Well, the saga of the rollerblades, sans interesting pictures, continued in a positive direction.
1) Used to rollerblade. Had a decent set, made of plastic. Not the best quality but they did the job.
2) Busy Lizzie working out to try out for roller derby, thought I'd lend moral support by digging out my roller blades and going skating with her.
3) Twenty or more year old plastic is a brittle and fractious thing.
4) Had so much fun that I bought a new set of Bauer Vapor RX-05 blades. Love 'em. Second time out on those today and I am remembering how to cross over when cornering. Barely windmilled my arms around like an idiot at all today.
5) I skate like a hockey player. Every time I push off I kick with my toe. It serves no purpose at all on blades but if I break the habit it will affect my ice skating. Can't think of a reason to care since I never ice skate anymore, but I may want to start again since this is fun.
