WATCH: Dublin man’s video of his 12-year-old self trying to ice skate is priceless

Colm Boohig

Oh, we can relate to this.

There’s always at least one person when it comes to ice skating every year during the Christmas period who just can’t keep their balance. In JOE’s case, it may or may not have been them, so let’s just say that we might be able to relate to this man’s difficulty.

JOE reader John Enright, from Dublin, sent in this video of himself from back in 2007, trying (key word is ‘trying’ here) to skate in Brussels. Well, it’s fair to say that he runs into a slight bit of bother along the way.

As John told JOE, the reaction of his aunt standing next to him makes this even funnier.

Fair play to John for being able to have a bit of a laugh at himself, because this is bloody priceless.

Trying to ice skate when I was 12.. too good not to share (I'm the ginger one)

A few of John’s friends certainly appear to agree, anyway.
