark my territory (I was practicing in the middle) and I almost burst out laughing bc I was practicing so well in spite of the students not minding the skating direction and chasing each other It might have taught me the skills to practice in crowded rinks but I think I might stop going to my local rink. It always gets me down at the end of the day because I don't even have enough space to get comfortable on the ice let alone be focused enough to practice properly, it feels like I'm regressing sigh I wish our local rink wasn't so expensive BTW, does anyone know of all-year-round rinks in Germany? I might go to the Netherlands for my internship in the summer lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if I'm going again tomorrow morning and it's crowded again I'm just not going to go in at all, I have another lesson on Saturday and it's not worth wasting one entry fee on a session where I can't do anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just try to seize every moment I can get myself to the rink... In my experience rinks seem to be least busy on weekend mornings... although you might run into a birthday party and kids can be the most dangerous. So small and slow and falling left and right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might go to the Netherlands for my internship in the summer lol oh lords, I skate on a commercial rink and have had little kids run into and grab onto my leg for dear life when doing scratch spins. Little kids idea of stopping is just falling and sliding across the ice, which usually means wiping out other people. This past week, a group ofhockey boys decided to play at the start of a public session and dumped about 10 pucks across the rink. Their parents just watched and did nothing, the rink guard did not even notice. I spent the first minute speeding around the rink picking up pucks before the hockey boys could react, then dumped all their pucks behind the blade sharpening machine. Sometimes, kids.....
