Hey, I went Figure Skating for the first time this weekend-and it wasint pretty. I fell a lot, and all I learned to do was walk on the ice. The only time I was actually skating was when someone was pushing me and i was soo scared. So anyway, how do I actually skate? I'm going again pretty soon..and I wanna do good haha.
