FAQ
Our facility is located in an indoor mall with temperatures around 70 degrees. Dress in comfortable clothing that will not restrict your movements. Long pants and gloves or mittens recommended for small children. Hats and helmets are recommended for beginning skaters (you are welcome, and encouraged, to bring your own helmet). We do not provide any clothing or protective equipment for rental or sale aside from rental skates. Don't forget a tall, thin pair of socks!
We only have one admission that allows in and out access from the time of purchase, until the end of the public skate session. This allows any paid skater access the rink for the entire day until public skating is over. This also allows skaters the ability to take extended breaks and return within the same day as long as they keep the same admission wristband on.
Don't look down when skating — Newcomers to skating will oftentimes spend all their time looking at their feet rather than looking in the direction they are going. Keep your head up and look in front of you.
Don't lean backward when skating — Leaning back will likely send you flying on your backside — or worse. Keep your knees bent and your weight forward. Hold your arms out in front of you and open them wide to help you stay balanced.
Practice falling — Falling is part of the sport so it's natural that this will happen. If you are able to anticipate the fall, bend your knees and squat into a dip position. Otherwise, put your hands out to break your fall, but quickly clench your fingers into a fist so you don't run the risk of injury from a passing skater. Also, try to push your arms out so you will have a safer fall.
Practice standing up — Get on your hands and knees and place one foot between your hands. Repeat with your other foot and lift up until you are standing again.
Learn to stop — To stop, bend your knees slightly inward then push out with one or both of your feet. You should put a teensy bit of pressure on the ice so your feet will not slide out from under you. When you stop, you should have created a little bit of "snow" that was sheered off from the ice. Don't worry if you don't get this at first, but try-try again because you will most definitely get better with a little practice.
What is a Freestyle Session? A Freestyle session is for figure skating only. These are paid private sessions that are separate from the general public. These sessions are for instructors to give private lessons and skaters to practice their skills. Skaters skating these sessions must understand the patterns and etiquette used on the ice by reading and signing the code of conduct before their first time going out. Freestyle sessions are separated and scheduled by levels to allow everyone to skate with others around the same capabilities or skill set.
Public Skate is open to the general public for anyone.
