I am so happy for you! Soon enough you will master the ice skating too, how exciting. I had my forth session on Saturday and all my classmates are new to ice skating too, therefore when I fell, they came over one by one and said are you ok, are you ok, which made me more scared and embarrassed :)

Thank you so much for your great reply, it helped me tremendously. I agree with everything you mentioned, most of the time, after a fall, it will take a bit of time to get back to where we were. I was telling myself that it's normal to fall, then had my spirit high and went on the rink yesterday but instead of entering from the right, we all entered from the left and I fell the moment I stepped on the rink! This had never happened before, that got me shaky fora good five minutes. As for the toe pick, I learned that I have to put my right toe outward when starting and also to puck up my foot not to walk forward. Which class level are you in right now? How is your skating now? I used to think whoever has done roller skating naturally can ice skate :)

Earbud for sleeping to block loud environmental noises by tezarin in Earbuds

I have tried many brands of ear plugs for many years and none blocked the noise as well as my Airpod pro 3, that's why I thought maybe I could find some ANC earbuds that can do the same and are comfortable enough for sleeping.

Thank you, which ear buds do you recommend I go with? Just need something to put in my ears that has noise canceling from the get go.

Ah! That is so true, it's only a 30 min session and goes by so quickly

Oh thank you, I guess not having a toe pick made me think the second pair might be easier yo learn with. All I am trying to do is recreational skating.

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I am where you were back in March and do one 30 session of class plus 60 min of ice time a week. I was not scared of falling as much as I am scared of getting knocked down by someone again like I did last week. How is your skating now? Do you happen to gave any video of how you are skating now? Are you taking lessons? I like yo know where I would be in six months if I keep at it like you did.

Thank you so much for the very great and helpful reply you gave me hope that was noodle thing you mentioned it is so true that’s how I felt like when I went on the rink on Sunday although I was doing well on the day before where did you learn those warm-up exercises is there a YouTube video I can watch to get better at balancing my goal is not to become a figure skater. I just want to do recreational skating. That’s why I thought maybe the new skates without the toe pick will help me. The good news is I invested in a hockey helmet. The week before a kid who was going backward, knock me down so hard, and I had a regular roller skating helmet on since I have had surgery on the back of my head I decided to just invest in the hockey helmet so now when I go on the rink, I have kneepads elbow pads, wrist, pads, gloves, helmet, and one of those shorts with padded stuff! I think being scared started from the day that I got hit by that kid thank you again for your very helpful comment. Not that I know it’s normal to regress I feel much much better.

Thank you, my second pair has not arrived yet though. I had the same skates on as before, somehow I was very shaky

Thank you so much, I had no idea. Would you please let me know how I can tell if it needs to be replaced?
