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 rollerblade but not roller skate.
-
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.
-
I do know how to skate. However i have not in years. I am a senior now and do not plan to skate anymore. It sure was fun and good exercise.
-
Yes I know how to skate but haven't in years. Wouldn't mind going again.
-
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.
-
I used to roller skate as a kid but have not been doing for years now.
-
not very well havent done it since high school.
-
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.
-
No I don't skate.
-
I have not roller skated in years every since I discovered roller blades when I was about 9 years old. Roller blades are easier to use than skates in my opinion.
-
Yes, but it's been a long time.
-
oh I used to be obsessed when I was younger.. I even used to wear roller-skates inside the house to practice... :D I wouldn't mind doing that again...
-
:rose: :rainbow: :rose: Been a long time since I tried to roller skate. I could if I tried again. I used to be good at it, but now with age and time that's gone from this, I'm unsure how I'd do this! :-\ :rose: :rainbow: :rose:
-
Yes, I can skate, but badly.
You know when you go to a rink, and someone falls down, and causes others to fall, and you have a pile of bodies?
That kid was me.
I was also the last kid picked for any sport at school unless my friend, Debbie Wilson, was chosen captain, and she picked me.
THAT'S friendship, because I am a menace to any type of sport.
-
I have never been rollerskating, but I can rollerblade really well. They are completely different, but similar enough that I think I'd be able to manage.
-
Yes I can! I used to go to rollerskating rinks when I was a teen. I have not been on roller skates in many years! I guess now that i'm older I do not want to fall and break my back!
-
I haven't rollerskated since our youngest daughter was a child; she's 30 now so its been a while. I never was super good at it but I did enjoy it. My sister and I would take our kids skating just about every Saturday and really had a lot of fun. There's not even a rink in our town anymore though.
-
Unfortunately, no. The last time I attempted to roller skate (when I was about 12 years old), I feel flat on my bottom. Out of sheer embarrassment, I refuse to try to learn, LOL.
-
Rollerskating used to be what I did all the time in the driveway of the house I grew up in. I haven't done it in a few years, but I was wanting to do it again in the near future.
-
I have not been roller skating since I was in grade school. Is it the 4 wheel roller skates or the inline skates.
-
No, I don't skate either but would consider trying if I could have padding all over.
-
I always thought it would be fun to learn as a kid but I never did, and now that I'm grown up and paying my own medical bills it's lost a bit of its charm :p
-
I could... been years since I last tried. Pretty sure I still could if I tried.
-
Yes, I can skate but I'll be a bit wobbly since I haven't skated for years!
-
I loved to roller skate when I was a teenager. Now I would break something.
-
Yes I can roller skate but I don't anymore because the roller rink located near us closed down. When my kids were young I used to have their birthday parties at the roller rink and they were always well-attended and all the kids had a great time. Roller skating is a really fun way to get a lot of exercise!
-
It has been so many years since I have been on rollerskates. Afraid to now, broken bones don't mend as quickly as when you are young. We spent many of weekend nights at the local roller rink... childhood memories...
-
no I definetly can NOT! Nor ice skate either. I remember having days back in grade school where the class would go to the roller rink, I hated it :( They always made you try it, and no matter how many times I tried I just couldnt do it
-
last time I rollerskate was along time ago on my trip
-
No,but i would like to learn.
-
I haven't skated in years here in NY I can't find a roller skating rink anywhere anymore. I wish there were roller skating rinks near me again
-
Not at all. I always end up on my rear end, lol. Ouch!
-
No i don't skate. I never learned
-
Used to be really good at roller skating but at my age I can barely walk without running into things and falling down now. No way I'd try wheels again lol
-
Many years ago, I used to roller skate to school (not the boot type), but the kind with the key (1940's and 50's).
Later, I took my kids to the roller rink regularly, and used to roller skate with friends.
Today I am 75, and I would never put anything that rolls on my feet.
Was great while it lasted.
:rose:
-
Yes. Unless, of course, you mean without falling down. Then; no. :monkey:
:fish:

This is a very cute post. Thanks for sharing.

When I was a kid I can rollerskate forward. After a few years off of skates I forgot how to. Then I learned how to skate backwards. Then in my late 20's I was done with skating :)
-
I was very good at it, when I was much younger; but now as retiree nearing Medicare I would not even think of it! I could ice skate as well; but those days are long gone don’t want to risk broken bones or any type of fractures; but I do enjoy watching others skate!
-
Yes, I absolutely love rollerskating! But I have not done it in so long.
-
I can roller blade. Does that count? I have never actually tried to rollerskate. No one really used those by the time I came along.
-
I use to be able to roller skate, now I don't know if I can.
-
I can skate some but it's been awhile. One of my best friends has kept up with it though. And it's a great way to get a little exercise in and a stress relief.
-
I Love to be able to rollerskate. However, I have balance issues and I am unable to. :rainbow: :rose: :peace: :wave:
-
Have bad knees, so No, I don't roller skate.
-
Tried it twice when I was younger, fell down twice and that was the end of that.
-
i use to be able to ,,,,last time i tried it dident go good!!!!!!
-
I used to rollerstake as a kid in grade school but not anymore.
-
Yeah, for like two seconds....boom...crash.... ::)
-
I love roller skating but now I am afraid if I fall I will break something!
-
No I don't, I will go with my church on outings and watch others roller skate.
-
I did as a kid all the time, but as an adult I found out at the Rink, that I have lost the balance for it. Maybe if I tried again and harder it would come back, but at my age, I have no desire to go roller skating. :'(
-
No, I don't skate, but would sure like to.
-
I used to roller skate quite a bit as a kid but that stopped long ago. If I tried nowadays I would probably fall and break something. At my age, that isn't good! However, when I was a kid, there was a rink in my little town and I got into the habit of going on the weekends for several years. At the time, I really loved it! However, I never learned to ice skate.
-
I can skate just not very well
-
I can fall on my azz trying ,if I'm asked I might as well make a res. at the hospital first and book an ambulance as well.
-
I could when I was a kid though I was never great at it. My friends and I would go to the skating rink on the weekends when we were young.
-
I used to love to skate when I was younger.
-
To this day I have not tried it, I do skateboard though if that counts lol.
-
I see skateboarders in the streets and think "not a road vehicle" and watch to see the inevitable ending of such foolishness. Bad enough that ppl ride their bikes in the streets and we've had fatalities.
-
When I was a teenager I could skate pretty good. We had a small skating ring and our church group use to go all the time. The last time I tried to skate, I carried my daughter and ended up falling on my butt.
-
I could skate when I was a kid but I am lucky to walk now due to physical problems stemming from childhood scoliosis. Well I feel blessed to do whatever I can.
-
I used to all the time when i was younger, now the only rolling i do is with a walker very slow. :D :P :notworthy: :silly:
-
When I was younger we went to the roller rink quite often. Now I'm too uncoordinated.
