Is there any ice skaters here? Figure, dance, speed, freestyle, or even hockey can be included.
Not many places to talk about it.

if it was a real extreme sport they would call it knife shoe dancing

Well anyways I've been taking group lessons for the past 4 months I guess.Having a good time, haven't really had the same feeling in any other sport when I actually start to accomplish something I was struggling with. The technical aspect of it is actually really fun.

yeah there's not that many places to talk about it. best place is just chat up some decently skilled random skater at the rink and ask for tips if you're struggling.

For the summer vacations i've been practicing my edges a lot, but learning without guidance is very frustrating for a sport as precise as figure skating requires you to be.
>Shoulders? Facing the wrong way and you fail.
>Hips? Gotta mind them too, not too low, not too high, better move them with precise timing or you fail.
Not to mention that you're constantly squatting and extending your muscles. Having to mind all of these things alone when you've barely got 1 year of experience under your belt seems like an impossible task.
The thing is, i don't even mind grinding 'til i find what works and what doesn't, but it's sharing the public rink that's got me frustrated. How am i supposed to feel safe falling when i know that at any moment a hockey skates dude might just speed towards me at 30/kmh? These men and women do not know how to stop at the speed that they're going at. In fact, my arm still hurt from the last time a guy just fucking rammed into me at uncontrolled speed.
Yet, no matter what, I find myself craving the ice badly each and every day. It's the allure that no matter how shitty you are each session makes room for improvement. It's the feeling of gliding, mastering elements and freedom which makes it all worth it. I love the smell of damp ice, the feeling of community in this singular sport, the pain of losing as much as the joy of winning.

Man I've been struggling with inside 3 turns for like an entire month and I feel like I'm progressing slow as fuck. I get over the turn and just stall, which makes me think I need to go faster or bend more, but I just can't get it.
I've got both my outsides good enough to just throw out on a whim at least though.Otherwise I feel like I'm going along pretty decently, but I'm trying to build a strong foundation before doing jumps or anything more advanced. It's hard to stay motivated though when it feels like you're doing basic kiddy stuff all the time.

I used to do figure skating when I was younger and a part of me wants to get back into it, the issue being that its pretty gay for a guy to do figure skating and I want a girlfriend.
