Reckless Skating

Filed under: Uncategorized — Bob Gentry @ 8:31 pm

I went Ice Skating last night …nothing to do with dressing up in Hockey gear…just regular ol’ Ice Skating. It’s very weird to do a public skating session when I’m now used to being on the ice in full gear and a stick for the extra balance. I felt 30 pounds lighter. All i needed was a cape and I would have been set for flight :)

Rufus and I were almost thrown out for "reckless skating"[see below for definition] and filming a movie with our Cell Phones. Quicktime Movie for your pleasure…sorry, there’s no plot :) In fact the audio was so bad and crackled that I just threw some background music that has nothing to do with anything.

I’m going to be quick and just say Happy Friday!

Reckless Skating:

To zoom as fast as possible and weave in and out of other slower skaters and spraying as much ice as you can. Tag on Ice…Tripping…and of course, filming with a cell phone. that pretty much defines Reckless Skating emoticon

It is Friday right?

Somewhere I missed the reckless part. You would get thrown out for THAT?

Gosh. Here it´s already was into Saturday and I am still hung over.

…the music made it kind of creepy…like something bad was going to happen at any minute…the video was kind of grainy and motion was a little odd….I believe you did hack off body parts with your sharp skates right after you stopped filming…

It’s crazy to see you doing something sporty..I can’t remember, did you ever skate in Michigan?? If you didn’t…it’s funny that you’re into a “winter” sport now that you’re in LA :)

I played soccer as a kid but I didn’t really start going “hockey crazy” until I quit smoking about a year and a half ago. I needed to do something like this otherwise i’d be back to smoking 2 packs a day.
And so…it helps to inhale the cool icy air….and it reminds me of Michigan too ;-)

Cool thing to do - quitting smoking. I quit about 3 years ago. It was the hardest thing I ever did in my life!

Amen! yes…it’s STILL hard for me and i’m going on 2 years in June[June 3rd 3pm but who's counting?]…there isn’t a day that goes by that i don’t miss it….it sort of feel like losing a very close friend or a death of someone close…but i suppose it’s better than the death being my own ;)

I never even tried smoking - never ever. Which I am kind of proud of. But alas, there are enough vices around to keep everybody busy, now ain´t there?

Soccer rocks by the way. :) So does Hockey but I suck at hockey.

I used to reckless skate for hours as a kid. Now I’m lucky if I can get around the rink once and the kids still whiz right by me.

skating makes me feel like a kid…that’s part of the reason i play in this hockey league…i’m gonna keep holding on to that until they drag me off the ice ;)
