hi, jus curious babychronic, were u there at Jurong on sun?

i and a couple of friends also went there too.

its been a long time since i wen ice skating again.

wats the price range for a new pair of ice skates?

i've kinda lost touch wif the newer range of of ice and roller blade products.

 

if u r looking for it in sg, will cost ard 300-400.... depends on the range.. higher or lower range...

 

However, i would recommand tat u get it in from the web.....

 

Can try hockeygiant.com or epuck.com...

 

Cos the skate in sg is very very limited........

 

Cheers

Ermmm seems like this thread is no longer active. but let me just try my luck.

 

I need suggestions from the pro skaters out there on how i should go about learning to skate. I only know how to move in a straight line, but not very zai and i can't brake. I jus bought a pair of skates and i am considering if i should sign up for a course or learn slowly. Any good suggestions? Should i DIY or sign up?

ur frenli sim ex-skater suggest that u dun waste ur money on courses, wat u reali need is a nice place (eg. ecp, pasir ris park), a few skating kakis (coz skating alone can be a bit boring after a while) and a pair of knee pads (coz i can assure u that u will be falling often). most important is to have fun lor.. just keep on practising and dun give up when u fall.. best if u can get some1 who is ok at skating to guide u along lor

[maddog]

i disagree...

mite as well sign up for a coz since u're already at the park, and if you want kaki, who better than an instructor. or even better, round a few kakis to go for coz and ask instructor for discount

 

and a pair of knee pads (coz i can assure u that u will be falling often). most important is to have fun lor.. just keep on practising and dun give up when u

fall..

 

actually even falling down has a technique, so that u know how to fall on the pads. and if u're struggling half the time before/after falling down. u'll find blading quite boring. And get the whole package of guards, knees, elbow, wrist and helmet. If u're on a tite budget, then at least knee and wrist.

 

best if u can get some1 who is ok at skating to guide u along lor

 

wouldn't that be an instructor best fit tt description?
