How long have you been skating? How did you start?

I have been skating since I was 4 years old. At that time, my family and I would go to the recreational center to skate in the gym. The skate rentals were the type were you kept your shoes on and strapped the velcro around the top of you shoes. To optimize my speed without falling, I only used one skate and pushed off my flat shoes. So, if you can imagine, it looked like I was skate boarding on quads! :-)
