David...
I still ice skate when I can. I started out as a speed skater at the age of 8 and have been skating ever since!
Thanks to working at our Rec-Plex I can pretty much drop in and skate when I want if the ice is not being used.
At our complex we have THREE ice rinks and one of them is usually empty.
The two hockey rinks are in use from 5:00 a.m. until after midnight almost every day of the year!
I ride my bike, walk, do a little fly fishing, etc.
Played and officiated softball, basketball, soccer, hockey. All on the local amateur level.Was a catcher in baseball for many years (younger times).
Enjoy almost all sports as a spectator now. Especially local and amateur divisions. I enjoy a high school basketball game much more than watching the NBA!
Some things like synchronized swimming and diving and the fancy figure skating I definitely class as "exhibitions" and not sports! My take is if you have to rely on some judge or group of judges to get a score then it is not definitive and no longer a sport.
