I remember back in the day when I decided it would be a good idea to learn to skate with some of my friends who already had mastered the art. Well, after I laced up the skates and got help standing up, it took me a bit of time to get up the courage to move forward.
Well, if I remember correctly, I got a few feet standing up, but that was about it. I lost my balance, crashed to the ice, somehow got off the ice, probably with the help of my friends who were having a good laugh, and decided then and there, this would be the first and last time I try to skate on ice again.
