“How to Ice Skate With Tai and Randy.” Marco. $19.95. Unless viewers have ice-skating rinks in their living rooms, learning the ropes from U.S. skating champs Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner will be a tough proposition. The 60-minute lesson runs the gamut from dressing to dancing on ice. The dressing part is easy to follow, but merely watching won’t help accomplish the rest. Old footage of the two in action is lovely, but their teaching banter with students and each other is strained and cute. Best spend the money on an actual lesson. Information: (213) 276-3100.
