I wish rollerblading was in again. Strap on some spandex shorts and your favorite Backstreet Boys t-shirt and roll away!

Anyone else miss it? No?
Fine . Bump YOU.
I'm riding off on my big purple bike.

    YES! I knew there were closet bladers out there.

    I just wish my roller blades weren't in the States.

    I'm sure there's a stack of archaic exercise formats that need to be revitalized.

    Jazzercise anyone? In fact... who remembers Mousercise? THAT was my first workout record.

    I used to RollerBlade a few years back when I worked 2nd shift. Was doing about 6miles in 45min every day before work, then stopped doing it when I joined roller derby. Once I ruined my knees with that, I decided I no longer belong on wheels.

    There are plenty of rollerbladers around here. I notice because those wide sweeps cross over into my bike lane :(

    Still, I am impressed at the ones going up some of those hills!

    Screw Roller Blades, I want Roller Rinks back. Disco skating, now that was fun :)

    Oh and there were no braces, no helmets and no knee pads, when you wiped out it really hurt :P

    I liked rollerblading a lot. Until I broke both arms doing it. I never got on a pair of rollerblades again.

    I'm an absolute disaster area with no balance. I got the bright idea to take my siberan husky with me. Got going too fast, and fell, snapping both arms.

    I love roller blading and do it a lot in the summer. I live near a state park and there are a lot of people that do it! It's alot of fun near the lakeshore beach.

    I actually was inspired to buy a pair last weekend when I saw a group of people rollerblading. I haven't got to use them yet though because it's been too cold. Can't wait though! I plan to bring it back into style!

    Maybe everyone down here gave up on it.

    I loved speed skating and long distance skeelering (roller blading in dutch). Got an auto immune disease in 2011 that impairs balance so I can't do it anymore. Sniff. Wish I could though. I had huge glutes when I was doing this.
