| Summary: | flipsy v "Flypsying" . . . is something I used to enjoy very much when I was 11 -13 yrs old. . . . This we did in the spring when the ice began to break up. When the ice was right we would do it dinner time and again after school . . . The ice would have to be broken in ice pans near the shore, we used to flippsy most in the mouth of the river, usually where the water was about up to our necks. . . . This was most fun when the pans were just big enough to support your own weight just long enough for one step and then you lept [sic] for another pan until you were across the cove. . . .
