I cant roller skate much less ice skate. It amazes me how they make it look so effortless.
It's like they're not even real.

We don't want that to happenAt my age, I'd break a hip on the first fall!
Me, too!
I've always loved watching it, also! I was never that great on roller skates, but I was horrible on ice skates! I don't believe we ever lived anywhere that the weather was cold enough TO ice skate!! Any attmepts to ice skate were downright embarrassing. And dangerous.
I figured since I was at home on roller skates I'd be a natural for ice skating.
Uh, no.
But a bunch of ass bustings later I did get the hang of it and we used to go often.
The farm I grew up on had a large pond and winter ice skating parties with bonfires, chili and hot chocolate were the thing. Even though it was very rural, sometimes there would be 20+ neighborhood people skating on the pond when we'd have nice thick ice and decide it was a good night for a party. Late 1960s...Me, too!

We kids played hockey on that pond. I wonder what happened to my old skates...
I moved to Southern Md in 1974. I think *maybe* 1 or 2 winters we had a little tiny pond we could skate on.
Now, in PA, we had a LOT of ponds and a lake, but we only lived there 1 winter before we moved to SoMD. That's when we got the ice skates. The lake did freeze, but we were cautioned NOT to go out too far. It wasn't smooth ice, either, so it was treacherous at best learning.
Outdoor sports were never my fav
Donated to the Smithsonian for the Roaring 20s exhibit?
they were made out of elk bone, strapped to my deerskin moccasins with sinew.
