I skated as a kid, but only sporadically. Fandom got me into hockey RPF and then I decided to try playing for myself, even though all I could do was skate straight, do a large turn, and eventually stop. It was a lot of fun! I hope I'll get another opportunity one day.

Actually the action speed is more similar than I thought it would be: you play one shift/try one route and it's very intense, and then you get a short break to catch your breath, I like that. I also like that climbing feels like using more of my body :) And, when the weather is bad, that it's indoors ;)
