Skating

#1 Post by cky182 »

So, anyone else here skate (rollerblading or skateboarding)? I rollerblade, I'm not too good, but I can do a few grinds.

I have Salomon ST80 skates. (should make sense to fellow skaters :) )

As for skateboarding... I skated for about 2 years then quit.

cool, I skated for a couple of years, stopped, and just got into it again, hence the reason I can't do too much. I tried skateboarding in between the years I skated, but gave up.

I prefer ice skating, buuuut...

I'm an okay roller skater. I don't do it often, though- the reason I say decent is because somehow I am always able to pick it back up again. But I never have any fun skating unless friends are with me- which is why I don't do it often. Plus all the rinks and stuff around here stink.

As for tricks... nada. :-P

I have only iceskated before and I am a beginner at it. The reason why I don't iceskate much is because I sadly don't have a local ice skating rink anywhere near where I live.

I haven't rollarbladed in 5 years but I do skateboard sometimes. I'm not that good because I've only skateboarded a few times. Some of my friends think it's funny that I skateboard cuz they say I'm not really the skateboarding type and I guess I'm not but who cares.

I love skating. I actually miss it. I kinda was in a 10k race in the rain and my bearing haven't been the same since. And being a poor college student, new bearings don't take precedence over school books.

Anyway, I have been dying to try my hand at some agressive skating. I'm really good on flat surfaces and I have been dying to try some verts and some grinds. Of course that also would require money because I would need to get agressive style skates as opposed to the street hockey ones I have right now.

Anyone care to donate? ;) :battar:

I'm finally back for the summer, although hopefully I'll spend a little more time away from this screen.

I love rollerblading...unfortunatly I grew out of my rollerblades. Skateboarding I just can't get into, my brother use to have one but my mom ran over it because he left it out. I like watching people skateboard instead of me skateboarding.

I like ice skating... especially with my dog, he likes to pull me like a sled on the nearby frozen lake, and I teach him to obey commands like "left" "right" and "halt".

I have some roller blades, but I'm awful with them. Plus, now that we've moved, there's nowhere with sidewalk to use them.

I probably couldn't skate well to save my life :) haha. Ice skating...well, I'm getting better, but I'm nowhere near good, rollerblading, well, nope. Skateboarding..actually never tried, but I doubt I'm good. Not enough balance >.< haha.

I haven't had a pair of rollerblades since like..4th grade lol.

I have a skateboard though. I like to use it in the carpet in my room where I know I won't fall off xD. I had to live in a hotel for a month or two over the summer and when my stepbrother came down he taught me a few tricks cause there was alwyas no one in the parking lot and got me into it but now that I'm back in my house there's nowhere for me to practice :(
