Oh, I hated them at first, but my coach made me do them anyway. As I got older, I grew to like them, and then when I came back to skating as an adult I discovered two things: kids that didn't do them couldn't turn nearly as well as I, and that there was NO ONE at my new club that could even do simple backwards 8s, never mind counter or rocker turns. So very sad.
