Dianne,
I'm sure we have SOME sort of clearance that allows us to know the contents (maybe a skate pass or something like that)???? It's like looking in the junk drawer in the kitchen LOL We all know you have "stuff" it's just knowing exactly what!

Soft guards
Hard guards
Two small towels
Red sponge pads
Lace hook
Bag of hair elastics, barrettes and a brush
Water bottle
Box of tissues
Two pairs of stretchy gloves
Tube of lip balm

I'm pretty minimalist I guess!

Damn, I think the contents of my skate bag are pretty boring.

skates
soakers - thick, turquoise terry towelling
guards - clear
black microfibre towel for blade drying and forehead mopping
bunga gel sleeves
fingerless cyclist gloves
daughter's gloves - in case she tries to tell me she hasn't got any
plastic bag holding bandaids, paper tape, gel patches
plastic bag containing white microfibre towel, white boot covers.
2 x spare tights
tissues.
spare undies, leggings, t-shirt (it gets wet at our rink in warm weather, and a spare set of clothes is essential otherwise it's a long, soggy drive home)

Yep, pretty boring, I'm afraid

Awww - my bag looks really sad and pathetic in comparison. But I have only been skating for two months!

Skates
Skate guards (candy floss pink - I'm such a girlie)
Blade soakers (purple ones)
Gloves (to prevent finger sliceage - something I still worry about)
Manky bits of tissue to wipe my blades (I really need to get a blade cloth )
Money
Progress card (for Skate UK - currently at Level 4)
Extra pairs of knee high nylons
Plasters
Ipod (not been brave enough to take it on the ice yet though )
Mobile phone

And that's about it so far - I am sure my bag will be filled with about ten times more crap in another two months time, if my normal bags are anything to go by!!

In the main compartment, we have:
  • Skates, clad in personalised soakers and rather old individual bags that no longer match the soakers.
  • Pair of guards.
  • Wiping cloth.
  • Small towel for standing on to change my shoes when the floor is wet, dirty or both.
In the secondary compartment, we have:
  • Spare laces
  • Spare batteries for my MP3 player
  • Some very old skate tape
  • A Skatemate
  • The stone I used before I got my Skatemate (which is new)
  • A small screwdriver
  • A small bottle of hand sanitiser
  • "Emergency" pop-socks in case I've forgotten to bring any
  • Gloves
  • Music, in the season
And, of course, there's the bag I also take, that has my bootcovers du jour, another pair of emergency socks (and I only really use them for competitons when I'm wearing over-boot tights! If I'm skating in leggings, I put the socks on before I leave home.), sunglasses, reading glasses, my MP3 player in the season, a heart rate monitor, and anything else I'm likely to need - water-bottle, banana, cereal bar, etc.

Unicorn Soakers
Shiny pearl hard gaurds

Wrist guard for each wrist as I've broken the left one twice and the right once
2 dresses
Skirt
Pants
Overboot tights
Footed tights
footless tights
gel ankle socks
3 different program music (including copies so 6 cd's in all)
My sister's music
Socks for after in case I've forgotten
Jeans because I was to lazy to change out of skating attire and then to lazy to take them out
Kleenex
Inhaler, so I don't die...
Advil, Tylenol
3 different brands of Bandaids excluding bandaid because I'm allergic
Homework that needs to be done

A picture is worth a thousand words



It's like a clown car exploded, don't you think?

My favorite things are the skates (of course), the little sockball filled with silica and lavender, the blue "Zamboni.com" lanyard with a skate hook, and the little Coca-Cola keychain "ICE COLD" that has a thermometer! (It's always cold in the rink!)
