Informative Speech On Figure Skating

You’ve probably heard of ice hockey before, but have you ever wanted to learn more?

Somehow skating has managed to always be in my life. My earliest memories are times on my dad’s hawaiian longboard with him, riding me home from my old school. There would be time’s I’d be brought to someone's house and notice skateboarding on the tv. I didn’t really understand the videos or what a “part” was but I still had recognition for it. Without knowing a single person in the video or any of the tricks, I still somehow felt motivated to go ride. I saw the world through the eyes of a skateboarder, taking notice of all the culture. Eventually I was gifted a used board that was covered in stickers. Nowadays I put very few stickers on a board, but back then I’d be adding more constantly. It wasn’t long before skating became a lifetime friend that I’d wind up relying on throughout my ups and downs.

The name softball was first used by Walter Hakanson, a Denver YMCA official, in 1926. He suggested it to the International Joint Rules Committee, and in 1934 it included the Amateur Softball Association.

Imagine being at the top of the world, on a bitter cold mountain, over top of an enormous crowd. The lustrous lights are shining below on the massive jump created for the professional snowboard competition that will decide whether you win or lose the competition. I have dreamed of being a professional snowboarder as my dream job ever since I have been introduced into the sport of snowboarding. Being on top of the enormous slope and strapping into my bindings instantly makes me feel relaxed and puts a grin on my face. While gliding down the mountain I become focused and dialed in on my riding. Being a professional snowboarder as an occupation, I would compete in large competitions such as the X- Games or the Olympics to win prizes and gain popularity. The excitement from the crowd and the view from the course would give me goosebumps as I race to the finish. This would give me the rush of happiness and excitement every time I strap into my bindings to compete and make it seem like I would never work a day in my life. Competing in snowboard competitions as a professional snowboarder would be my passion and dream job in life all while traveling and being with friends.

Skateboarding has been around since 1944. Initially, created as a crate with wheels and a bar used as a handle bar, the idea was slowly being more refined. Woman’s Army Corps Betty Magnuson, reported seeing French children riding on wooden boards with rollerblade wheels attached to them which would imply that the idea has been played around with but never capitalized upon. From crate boxes with handle bars, to popsicle shaped boards with specialty made wheels backed with a massive culture, skateboarding has become a popular industry.

Over the years there has been several reasons why people argued the point of whether women should be allowed to participate in sports. Society used the excuse that women are weaker than men resulting in the conclusion that women could not handle the competitive atmosphere that playing a sport brings. Another reasoning was that past cultures and religion did not allow women to be involved in activities other than the normal womanly duties. This unjust nature of believing that women are less than men or that men are superior just because is not acceptable and should not be tolerated. As Sandra Coney says in an article, “New Zealand has been called a man’s country. Sporting contest have been a male proving ground and a source of identity and pride” (Coney). This quote proves that it is not just one area or one country where the male species is the higher of the two genders, it is a worldwide issue. Although some may think women should not be involved in sports, many disagree and believe that the involvement of women in sports can benefit society.

With the evolution of skateparks and ramp skating, the skateboard began to change. Early skate tricks had consisted mainly of two-dimensional maneuvers like riding on only two wheels ("wheelie" or "manual"), spinning only on the back wheels (a "pivot"), high jumping over a bar and landing on the board again, also known as a "hippie jump", long jumping from one board to another (often over small barrels or fearless teenagers) or slalom. The flat ground ollie allowed skateboarders to perform tricks in mid-air without any more equipment than the skateboard itself, it has

B. To skate on RollerBlades takes a lot of effort. First thing you have to do is to maintain balance on the skates. Find a solid wall or something else to hang on to. Bend your knees and hold on to the wall, then hold up one leg. When you can do this properly, let go of the wall and try it without hanging to the wall. When you complete that you need to learn how to start rolling. When you wan to roll you need to make your legs a 90 degrees angle than push with the

Schwartz does get asked about these films pretty regularly. "People usually ask 'Did we know how to skate before filming the ducks?' The answer is 'We sure told casting we did.'" He laughs.

Learning to skateboard was never easy for me. I’ve never been a real balanced or coordinated person so skateboarding was like trying to learn the meaning to the film “Inception”. Even though I was never delighted to hop back on a piece of wood on wheels called a “skateboard” I was determined to learn; time and time again I fell but getting back up is what mattered. Now I’m like a surfer hitting that wave he’s been waiting for his whole life. Now if I’m not on my board I’m on my bike. Skating is now one of the easiest things I do nowadays. I’ve been skating for almost 6 years now and will continue to skate until I simply

Good morning everyone. I’m Savannah, I hope you all are just as excited as I am to start off our speeches. I would like to take a moment and ask you all to close your and relax, take a deep breath think about a time when you felt truly comfortable, safe, and at peace. Now open your eyes. Where were you? It may be at the sunny beach, the calming lake, the lush woods, or even that warm bed you left this morning. For me that place is a club watching a drag show. Surprising right? Does anyone here know what a drag queen is? A drag queen is defined by the Merriam Webster dictionary as usually a homosexual male dressing up as a woman and performing for entertainment. While that may be the case drag is so much more than just a man in makeup and a dress. The art of drag is inclusive, builds an open and safe community, and gives a platform to speak up and give back.
