"After seeing the PFN Skating event, I knew I just had to go.\n\nSo I did, pulling along my partner so we can go and appease our inner child. \n\nWe are super glad we did. \n\nHaving been born and raised here in the valley, I was immediately brought back to 7th grade with the smell of sweat, popcorn, and floor wax. I hadn't been back to Great Skate since then, and truly, it hasn't changed.\n\nSure, colors have changed, but nothing else really. \n\nBut it works. After signing the injury waiver (I wonder if they offer this to kids who are clearly underage? I assume so) we wander in and look around to the loud music and all of the tiny little kids.\n\nI've always been taller than a lot of people... but I felt super tall that night. haha\n\nSlip on my skates... and then immediately believe that I'm in more trouble than I thought I was.\n\nBut with the good music, a few windmills of the arms (you know, twirling your arms around to avoid falling), and almost punching out some kid trying to trip me, I got the hang of it quickly.\n\nSkating is like riding a bike. :)\n\nGreat Skate lends to a great time and a relatively cheap entry price, yet the skate rental is EXPENSIVE. \n\nCarmen and I had a blast and we would definitely go back."^^ .
