Re: Skating
Ice skating was something TJ actually enjoyed...possibly because it had been a fight he'd actually won with his assigned Secret Service agent during high school in order to learn how in the first place. Honestly, did anyone really think some potential assassin was going to use the blades for skates to try to kill the president's son?
Wait, there were one or two people back at that base, or wherever they were now, that TJ could imagine being that paranoid.
The point was, he'd won that argument and skating was like dancing: once you found the rhythm, you were good to go. Gliding alongside Travis, he pushed ahead a little so he could turn around and skate backwards while talking to Travis. "If you put your arms out to your sides a little more, it'll be easier to balance. It's just like learning to walk all over again."
