So, the discussion in the motivation thread got me curious:
How many of you who figure skate can roller skate/blade well? If you can't, could you before you started figure skating?
For me, I used to be pretty good at both before I started figure skating at age 10. By age 16, I was so utterly horrible that I couldn't even do it without holding onto the boards, which I never even did when learning to figure skate! It feels ten times slipperier than ice. My brain just refuses to tolerate skates without nice, sharp edges anymore.
