Dyspraxic Adults

Has anyone had any sucess in learning to ice skate, rollerblade or in-line skate?

I can skate, I just can't stop!!!

Funnily enough that is my problem too...

Has led to a couple of trips to A & E as a result.... went roller blading with my cousin tried to stop whilst avoiding a little kid who got in the way, but managed to go through the emergency exit (doors were closed at the time) straight into a game of badminton...

Needless to say have not offered to go with my cousin again...

No, I can manage Skateboarding though.

Give me a board and Im fine, whether it be a skateboard snowboard or surfboard, give me skates and get ready to laugh!!!

Its funny you should ask, I can inline skate, and I'm actually not that bad, but at first it wouldn't be the first time I've took a tumble, but as you know, if you fall over its just a case of getting back up and keep on trying, just like everything else in life.

What bugs me as I can inline skate but can't get the hang of rollerskates for some reason my feet go in every direction but the one I want to go...

the only way I can stop is if I crash into someone/something/the ground. The only time I went ice skating, I was left unable to walk for two weeks after injuring my back! Now I'm a happy spectator with a camera if any of my mates invite me!
I like flat shoes that are close to the ground - if I'm raised up on anything, be it heels or wheels, my feet don't know what they're doing!
