Part 3 (1/2)

”Looping the lamp-post” is also quite an achievement in skating. It doesn't make any difference which of the two lamp-posts you loop--take your choice. It is difficult to give directions how to do this. The feat has to be seen to be learned. There is a simpler way of doing it, however, and that is--stand perfectly still while the lamp-post pa.s.ses around you.

Two persons skating together for mutual a.s.sistance are known as ”a pair of skates.”

An expert skater can skate just as well in July as in February.
