Oh, Audrey, I shouldn't have even answered this post because I made a complete idiot of myself in my one and only attempt. Helen and I went to a city park, and she's zooming around the hills and everything, and I'm getting blisters and falling down constantly! I guess I have a longer way to fall than she does, or something (this has been at least 3 or more years ago). I finally too them off, and walked the path with her, barefoot. I was so embarassed!! She finally grew into my roller blades, thank goodness, so they have been put to good use!!!! An old lady like me can't learn all of the new tricks, and rollerblading is one I should have left alone!! LOL!!!!
