so last night was mine an my sisters first lesson at ice sheffield.

there were a fair few ppl in our group and maybe 5 groups on the ice so it was pretty busy. all in all tho i loved it. glad ive been practicing in my own time because i think the confidence ive gained is gonna help.

as to be expect we started at the start with stake uk 1 which the whole group passed with relative easy then onto some level 2 stuff, backwards stroking by far the hardest.

the hour just flew by and i cant wait to get on the ice again for more practice an lessons. love it!

Excellent! But be warned, it's addictive!

Yes, congratulations. You know you have it bad when you count the days/hours until when you are next on the ice ...

That's so cool - I used to have semi-privates with my niece when I first started taking lessons. Let me "justify" spending my own money on myself. LOL

Glad you enjoyed your lesson.

PS - Is AW1 your sister?

i also used my niece as a cover story to get into skating haha. was a good thing we could do together an go an have some fun. think some ppl might find it odd that a 22 y o guy wants to start figure skating. having said that there were a few guys on the ice, mostly older tho.
