I have been meaning to buy some rollerblades in the spring and give it a try but now you are scaring me. Is it really that hard? I don't want to break an anckle or something on my first time out. I can be a little clumsey at times. :tongue:

I love rollerblading. It took me awhile to get use to it..stopping and being able to jump over things but once I got going I loved it.

I use to roller skate all the time when I was younger. I would go every week with friends. We use to dance skate too. That was fun.

Ice skating...well I can do it but I can't do much of it. I apparently have weak ankles so I would go around about twice and then I would have to stop. My ankles would start trying to turn over. I do have a stretched ligament in my right ankle though so I am sure that did not help matters.

Skateboarding...I use to be a skater chick. I would go out and skate with my brother and all his buddies. I thought skater guys were hot. LOL.

Skiing...I suck at it. I can not stop. Its scary.

You must be kidding.... I've tried skating, blading, ice skating, and skateboarding. Skiing is way easier and you're wearing so much fluff that when you fall it's just amusing. I miss it, really, but I've been too broke to go in the last couple years.

My husband took it up and it's just.....funny. It is the only time I see him not being 'cool'. This one time he spun around 4 times then fell on his ass. I had to laugh.

I just took my son out skating at the Metropark nearby. It will definitely not be the last. Lots of fun and a bit-o-exercise too!

I'm picking this shit up pretty fast. Still struggling with the fancy quick turns and stops but damn im exponetially better then when I started and I've only had the skates for 2 weeks.

You're STILL trying that shit???

*runs*

Yeah and its working out well you...you ... doubter of my skillzs you... oh and if you ever wanted to know, it doesnt work well if I wear my goth gear with them. Something about my helmet and bondage pants that doesnt go. I cant for the life of me see how skate boarders wear such baggy pants when they skate, my bondages pants keep pulling me down.

Going out again to try my luck at skating. I'll report back my finding of the effects of being buzzed and trying to skate, it should be fun.

Good luck, and use a tree if you can't get your brakes to work.

Um....I could be wrong but I don't think that's such a good idea.

It worked for me!

Lol but how was your face afterwards?

Posted

I have this uncanny ability to keep my face away from tree bark.

Did some rounds last night on the blades. It was nice.

Went to National, then to Main, then to Paul & Julia's, then home and man are my legs sore..... (Approx 4 Miles round trip) =)

I really should do that more often

I have a freind who is a stunt skater, even with the guard he almost broke his wrist the other day.

I might slow down a bit.

I go so fast sometimes when I fall I just go flying.

HAHA. Im back from my business trip out east and I had a blast. Went out skating again and had no difficulites at all. Hell I can even stop pretty well now. My girl is still struggling a bit but man, where light years ahead of where we were. Time to try again.

And just WHERE in the East were you?

I spent the week in New Haven Conn at Yale. I was in town for business and got to drive the long Island sound. Didnt have time to get down to NY or over to Boston though as I was in meetings the whole damn week but man, what beatiful area. I'm suppose to be going to Philly next wekk but that fell through due to me spending all my travel budget this quarter.

corporate travel is so much fun... all expense paid to go do a little business and drink a bunch. Fun

You were too far North. Next time, come to Baltimore.
