Curling.
Yes that absolutely ridiculous thing they call a sport on the Olympics. All you have to do is push this stone down the ice to score – seems easy enough.
Well it is not as easy as it looks, but it is rather fun. Last weekend I had my first curling lesson. We quickly found out that it takes a lot of practice to throw the stone at the perfect speed. My friends and I started learning and we found this older man that was willing to help. He helped teach up the proper way to throw and sweep the ice….and all was going well until he fell and possibly broke his nose. I guess we are bad luck 
Overall it was a really fun day and I highly suggest the experience. Just be careful because the ice is slick
