Why do you skate?
Let's face it, there's no money in skating. There's no fame. There's no fortune. So, why do you skate?

Fitness and forgetting/escaping for a while... a break...
I skate for enjoyment and exercise. Since skating is fun for me and really good exercise into the bargain, it's a win-win situation.
I agree, it's great for mental health and physical health. It's a wonder more people don't do it.
Started when I was wworking alot. it was great escape.very zen. when skating nothing mattered if it wasn't on the skate rink floor. my world and troubles shrank to the rink floor. great way to meet new people not work related. no matter how much I learned there was always more.it is an activity I can continue into my retirement. Often told to live in the moment. when skating that is what you are forced to. in a rink with 100 kids on the floor or outside with cars passing by.
I'm retired nearly 2 years. Loving it and skating 2 times a week. It is zone time for me too
