In 15th century Hironimus Bosch painted this famous bird on skates. This indicates that at least since the 15th century the people in the Netherlands were skating. The history of skating is interesting by itself and by the social context.
The author of this website, Willem Saris, started skating on similar skates as painted by Bosch and was at a young age already addicted to skating and the events that occur while skating. At the side stories are presented about the historical development of skating through the centuries and about my own experiences. |

Different kinds of skating stories
Later I collected a lot of funny skating stories from different sources and different people.
Below are many of these stories without an historical perspective. The only reason that I present them is that I found them funny and/or interesting. I hope you like them too.
