Ho ho ho Rodge, you have me ho-ho-hoing right in time for the holiday. I couldnt put it better myself. What will they think of next, a backbend skate with one wheel attached to the head and the other to the rear end? Uh-oh, maybe i shouldnt have put…
Hi Allison. I have never skated there but I can give you a nice story. I'm a pet sitter by trade and I care for a dog and cat belonging to a cute young couple. They had not yet married when I met them. As a surprise, the young man decided to propose…
Michael I hear ya loud and clear. One of our local parks has done some road reconstruction also on the bike paths and it is really made for skating - except for one thing: for some reason, probably decor, every few yards on one of the paths there is…
Golf has youth appeal???? Sure it does (ha ha ha). My advice to the roller sports committees is this: - send the female skaters out dressed (?) like the beach volleyballettes and see how fast roller sports are snapped up.
I would like to hear from Oregonians or skaters from Seattle how they manage to get out in a rainy climate. New Jersey has turned into one, and we now get maybe one good day out of 8 or 10. I'm used to being out every day in the summer. Do Oregonian…
Wow, sorry to hear that.....i've skated on K2 EXO 60 for many years and loved them, only stopped using them when i purchased the K2 hi-lo skate. Its interesting that in the store they felt great and acted up on the street. What I would do is return…
They seem to have a lot of advantages over ordinary quads for outdoor skating. I have not tried them.
I want to know if anyone on this site has ever skated on Quadlines and if so, how do you like them? They look like kinda fun. Let me know!!
How beautiful....so very true and beautiful. Whether its the floor, or the road, or the bike path or the concrete, the main thing is the skates and the wheels and that wonderful "endless expanse...making its way through all the beautiful places in m…
Skater's Dream
OK, I didn't know where else to post this, but it isn't exactly humorous. If it touches you where it matters, so be it. This poem came to me during a moment of inspiration way back in the past.

- been rollin' since FDR was president, no reason to stop now. i love cats, am a java junkie, take care of animals professionally, and all i ask of life is a cat, a pair of skates (preferably K2), a good book and a roof that doesnt leak. Oh yes, and videos of Sean Bean and Johnny Depp.

On Turning 75
There are four ways to deal with this rather horrendous milestone.
1. THE STUPID WAY:
O.D.
2. THE NATURAL WAY:
Check the birth certificate. There must be some mistake.
3. THE PHILOSOPHICAL WAY:
Give a blood-curdling shriek, then tip a nice glass of red and do the acceptance
thing.. Just think - if you live to mark your 80th, you'll look back and wish to Gawd
it was this one.
4. THE BRILLIANT WAY:
Head for the park, strap on your wheels and get it done.
THEN give a blood-curdling shriek and t… Continue

Danny Dannels said… - Ann, I don't even use brakes. They get in the way for me. I either slow-plow, t-stop, or, skate faster. That was a stretch for me to learn. I am always amazed at the patience of teachers. Even when they don't realize they are passing on knowledge.
