Roller Skating

Oplesandbanonos

I've recently started going roller skating about 2 times a week (working on getting my own skates and trying out for roller derby)... does anyone else skate? I feel kind of silly doing it sometimes because the skating rink i go to has a lot of young kids there, but it's fun and i can listen to my ipod. Just an idea for anyone who has ever thought about it.

Don't do it but would absolutely love to. We don't have anything in our area. I loved it when I was young.

I used to skate a lot because I played roller hockey and could always use the extra conditioning. At the rink, however, it was just plain dangerous, with kids falling everywhere just begging to be trampled, haha.

I've been considering dusting off my old hockey skates and taking them out for a spin...after this heat subsides of course.

I do it all the time- I take my daughters at least twice a week, and my local rink has "adult skate" night on Thursday. I used to be on the speed team but I had to quit when I fell and bruised myself from hip bone to knee . It's really fun and a great workout though.

I recently just started rollerblading again after YEARS of not doing it, and it is sooo much fun!
Really good for you too!!
