hi... i'm revisiting ice skating at the ripe old age of 58! i can tell you that the ice is a lot more slippery than it was when i was 15.
i took up rollerblading 5 years ago and found it helped a lot when i took to the ice again just before christmas.
its a great way to keep fit and supple and very relaxing. unfortunately there is no ice rink near my home, i have to travel a good hour to get to my nearest ice rink but its worth it.
thanks for the welcome
