Is hella harder than it looks. That it would be tougher doing than watching is something I should've anticipated (because EVERYTHING is harder than it looks), but since I knew how to roller-skate, I thought I had an advantage.

Then I learned the main differences between ice and roller skating:
1.) Falling is much more painful on ice than it is on cement, especially on the hands. Freaking cold man.
2.) Actually moving on ice is easy; picking up speed is not. The opposite is true for rollerskating.
3.) Rollerskating never gave me blisters (Long socks are important!).

Rocky had it harder.. he never experienced any kind of skating, until now. Then again, it was undeniably fun learning together. Fell at least 5 times by ourselves and together at the same time and got exhausted afterwards, but also threw snowballs at each other, blew snow foam into each others hair, and learned how to go a little bit faster around the rink. Rocky did use me like a sled dog to move around sometimes, but then the next skating spree is on him :D

If I had my USB cable around, I'd post the pics.

Next time, I'ma learn to speed up even more by digging the blade of one foot in the ice and pushing myself forward! Never mind if I fall!!

I'll wear my extra long-sleeved jacket to cover my palms. Yay!
