Stories: All : Ice Talent

Dear user of the internet and skating world,

So, when i was about 10, which now I'm about 12, I wanted to be a pro figure skater and that dream still stays true today. Contiuning my story, I went to the ice rink every chance I could with my friends and family, so, you know, practice and get better and better with each stoke of the blade. Watching the most amazing skater in the world, Kristi Yamaguchi, I wanted to do the move that which I now know what it was called, but back then I called it move-which-blade-is-picked-up-over-my-head-thingy. So, the after accomplishing that long statement, and seeing that move, I go with my friends ice skating, daphne, Erica, Kassandra, and Brenna. Can you guess what happens next. With the ice as smooth as a thourghly blended malt, I my eyes water with excitement as I couldn't wait to get out on the ice. Stepping onto the cool place of awesomeness, i glided forward, going into a spiral then grabbing my un-steady leg picking it high into the air, grabbing it with all might, when fianlly gravity kicked in. I fell to the hard, cruel ice head first, belly-flooping with all my friends looking. Completley embrassed, I glided with my head lower than the floor to the exit, as I actually ran into the boards and fell so more. What came next was better, because that's when an older and more advanced skater came out of actually helped me to where now that thanks to my friend and I now inspire little kids to do this dangerous move, and us being the best skaters doing a catch spiral out on the rink today! Now you see that even though you have wipe-outs on the ice , keep putting your best foot out there and when you epically fail as bad as I did out there that day, try, try again. Thanks for reading!!!
