I haven't ice skated in a number of years. But when I was 9 or 10 years old I took lessons, then stopped, then started taking lessons again and then stopped right before I got into high school...

I was decent at that starting time, up to a regular axle. But, too afraid to go into the harness...

The key for me was to wear at least 1-2 sized smaller ice skates than my normal shoe size. I felt like I had better control.

My friend's son had his 6th birthday party at a roller rink, and I tried in-line skates the first time, and all the ice skating training came back to me. I did not fall, once... The only difference on in-line skates, stopping is not the same as on ice skates...

Like Blade says:

Some MFs always try to ice skate up hill...
