Ice skating doesn’t have to be scary. Don’t be afraid to put yourself in the right position at the right time to land a perfect jump. Don’t be afraid to let go of the puck or try to hit the ice in the right place.
While ice skating is typically not dangerous, there are a few things I like to do when I ski in the park or on the slopes. The trick is to do it with your balance intact and your feet flat on the ground. And you should always keep your hips under control, because a fall can result in an injury.
I will never forget being on the ice at a hockey game. My first jump, followed by my second and third, fell me into the boards with my face still buried in the blades. I came up fast and ran right into someone’s skate, who ended up getting slammed for five or more hours.
