Blaike's definitions

ice skater

We don't perform 'tricks' or 'spinny things'. We perform jumps and spins, and we face injury quite often. It is not easy, due to contrary belief.

I just recovered from a severed artery in my arm after falling on a triple toe; my arm was skated over - it has been over two years and my arm was paralyzed.

Not so easy now, is it?
