In my personal opinion, I reckon I'm pretty good at ice-skating right now. So last night I got me a set of skates... with which I fell... TWICE. :(
Still, the skates look quite good. :D
Anyone have any experience with skates / skating?

I played ice hockey for a few years for a local Vancouver team. But because I'm so thin, even the referees would check me. It was still good. Now I can't skate. There's no ice anywhere outside Canada.
Nice skates, pity about the lack of talent.
I tried iceskating as a child. I didnt like it :mad:
At 6th Form we all (eg all 200 of us) went to some massive ice-rink in Nottingham (I think). It was a Saturday and therefore packed. Me and 7 of my mates decided it would be a wasted opportunity to don some ice skates and prat about for 3 hours when there is a perfectly servicable pub over the road. So 5 hours later the Head-Of-Year turned up in the sort of bad mood usually associated with Quentin Tarantino movies.
They made us find our own way home. Which was fine because we just hired a minibus plus the purchase of a 16 pack of Stella, on the Deputy HOY's expense account (which we all had a copy of for emergencies like this).
Happy times. *Wipes away a tear*
So yeah, skating rocks.
Stella... not my favourite. :sick:
I'm not fussy.
Yeah I'm a pretty keen skater too, got a pair of Nike Flexlite 2's.

When I played I had a pair of CCM Tacks that looked a lot like these:
