Living up in the great white north and being raised in the 90s, skating of that particular kind didn’t really exist in the small town I grew up in. There were skating rinks and there were a few times I went there for school. I dreaded it because I was in your situation, I didn’t know how to skate. I was taught a few times but overall I’d say I was a Wall Clinger with a few times managing to pull away from the wall and somewhat skate on the ice.
