Are there any skaters here? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Besides me? I've been figure skating since I was a kid. Even though I quit when I was in high school and didn't take up the sport again until after I graduated from college, I've been at it for about 7 1/2 years now; and I skate better now as an adult than I did as a kid. I've passed ISI Freestyle 6, USFSA Adult Silver, and the USFSA Pre-Preliminary and Preliminary Moves-in-the-Field tests. I'm taking my Pre-Juvenile Moves test next month. I compete locally and nationally, and perform in my rink's annual Ice Show every year.

How about you?

LOL, when I read that topic, I thought you meant skateboarding! I used to, when I was like 12, but I broke my wrist on a half pipe, so I quit.

I also use to rollerblade, but I broke some ribs going down a bunch of stairs, so I gave it up as well.

I guess I'm pretty accident prone!

Two years ago I took up agressive rollerblading. It was very cool and I loved every second of it. I broke my hand once and continued. Then I was grining down a rail and almost broke my leg. I was told to choose between softball/basketball or rollerblading. Had to go with my first love--softball and b-ball. Agressive skating was like a natural high for me though and I hated giving it up. It had nasty after effects though becuase I still have knee trouble and a fractured bone in my foot from jumping and landing at such a hard impact.

As others, I thought you were talking about skateboarding.

Skateboarding used to be my life. For three years, that's all I did, everyday. I was sponsered by the local skate shop, so I was pretty serious.
But then I injured my knee pretty badly ( busted my kneecap), so I had to stop. It's pretty depressing now, but I still enjoy "rolling" around every so often.

I am the opposite Dude, I can't roller skate but can Ice skate. I haven't done ice skating since the mid 1980's. I am very much older now. In my youth there were 4 wheeled roller skates and I could never find an easy way to stop. I go to walls to stop and I would fall a lot. . But Ice skating I could do.

Me, too -- when I was younger, in my 30s. I'm pretty big, and it wasn't a good idea for a little kid to cut right in front of me.

Which happened once. I somehow went over him and fortunately he came up laughing.
