I have not roller skated in years every since I discovered roller blades when I was about 9 years old. Roller blades are easier to use than skates in my opinion.

Yes, but it's been a long time.

:rose: :rainbow: :rose: Been a long time since I tried to roller skate. I could if I tried again. I used to be good at it, but now with age and time that's gone from this, I'm unsure how I'd do this!  :-\  :rose: :rainbow: :rose:

Yes, I can skate, but badly.

You know when you go to a rink, and someone falls down, and causes others to fall, and you have a pile of bodies?

That kid was me.

I was also the last kid picked for any sport at school unless my friend, Debbie Wilson, was chosen captain, and she picked me.

THAT'S friendship, because I am a menace to any type of sport.

I have never been rollerskating, but I can rollerblade really well. They are completely different, but similar enough that I think I'd be able to manage.

Yes I can! I used to go to rollerskating rinks when I was a teen. I have not been on roller skates in many years! I guess now that i'm older I do not want to fall and break my back!

I haven't rollerskated since our youngest daughter was a child; she's 30 now so its been a while.  I never was super good at it but I did enjoy it.  My sister and I would take our kids skating just about every Saturday and really had a lot of fun.  There's not even a rink in our town anymore though.

Unfortunately, no. The last time I attempted to roller skate (when I was about 12 years old), I feel flat on my bottom. Out of sheer embarrassment, I refuse to try to learn, LOL.

Rollerskating used to be what I did all the time in the driveway of the house I grew up in. I haven't done it in a few years, but I was wanting to do it again in the near future.

I have not been roller skating since I was in grade school. Is it the 4 wheel roller skates or the inline skates.

No, I don't skate either but would consider trying if I could have padding all over.

I always thought it would be fun to learn as a kid but I never did, and now that I'm grown up and paying my own medical bills it's lost a bit of its charm :p

Yes, I can skate but I'll be a bit wobbly since I haven't skated for years!
