Oh, Oh, Wesley,

I hope you know what you're doing: showing interest
about wooden strap-on ice skates; and then you're
telling that you haven't seen such miracles before.
I'm sure some experts will tell more you about these
first-world-wonder-vehicles.

In my youth -on the local frozen streams- everybody
had strap-on ice skates...  except for some prudish
girls who were skating on so called ice-hockey-skates
[which they weren't of course] and these girls always
had pink shawls and paleblue bonnets.

A correction of the spelling: De Friesche
SchaatsenfabriEken.

In Heerenveen used to be the Batavus iceskate factory.
But Batavus nowadays only is known as a factory of
bicycles.

And to show you that this kind of iceskating is a
veeery serious part of life, have a look at:
http://www.iceskatesmuseum.com/museum-n/historie-8.htm

and:
http://www.schaatsenmuseum.nl/museum-n/abc-ned.schaatsen.htm

In any case you will understand the pictures.

vr.gr.
Theo Homan
