Does this look like you?

No... didn't think so, but keep reading anyways...

Weather is shite these days, and not very conductive to riding, as such I've decided to knock together an indoors event.

How does this relate to the picture, you'll be thinking... well keep reading and I'll tell ya...

I fancy a shot at ice skating, and so I'm gonna head out to Paradice Ice Skating Arena on Sunday 14th May. Looks like if you get there about Noon, then you get a session until 4:30... so even though we might not stay that long, it'll give us plenty of time.

Anyone else fancy tagging along? Couple of us going already, and although not technically a bike event, it'll be nice and social, might even get talking to people :gob:

If enough of us go we can get a discount. It's normally $12, including skates, but if 15+ turn up then that drops to $9.

Registrations can be made here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=856), should be a laugh, especially since I've never been on ice before, so will probably spend most of the time on my arse.

[Back Fire]

oooooh yeah!! you know im in! :rockon:

[SN4PD]

Paradise :shit: Last time I was there I got carried off in an ambo.... 4 broken bones & 8 mths in a cast :crybaby:

Better makesure SpeedMedic is there, that ice is dangerous stuff :nono:

If this was anymore homosexual it'd be sponsored by Labour.

[Karma]

What's the matter? Scared?

Now Dover on ice... that's something I'd wanna see...

[The_Dover]

Mate, as much as I hate to admit it I used to be a demon on skates.

That's what happens when you have 2 sisters and your mum is a fag hag.

[Karma]

See you there then!

[Gwinch]

I uh, may make it.

*looks woefully at his ice hockey skates*

Although, I've only ever used them a few times. Played inline hockey instead.

edit: Yeah, I'll make it as best I can.

[ZeroIndex]

Weasel: How many people in total are there so far? Looking forward to it..

COME ON PEOPLE!! Come ice skating..

..I wanna see if I can get my knee down on the corners :D

[Karma]

looks like 5 or 6 so far...

I reckon I'll be getting my knee down... and my ass... and elbows... and maybe even a faceplant or two...

haha, it would be funny as hell to see fully leathered skaters on the rink.. GHOSTRIDER style :D

[Karma]

I think I'll be needing my crash helmet...

[Gwinch]

s'okay Weasel, sounds like GR81 and I can give you the learn... maybe even backwards. :nya:

I will give everyone the learn with backward crossovers (going backwards and turning, foot over foot <--not head over foot) :D

[Gwinch]

edit: Stupid double post.

[Gwinch]

Child's play. ;)

Should be fun anyway, it's been a long while since I have so it'll certainly be weird at first.

Well I used to be fairly good at roller blading.. but that's a while back now.

My main problem is my sheer size and weight... once I get a bit of speed up I reach terminal velocity and it's the stopping that becomes an issue :(

[ZeroIndex]

ok.. so.. we need a bunch of cones, and some tape, and someone to blow a whistle.. and a stopwatch: We can set up sprint races or something..

[Karma]

I'm like an oil tanker ship dude... takes me a little while to get up to speed, and then forever to stop... not a good thing ;)

[Gwinch]

Nobody has forgotten about this have they? Wouldn't like to turn up there and be the only one... so *thread bump*

[Karma]

Myself and Rayza are there for sure... perhaps Gremlin too...

Come on everyone, should be fun.

Maybe you should of re-named this thread "biker angels on ice..........." :rofl:

[Karma]

I can wear a tutu if you think it'll make me look better....

[ZeroIndex]

I'll definitely be there tomorrow.. I'm going to the KB Meet & Greet BBQ today.. so I'll have to come, since I'll be in Auckland :)

Does this look like you?

No, I look better..

I would have absolutly loved to come but I am driving down to New Plymouth on Business in T - 5mins, staying the night there and heading over to Palmerston North tomorrow to watch my homeboy Loosebruce give Craig Sherrifs the learn! By the time I get back to Auckland it'll be close to 1-2 AM Monday morning.

Organise another one sometime and sure, I'll try my best to make it.

Meet time 12noon at Paradice Ice Rink - Botany Downs

Looks like a laugh so come out and have some fun.

I got shit to do so probably be there from around 12 to about 2 - 2:30ish... see how it goes.

[Gwinch]

Seeing as I've never met any of you before I'll give you a hint. Black hoodie, black cap and a labret piercing.

edit: Oh yeah, my picture is in my profile too. :)

..........................

[Gwinch]

Well that was most enjoyable, I want to go ice skating again post haste! p.s knee down is easy, I'll do a longer job next time but doing it while dodging slowbies and cornering makes it annoying.

Anyway, nice to meet you louts. :headbang:

[GR81]

ice looks pretty cut up!

sorry i couldnt make it, knee is feeling pretty sore after rugby yesterday.

looks like you all had fun tho :)

[ZeroIndex]

Weasel: Thanks for organizing the ice skating.. was lots of fun [even though the ice rink bastards don't have comfy sharp ice skates].. good to meet all of you.. hopefully next time more people will show up..

[ZeroIndex]

Argh.. NZ_Liam.. there's something wrong with that knee ice.mov file.. won't play on my quicktime player [says cannot find correct decoder]

Your running an OLD quicktime, www.apple.com/quicktime to get the new one:yes:

[ZeroIndex]

[Karma]

Yeh that was pretty fun eh.

I suck at skating, but I'll blame that on the shoddy boots... ;)

Weather still crap... keep an eye out for more fun packed activities!
