Skating

Skating My Way When will we get there? I think over and over again while closing my eyes, listening to the noises. Hearing engines flying across the roaring road. For when we get there I’ll be able to hear the loud music and the wheels move across the floor as people skate. Me I can’t skate at all unless you can count hanging onto the walls skating. As we finally get there I see someone that I would’ve never expected to see. A girl my age with a bob-cut and hot pink highlights. “Hey…

Flying across the ice, the two time U.S. gold medalists Alex and Maia Shibutani danced their hearts out to Paradise by Coldplay only to lose their third gold medal at the National Figure Skating Championships.

grateful. Better to be sick now than later, I conclude, aware of the fact that had I been sick at a different time, there would be no greater inconvenience. For now, I have no responsibilities, but four days from now I will be competing in figure skating on behalf of the U.S., and hopefully by then my weakened state will pass. I know I should practice, but currently I can barely move, let alone figure skate. The dark room feels…

It all happened in an instant, I was at one of my favorite places to be, The Incline Club. I am a young skateboarder, but quite good. I can flip, twist, turn or anything really. I love the mini bowl. That is where I learn all of my tricks like stalls, rocks, or even gaps. I especially love the foam pit. My favorite thing to do is drop in on the ten footer and then with all my speed fly right off of my board and flip and turn. My main trick is I will leap off of my speeding board in mid air then…

thick Russian accent. After skating three circles around the rink, I could feel the ache in my legs go away. First I did my jumps, all of the girls stopped and stared because my jumps were so high. Most of the girls that competed against me had small jumps and could spin really fast, but I jumped…

My brothers and I can all skate well, although my younger brother Azrael (who is 9) is the the best. We have all been learning slowly, but now I can ollie, do a pop shuvit, drop in, and do many other things. When I first tried skating with my mom I was mad because I just couldn’t figure it out. I practiced…

The most important thing in my life is ice hockey. Ice hockey is my life. Each week I spend six hours on the ice, along with another nine hours at the rink, or conditioning. I have played ice hockey since I was four, and have been ice skating since I was three. Not only have the people that I grew up playing with become lifelong friends, but the memories I have gained will be lifelong. One of my best memories came when I was a sophomore. I played on a Junior Varsity team, and I was…
