Have you ever skated? Ice skating, roller/inline skating, or skateboarding? I've done all three, but never got the hang of skateboarding.

 

[BantyChooks]

Up until recently, ice skating every winter and pond hockey when the opportunity arose. I broke my wrist a few years back which cooled me off substantially. I like activities with softer floors.

 

[Sally PB]

We used to ice skate and roller skate as kids. I have never gone skateboarding.

I broke mine about 9 years ago. I still get a gut clench reaction when I feel myself losing my footing. I think my skating and skiing days are over, and I'm fine with that.

Me too. I haven't had the same confidence since. I stick with weight training and walking for my fitness now, but I do miss the balance and coordination challenge of skating - something I think is important to maintain.

Something I found interesting is how many older people in Japan have superb mobility and balance. I attribute that to the floor seating still present in many areas. Use it or lose it, I suppose.

I read about that too.

Roller skated. That was the thing to do c. late 70's early 80's.

I ice skate whenever I have the chance. I was ice skating all last weekend.

Played ice hockey for a season years ago. Used to roller skate rarely as a kid

Ice skate up until the late 70s and skate board in the 60s. Friend from California and I did skate board on top of the Korat Hotel in Thailand in 1971, only smooth surface for little round wheels.
