I never went ice skating as a kid, so I never learned how. But then Jojo dragged me out skating last winter. I was hesitant because I'd never gotten above holding onto the wall and thought I'd fail miserably (which is apparently what happened to the last guy she dragged out there), but I surprised myself by getting the hang of it pretty quickly and ended up having fun. I did fall once, but that was because someone fell and slid right in front of me (I barely managed to avoid them, but at the cost of losing my balance).
