Does anyone else enjoy skating. I have started going to a quad roller skating group (discos!). I also now go to an in-line skating group which goes out into the parks in the better weather. I've always enjoyed ice skating although don't go that often as I could never find skates that didn't hurt my feet.
I find skating wonderful exercise and it is especially good for developing the 'core muscles' in the stomach area as well as strengthening the legs and improving the balance.
I have not been to any classes but in typical Autie or Aspie fashion I can learn by teaching myself and can now skate backwards.
I love skating and have recently gotten into ice skating, I bought some skates because the hire ones were awful and I haven't had lesson either but bought a book on ice skating, as you say in true aspie fashion I picked it up pretty quickly and can zoom round quickly, im comfortable with crossovers on the turns and can skate backwards! I really enjoy it though, I go on my own as I don't have many friends and certainly non who want to go ice skating and I can happily spend hours zooming around the rink!
