Rollerblading

Anyone take part in this fun activity? I do. It's my
summertime exercise along with running. I usually go at
night with my discman for about an hour.

A lot of people think rollerblading is something only gay
people do, but alas I'm not.

While I'm on the topic, here are some other gay things I
enjoy:

-Fruit Smoothies
-Nice Scents (Bodywash, Candles, etc)
-Dance Music
-Cleaning

Here are the rollerblades I have. Mission D3C's. I bought
hard outdoor wheels since they came with indoor wheels which
only lasted about a month. I've also bought Swiss Bearings
(ABEC 7) since the ones that came with the skates have gone
to crap as well. Partially my fault though. Skating through
pebble and gravel infested places and in the rain for a bit.

wearing a glove for the photo was a poor choice. it's as
though the sandwich is unsanitary.... but I digress.

as a skateboarder, we were required to refer to them as
fruit-boots.

I am debating getting a pair of rollerblades to get to work
this summer. Which brand should I get? I hate walking in to
stores so I'll probably just get some shit on line..
hopefully they fit..

rollerblading across a bridge is the best feeling in the
world! The river breeze in your hair, the sun bouncing of
the water's surface, the slight hum as you reach high
speeds, the g forces as you reach the corner ahhh!.

nice sk8s, m8.

i used to skate a bit, but stopped it with all that "lack of
free time"

i need to pickup some new skates for this summer.
unfortunetely where i moved to, doesnt have the best of
areas to skate.

I used to skate. Got through 2 pairs of old quads as a kid,
then some non-descript inlines once I managed to put a hole
in the quads, then finally in my early teens got some roces
rome blades and tricked them up to near roces 'street' level
(brass bearing spacers, metal rocker washer, sonic grind
plates) good thing I did- the nylon parts were really mashed
up by the time I replaced them.

I wasn't good by any means (gash on halfpipes), but could
grind reasonably well/long distances as well as use ramps,
funboxes etc.

My hometown's skating hero, Richard Taylor (UK champ, great
skater and nice bloke) coofed it earlier this year as a
result of skating related injury. Ironically, he hit a
lampost at 25mph, just doing a bit of downhilling. Seems
funny he'd go out like that when you consider you'd usually
see him jumping backwards down flights of stairs etc.

I really miss rollerblading! Just to get around, really,
nothing ''extreme'' as the kids say today. I used to 'blade
everywhere around town, and at the time I'd take my walkman.
This was a long time ago and only really rich kids had a
discman.

It's still appealing to me, but I don't do it. This topic
brings up some good mammories.

i took rollerblading seriously from 8-10 grade. aggressive
style. i had a pair of k2 backyards and later
rollerblade dirks. gave it up and went back to
skateboarding.

now i'm a lazy college graduate who doesn't do much of
anything except sit infront of the computer. funny thing is,
i work for a company called dircks.
