Are there any other teens out there who ice skate?
So cool! Do you just do it for fun or are you more serious about it?
I'm pretty serious about it I'm in competitions and exhibitions and ice shows. And starting in summer I'll be skating about 5 days a week which is what I'm doing now but that's just cuz of ice show rehearsals.
Well there's private lessons 2-3 times a week which are about $20 each depending on the coach. Then you have to pay for the ice time which you can pre-pay and save some money and that is over $100 when you sign up for a lot of ice time. And of course you have to have skates, and my new ones just cost about $800 for the boots and about $100 for the blades. Then there are classes which are usually $50-$60. And every time I compete, there is a registration fee for whichever events you are in. Exhibitions at my rink are less than $10 to register and ice shows are $100 & up depending on how many numbers you are in. YES- It is a very expensive sport but I really love it or else my parents wouldn't still be paying for it!Question: How much money does everything (in all) for ice skating cost?
i play hockey if that counts
its not that bad you get injuries sometimes but not to bad but everyonce in a while youll get a bad one like a couple of weeks ago me and my friend checked each other and we both fell i only got a concussion but he tore an acl and a concussion
Cool! Oh yeah I love all those skaters (not so much Johnny Wier, but that's ok!) I also like Evan Lysacek, Ryan Bradley, and Alyssa Czisny.Well I like being a couch potato and watching it on the tv. Also when I'm really brave sometimes I'll go to the rink and skate during open skate haha. I've also been to quite a few major competitions. I'm absolutely in love with Yu-Na Kim, Rachel Flatt, and Johnny Weir makes my life complete haha. Those are definately my favorites out of all the competitions I've been to also I fell in love with Joannie Rochette last year at the Olympics it was so inspiring to watch her skate
