In the loop: A skater’s perspective

Meet Ashley!

My name is Ashley Reyes, I am fifteen years old, and I have been Ice Skating for six years. The first time I went Ice Skating was with my old girl scout team. The moment I stepped on the ice it felt natural to me. I skated without holding the wall and I had so much fun. I started to Ice Skate because I fell in love with the Ice and loved the feeling of Ice Skating. Two things I love about Ice Skating is how free I feel on the Ice and how much fun I have. 

A Synchronized Ice skating team named “Tremors” represents San Francisco, and I have been a part of the team for four years. I love being a part of the team because I meet a lot of amazing skaters, and make a lot of new friendships. Ice Skating has benefited me in ways as improving my balance, my flexibility, my attention span, and my determination to improve.
