Can you rollerskate?
« on: April 26, 2018, 12:30:14 pm »
I found a rink near my home. There are a lot of cars there in the evening. I need to get back to skating. It has been decades since I have done this.

I haven't roller skated in years either.  I am sure I would be quite unsteady for a bit!  We used to go to Sioux Falls to the Carousel Skate for school trips and for birthday parties.

I loved it when I was younger.  Now I don't have the balance.  :(

I used to rollerskate when I was little, but I don't know if I could do it now.  I mean, I probably could, but if I fell I worry that I would be injured.  If you have a rink near by, that's a great place to start.  I would go to one for birthday parties when I was younger and so long as there aren't idiots trying to knock people over, it's fun.

I used to roller skate back in the days every weekend at neighborhood center.  Now I just go when my kids have parties so I try and show my past skills but usually fall on my butt lol.  But skating is so fun.

Yes I can also roller blade.  Haven't skated in decades I still have my roller blades but haven't done it in a few years.  I don't really have a place that I can do it any more.

The skating rinks were the place to go when I was growing up

I'm sure I still could, but would not even consider it at my age. When I was young I used to spend every weekend at Spec Saunders Roller Rink in Redondo Beach, California, where the single girls were plentiful.

I was pretty good when I was younger.  There was a rink close to my house and we went every weekend.  Could I do it now....I highly doubt it, but wouldn’t try.
