Topic: Back On Ice
Leaving the ice for almost 2 months, I am back on the vast sheet of ice again. The feeling seemed to have changed. Apart from the usual strokes on the ice, I seemed to have gained more speed than before. The strokes are stronger and more confident. While skating, I was planning to advance my skills to another level. I have heard that the Leisure Park would be demolished on September, and the new rink would be established at Harbour Front 2 years later. I am trying to skate backwards, but my feet does not seem to glide underneath another. My blades looked more like embedded in the ice than merely gliding across... I wonder how is backward skating done....
