Skating Practice


One does not often think ice skating when considering the different activities and sports available to San Diegans.

But there is a rink at University Towne Center.

Open year round.
  
I have been out there before – gliding forward – slow and stiff in reverse.

Spins and jumps, completely out of the question.

Didn't know that harnesses were used in training sessions.

With a coach and apparatus, this talented skater practiced jumps and spins.


Over and over.


It was something to watch.

While I sat above the rink, warmly dressed, wondering what it would feel like to spin on the ice.
