1st time going for ice skating?

Question

Im going for indoor ice skating tomorrow.

Any tips for beginners?

What should i wear?

Answer 1

try not to fall lol

Answer 2

I would have to say the first couple of times stay by the wall and then you should try to get closer to the middle and don't try to fall if you fall then just get right back up and try again.i would wear some pants,two jackets,2 shirts,beanie,gloves, and you are set to go.

Answer 3

I figure skate several times every week and my biggest tip for you is to not wear jeans. Where some stretchy sweatpants to keep you warm and not affect your flexibility. Trust me. Gloves are a must, as well as a sweatshirt or fleece. Don't worry about looking like a beginner, because chances are that the other skaters out there are first-timers as well.

Answer 4

wear layers so when you fall youll have padding and take it slow dont get frustrated

Answer 5

Wear pants and a long sleeved shirt definently. But don't bundle up too much or you won't be able to move : ) also, when you get on the rink, stay around the edge until you get the hang of it then venture a little closer to the middle.

Answer 6

hii☺ you can wear pants and a long sleeved shirt or jacket.. okay the first thing and most important advice that i give to begginers: "Dont be afraid of falling" thik of it.. if you fall you will find out that... ¡Nothing happened if you fall! The biggest injury that a begginer can have is a little bit of pain for 5 sec xD. And other tips.. well, mantain balance, glide, bend your knees:D. Good Luck and hope it helps...

Answer 7

long sleeve shirt

jeans... or maybe thick pants... it is cold there so wear gloves... and high socks if you dont have them you can surely borrow them there

it is cold but you sweat bcoz ice skating is exhausting

Answer 8

Tips:-

Stay onto the side

Tie your skates proper and tight

Skate with friends/family if possible.

Don't be unconfident because if you think you can't do it you fall alot also at first if you want to get off the side take small steps

But just glide =]

Clothes:-

Jumper,Coat,Tracksuit bottoms/jogging bottoms

(NOT JEANS)

Answer 9

Plenty of padding and skates that are comfortable with good ankle support.

Answer 10

Until you get use to the feeling of the ice stay by the wall and practice moving on it. Slowly take yourself away from the wall when you feel ready. Don't try going backwards or doing fancy things that you may see other people doing. Just focus on gliding forward keeping your body up and arms out. When you get better and well balance you won't have to get your arms out.

Wear:

-long pants that are stretchy and comfertable

-a long sleeve shirt

-a sweatshirt that you can take off if you get to hot

Answer 11

winter clothes and make sure u tie the skates tight

Answer 12

Don't be silly and wear a skirt if you're a girl or shorts if you're a guy. Guys generally wear hockey skates while girls go for the figure skates. I would recommend that guys wear figure skates, simply because figure skates have a pick to prevent you from embarassing yourself by falling flat on your face.

For tips:

Don't let your ankles bend inward.

Don't hang onto the boards, you'll just look silly.

Don't hold hands with anyone until you or the person youre holding onto is comfortable skating, otherwise if you fall you'll take him or her down with you!

Answer 13

gloves

scarf

socks

not jeans

Answer 14

Wear something warm and comftorble. Not like what you would wear every day. Like you should wear sweatpants or something and a jacket. Don't fall.... lol ♥

P.S BRING GLOVES =]

Answer 15

It's not as hard as it looks, as long as you don't try to do anything fancy.

you'll probaly fall a few times, but it's nothing that bad.

wear something warm, and make sure your skates fit right.

Answer 16

stay close to the wall

don't make a big deal if you fall, maybe someone didnt see

were long sleeve clothing
