Hello everyone,
Just joined the community a few minutes ago, hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I'm interesting in learning to skate (at 38!), not even sure if it's possible. I searched online for public skating forums or whatever non figure skating is called but couldn't fin anything, so I joined this one as it looked as the most comprehensive forum of the ones I checked, I hope you don't mind an intruder ;-)
So first question is is it at all possible to learn how to ice skate at my age or is it something that must be learned when still a kid?
Any recommendations on a public skating forum?
When it's not figure skating but it's also not hockey, it named public skating?
What is the difference between Junior and senior skates, is it related to age or skill level?
Do you recommend a specific brand of skates for a total beginner?
Is it comparable to roller blading? It's easier to go out and skate on the street than on an ice rink every time (please don't flame me if I'm asking a really stupid question).
Thanks! Looking forward to hearing back from you!
