(I clicked onto this title by mistake, but) – I’ve competed in local and Adult National (Figure Skating) Championships and they’re fun. For anyone who wants to learn how to figure skate, my suggestion is to enroll in group classes at your local rink (some are probably taking applications now for their fall/winter season). Depending on the rink, some classes run from 6-8 weeks, once a week for 1/2 hrs. Worth it. You’ll learn the proper skills and techniques necessary to learn how to skate.
