I'm curious if anyone here rollerblades?
Well, I have some what of an embarassing story for you, and a question.
I use to rollerblade a lot, but I kinda stopped and haven't in a while. Well, I decided to dig them out (thankfully they were MANY sizes to big when I got them..well, they still are..) and try them out. So I've been blading around my house. Not many hills and such, or atleast I avoided them :o I'm at my moms for a few days, so I took them with me knowing there is no hills around her place.......WRONG!!! You're either going up hill, or down. I'm fine with uphill. It's good exersize. So I'm at the top of a hill. Doesn't look so bad, besides, I need to work on stopping. So I try to do what you'd do when skiing, go to one side, then back ot the other. So yeah, I lost my balence a bit, regained it, but at that time I was going fast. How do I stop? There was a road a head, then a ditch. I was worried I'd keep going and fall into it. I told myself I'd just go along the glass like I always did as a kid to stop...WELL there WAS no grass T-T It was all rocks to the side..and another ditch lol. There was just small rocks on one side os I thought I'd be fine. Yeah..nope. I ended up losing my balence again, stumbled forward like 5 steps thinking I'd make it, but fell to the side and rolled a bit. hah. I actually thought it was fun XD but I can't say I'd want to do that again..esp if someone was watching lol
So my question......................HOW DO YOU STOP ON THOSE THINGS? Yes, I know there is a 'break' but it didn't bloody stop me. T-T
*important note* I just found a rock on the top inside of my pants lmao (where my belt is)
