Ice Skating

Such an interesting thing ice skating is. Who would have ever thought to strap blades to one's feet and run around on ice with them. And once this happened I can imagine a sport being invented but the crazy idea to strap blades to your feet and dance. That person must've been insane.
But none-the-less ice skating is an amazing feeling and watching people who cant skate makes it all the better. The first step on to the ice is the first glimpse of how familiar with skating someone is. Maybe they hold on to the wall preparing themselves for the first step. Or maybe the just step onto the ice, this can show one of two things. They they have skated before and have a greater ability to skate or they have no idea what they are in for. If it is the later they usually fall flat on their faces and cling to the wall the rest of the time falling multiple times. When it is a new skater it is not as funny as someone who is about average and can skate well.
Today is the first time i was able to witness an individual do as perviously discussed. Only when he fell he bounced, not a little bounce but a full blown bounce, with wildly flailing arms and a spinning torso. The image was quite possibly the most humorous i have possibly seen.
