Rollerblading!
June 13, 2008 7:38 am Random News
I remember as a kid rollerblades were the hot thing to have. I remember zipping around the neighborhood on them, playing roller hockey and all sorts of fun stuff. In fact, I remember one year we went trick-or-treating on rollerblades and that was the year we got the most loot!
Has anyone noticed that you don’t see people on rollerblades as much anymore? Well, now my wife and I are going to be some of those people that do have them! Last week we decided to each get a pair of rollerblades. This way instead of just going for a walk with the kids we can make it a little more fun.
In fact, if the weather holds out we’re planning on going rollerblading up the canyon tomorrow morning. I’m excited to go, since I really haven’t done something like that since I was a teenager. Hopefully I still remember some of my old ‘moves’ 
.
By the way, this picture is the actual blades that I got, and my wife got the girly version of them. Pretty good price on them too! I guess one good thing is that rollerblades are overall a lot cheaper now than they used to be!

I definitely remember getting my first pair of rollerblades! I was so stoked! Unfortunately I didn’t really have a good place to use them. I haven’t rollerbladed in a long time now.

I bet this rollerblades will be trendy again in another few years. Remember when bikes where trendy. Well they are back in full force again. It just seems like one big cycle.

Rollerblading is really fun. Your excitement is obvious, even I can’t forget my teen days.

Well Dude, even i love Rollerblades. Though i am not expert in it and i am still learning but i really enjoy them. I do have a pair of Rollerblades and i use them just for fitness and fun.

Wow, I haven’t been roller blading in like, 10 years. I think if I tried now, I’d probably fall on my face and break my neck.
Good luck to you and your wife - Hope you enjoy(ed?) your time at The Canyon.

I’ve noticed that too, but then I thought it was just me imagining stuff. Because when they were popular, I used to pay attention to anyone who was using them. You know, following their moves and trying to figure out how they manage to stay on their feet
I guess it was a big craze that kinda faltered a bit. Same thing happened with skateboards.

Roller Blading?
Well its always in style at the beach but other than that, nobody does it in the neighborhood anymore.
More like a think from the past. However, it reportedly burns about 816 calories per hour.

Nice set of wheels! The kids have all switched over the those skateboards that bend in the middle now. I see a few with skates in their shoes, but no roller blades as of late. Glad you’re reviving the trend.

Rollerblading is still so much fun to do. I haven’t in years though.
[Reply]
Are they cheaper? I see people on the beach roller blading all the time. Where have you been?? Perhaps you just haven’t been looking in the right places. At any rate, happy blading. I hear it’s a great ab work out!!

My sister likes to rollerblade sometimes :).
Have to be careful though!

It’s quite interesting you bring this up, because just yesterday I saw someone rollerblading and I thought, “I think it’s been years since I’ve seen someone with rollerblades.” I used to do it all the time… not anymore though.

I see them often here in Copenhagen and I must admit I am a bit jealous of people who are really good at it. I am almost 2 meters and never scated either, so when a friend of mine convinced me to try I took a big dive and ever since that I stay of those things - as well as scates (is that the right name for them).
Anyway, good luch with the project- bring some good music on the head phones right?

I believe we might see a roller blading comeback with the high price of gas! It would also be good for our waistlines.

Every business can use labels to save time, increase efficiency, advertise their product and
as a way to keep your companies name where it belongs…infront of your customers!

I do this all the time, and up here in Vancouver, it’s more popular than ever
[Reply]
This sure would help reduce the commute time to work!
[Reply]
I would agree, it is one big cycle, blades are popular again in Canada.

The weather is warming up where I’m at and I’m thinking of getting a pair of rollerblades. I think I’ll get a pair of old skates since a lot of people just give up after awhile. I’m a bit scared too of wiping out… There are just too many wrist accidents and tailbone accidents. Plus, I don’t want to road surf…

Always been into rollerblading and always will, never give up on exercise I enjoy.

I was a big into roller blading as a kid. I would have my dog drag me through the neighborhood on my skates. I really learned how to make quick decisions on them. That later led to a college hockey scholarship. I wish more people roller bladed, you never know who the next Wayne Gretzky is, and unless he is born next to ice we may never know.

Rollerblading is one of my most favorite. I never give it up

I find rollerblades useful especially during spring and summer time.
Not only is rollerblading a fun and healthy way of spending your time, but it helps you “travel” from place to place much faster too.

Hi Dan,
thanks for posting this one up. Glad to read something worthwhile like this one.
its great to hear about you and your wife rollerblade skating together. that is just way fun.
gotta have to try it my wife too. it’ll be a good workout and stress reducer for us both.

Rollerblading … is something I never tried because I always thought I’d do something stupid, fall and/or break something. Back in the day, I used to skateboard quite a bit, which is funny, because some people feel the same way about skateboarding as I do about rollerblading.
[Reply]
Yeah, I don’t see as much rollerblading going on nowadays. However, a couple years ago I seen these shoes they came out with, that could be turned into mini rollerblades whenever you needed them. I know because I seen some clown at Walmart coasting around the store, then he would detract them and start walking regular… Anyway, you have such a random blog; comments as well…
