I can ice skate, roller skate, water ski but don't look too graceful. I broke my arm roller skating as a 9 year old but still took it up again in my 50s. I had a fall in front of a snack bar and some wise guys (once they saw I wasn't hurt) held up their napkins with scores (like the Olympics)! I quit after a few more falls, no injuries, sold my skates.
I always wanted sports to be fun, not caring about the outcome, friends told me you have to care more about winning. I never did,

i tried roller skating one day, and with results to yours, minus the broken arm though. i did break my nose playing baseball. hit square on the nose with a pitched ball. had i turned my head the other way though it would have bounced off the back of my helmet.

you and bowling are like me and auto racing, and a very bad day racing is still better than a great day doing anything else.
