Re: Favourite Sport

[Gaberik]

hockey is amazing, maybe i am saying it to much.... oh well, you get the point.

[Lady Carliss]

I think Fasttune might like hockey... I'm not sure though.

[Gaberik]

not at all, where did you get that idea?

[Lady Carliss]

Oh, a little bird told me...

[Gaberik]

birds don't see me playing hockey, little kids see me coach :p

[Lady Carliss]

Well... I'm sure it was a bird who told me.

A friend and I were talking about ice skating (which was purely speculative, since water-turning-into-ice is only a myth here) and I have a question.
Does anyone here ice skate? If so, is it very different from roller blading? Gab, you must ice skate if you ref hockey... Hang on, refs don't wear skates, do they?
Like I said, b/c of where I live I know nothing about ice or ice sports. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

yes
no and yes

they have hockey in Texas

[Sir Dalton]

Waa! Isn't chess a sport? (Just kidding.)

[Daisy]

Haha, I don't think that counts, Dalton.
So...anyone even play xare or zurkhaneh? *laugh* I find it funny that those made the list.
@Gab: Harder or easier balance-wise? Those things look impossible to balance on, and I am perfectly off-balanced.

[Gaberik]

are you more balanced than a 4 year old? we teach 2 1/2 year olds to skate O.o

[Daisy]

I gotta be honest.
It depends on the 4yo.

That's probably why basketball and not biking is my choice of sports. I like to stay on my feet or something with feet.

[Gaberik]

you can't be THAT bad, can you?

[Daisy]

Well, I can roller blade pretty well but other than that, I avoid things that require balancing skills. That's why they turned me away from the circus. But that's a long story for an occasion that will never happen.

do tell!
i don't roller blade at all, but i guess it would be fine

Haha! I think they were off a "list of sports". I honestly had never heard of them before then

[Daisy]

Well, I never actually got kicked out. But if I ever did apply to the circus (which I've always kinda wanted to do) they would probably make me shovel the elephant dung (which I would be more than happy to do) b/c that's all I'd be good for .
I have been though, and rode an elephant. Note that the elephant did all the balancing. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I can't roller blade or ice skate. I fall over. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

[Lady Keanna]

They are both really fun (for me anyway)! I just roller bladed today actually.

[Daisy]

Haha, lucky. I can't wait until we have a porch that I can blade on, since our road isn't paved.
Especially since our basketball hoop broke in a huge dust devil that blew by a bit ago. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Carliss, just bend your knees..... (i coach hockey, so i get a lot of practice yelling "so-n-so, bend your knees!!") also, push more out to the side than backwards

[Daisy]

also, push more out to the side than backwards

Definitely good advice for roller blading, especially if you're racing, or going backwards.

[Gaberik]

yes, and for going backwards make big C's in the ice starting out front

[Lady Keanna]

Hmmm, good advice. 

I would love to learn to surf. Anyone?

[Daisy]

Ever since Lilo and Stich I thought it looked cool, but I have absolutely terrible balance.  Plus I'm very land locked...
Do you live near a beach?
