What do you wear when you are iceskating?

When you are ice skating you ware skates, gloves, a scarf, a jacket, sometimes snow pants not always, and warm clothes. It also depends on how cold it is you can take off layers as you go.

I have been iceskating for about 2 years now. I usually go iceskating indoors, so I just wear a sweater, but sometimes I don't even need that. If you don't want blisters or if you don't want your feet to hurt, you should wear thin tights. (If you're a girl)

I have been iceskating for almost 3 years. I go to the indoors iceskating rink every Friday. You should definitely wear gloves, because your hands get cold really fast, and if they are cold for too long, they will start to feel like they are burning. Also you can't put your hands in your pocket, because it's really hard to balance that way. You should also wear a sweater, and a jacket. If you get too warm, you can take your jacket off and tie it around your waist. Trust me you won't have to take off your sweater most of the time, because it's very cold in the indoor skating rinks. I've had experience. What i would suggest to wear on the bottom would be pants that you can move easily in. You don't want to go in jeans that you can barely even sit in. I usually go in stretchy jeans.

A lot of people say to wear scarfs, but it usually just gets in your way.

No, really. You should bring a sweater, but if you work hard, you'll take it off!

Average cost of sound system in roller skating rink?

Single, center-mounted array would be the best. So all the speakers hang in the middle of the room and face outwards. Line array would be the best option.

Place the subs in the corners of the room. We call it loading. So four corners then at least four subs, one in each corner. Might need more if you want more bass/low end.

Another cost would be treating the room so that the sound doesn't echo. Carpets on the walls etc. You don't want the sound echoing.

NB: Rather treat a room properly first time and build up the sound system. You don't need speakers everywhere as that's costly. In this application a center mounted array 9/10 times will be the best.

Some companies will try sell you loads of speakers as this equals more profit. Go for a company that doesn't try sell you all their stock.
