Deaf Ice Skating 

Deaf Ice Skating 

Who else likes to ice skate? I love it! Last time I went, I made it around the rink in 49 seconds! (I know, I'm still nothing compared to the Olympic speed skaters...)

Is anyone else on this site deaf? If not, do you know any people who are deaf? (I don't think I count, if you met me on site, but you could count me if you want to!)

back to the Down to Earth

I've only been ice skating once, but I loved every minute of it!  I never fell over, too!  Sorry, I don't know anybuggy else who's deaf, except, of course, you!!!  :):)

I just realized that both of our last names start with "P"!

Well, I don't know anyone else who is deaf personally. I'm glad I don't have to know sign language to talk to you here... oh, wait, you probably read lips.

I love ice skating! I took some figure skating classes two years ago and actually got decently good (I could do a spiral and a little waltz jump/hop), but then I didn't sign up in time last winter and I missed out on the entire year! =( This year I'm definitly not going to miss the sign ups. I usually wear knee pads because I inevitably end up cracking my knees on the ice, and then I have to try the move over and over again until I do it right at least once, or become too bruised and beat up to try. Ice skating rocks!!!! =D

P.S. (I forgot to include this on my other post.)

There was a deaf boy on the high school soccer team my dad coached. He had his dad sign the half-time speech for him. I've been trying to learn sign language and I love it!

I am an amazing figure skater... OK, not really, but I am working on my sit spin and loop jump and axel! I can do speed skating, too!
