or roller blade or whatever . . .

I've never been coordinated to do it. Been trying all my life; about once every 3 years and I've never gotten the hang of it.

What about you?

Yes, but I fall a lot. It's too bad because I'd like to join a rollerderby team if I was agile enough. Actually, I came up with my screenname as a rollerderby name originally. But I'm just too clumsy. And I'd probably get sick of being in close contact with other people.

I've rollerbladed before, when I was 11, but never competitively. :)

Since I was two!! Rollerskated competitively from age 8 to age 22. Now I rollerblade for exercise (and fun). I'm not as good on those as the quad skates, but it's still a great time. I'm not the most graceful person, but on rollerskates something transforms me and I am while on them.

I tried it when I was 7, and I completely sucked at it.

Ice skating is even more difficult.

Roller blading, biking, skateboarding. if you name it, and it has wheels attatched, i suck at it.
Oddly enough i'm not too bad at ice-skating, since i've only been twice

Yes, I'm pretty good considering I rarely even rollerblade! Ice skating lessons when I was little probably helped though. But as for roller skating, forget it!

Four-wheeled skates: Yes, and I'm actually quite good.

Inline skates: No, I'm too uncoordinated for them and can't even manage to stand-up!

Yep, skated since I was about 8 or 9 and can reach a fair speed on quads. I even did rollerhockey for a time. Can do inlines but a lot, lot harder and they have to be the close to the ground ones.

I can inline skate fairly well. I went to the skate park (half-pipe & stuff like that) a lot when I was younger, but now I rarely use my skates anymore.

I can't rollerskate or iceskate. I never tried Rollerblading, I have no desire or guts to try it. I spent a summer in sleepaway learning how to roller skate and ride a bike but was never successful in either.
