It was great! This made me think about the old days and skating, Jeroen. Those were the best days of my life. When you are skating, nothing else matters. :)
Wow, that rink is Huge. My friend Rob-o is the national speed skating champ in the US for his (old guy) age bracket. I was skating in NYC two weekends ago. Wicked fun.
This was fantatsic Jeroen! That looks like so much fun, and lots of good exercise! I took my nephews rolllerskating last weekend, and we had a blast too! :)
Fantastic stuff Jeroen I loved seeing you skate fianlly and I can see why you enjoy it so much. I used to go rollerskating with friends all the time as a teenager but the ice looks much nicer. Cheers, Lesley
Busy place! I would get run over there as my skating skills were never that great! Looked like a great time though! The last part is where I would be waiting...LOL
what a beautiful track,we count ourselves lucky to have the only swimming pool for miles around in our little town. I'm so jealous, I used to love skating, there has been quite a lot of new developments in the skates since my day too.
I think I would be happy just to sit at the side drinking hot chocolate...lol. My goodness you all were skating like the wind !! Looks like you have a great time with good friends. Hugs, Chris
OH! I missed this! Thanks for taking us skating with you! It was like being on the ice again Jeroen! Thanks! :)

Thanks Gary. Isn't there ice over there to skate on?
woodenshoesjeroen 4 years ago
Oh yes...very much ice and actually some rinks too!
anakin1814 4 years ago
thanks, the inside track is for hockey, I think in the US hockey is a lot more popular than speedskating.
woodenshoesjeroen 4 years ago
Hm but not at this temperature...I am sure you would go for a hot drink!

Looks like fun! I used to go skating when I was young but I was never really any good at it and fell down a lot :)

This looked like fun!
I've only been ice skating twice. My first time on the ice, it struck me how similar to roller skating it was.

Great fun Curt! I compare rollerskating with skating, the other way round, funny isn't it? Must be the climates.

I prefer the long distace skating too, on natural ice! But the icetrack will do until it freezes again outside.
woodenshoesjeroen 4 years ago
Looks like a great time Jeroen! That place looks huge compared to our rink here in town.
