On my website I'm going to talk to you about a different kind of sport from others: ice-skating.
Ice-skating is a really interesting sport to do because you need to have lots of passion, and if you really like it, you WON'T need to be encouraged.
As I already said, ice-skating is a very interesting sport. If you are a professionist like the people in the pictures you will see, then you know how difficult the sport is and how much interest and co-operation you need. If you imagine to be able to do a "triple" jump........that means 3 and a half turns in the air..................
People I see just starting, usually just start by doing a three jump which is the easiest thing.......it's a half turn in the air.........
