Go take lessons and learn how if it's important to you. No, you will not become an Olympian, but that's not what you're aiming for, right? Good luck!

I'm think I'm somewhere in between average and clinging-to-the-wall, but it's been years since I last skated.

I've only been ice skating twice in my life, both times as an adult, so I'm pretty much still in the "clinging to the wall" stage. Never learned how to roller blade either.

You skate, I'll watch. Can you pass me your smart phone first though?

Me too! I did figure skating from age 5 through my teen years. It was a different sport back then. There was more emphasis on artistry and footwork and less emphasis on the big jumps.

Yes, but my ankles hurt afterwards, so I haven't done it in a long time. Maybe I should say I probably still remember how to rather than yes.

I used to skate with my friends and siblings as a teen, but it's been years. I'm certain I will fall on my face if I try again, though my kids have not given up on me yet.

My girls have taken a few lessons just to get them on their feet, so that they can enjoy themselves when their school or camp takes them skating. They have learned a few tricks too. They can also roller blade - no lessons, just a take-off from the ice skating.

OP if you want to skate, why not take a few lessons? It's not a major investment, and does not take alot of time to get away from the wall.

Put it this way,if someone took pictures of me ice skating,there would be one of me standing on the ice,one of me falling flat on my back and the last one would be me being carried off the ice on a stretcher!

Yes. Used to love it. Nothing fancy, but I could do it. I agree it's a fun thing for a family.
