I wouldn't mind getting some new gear, my jacket and pants are waaaay too baggy and since I'm not a park rat I look dumb wearing what I wear haha.

I'm a terrible skater and I picked up skiing after a couple private lessons. Was doing blacks and double blacks on my 4-5th day out.
As for my friends who play hockey and ski they say that yes the "pushing" part is very similar. But, honestly the only time you over "skate" is when you're on flat.
