I had a strange dream last night. In one scene, kids were skating around on these sort of reverse ice skates which featured blocks of ice instead of metal blades.
Here’s a quick sketch illustrating how they are meant to work:
They were marketed as “Ice Blades” and were all the rage in my dream world. There were ice boards as well, which were even cooler! (No pun intended).
Me and some mates used to go Ice Tobogganing, courtesy of the Shell service station freezer we would make massive ice cubes in tubs (and we once did a kiddy pool filled with water too). You freeze in some rope as handles, throw a towel over the top and then go find a big grassy hill to slide down.
