Headed down to East Coast Park this afternoon with 4 other friends to roller blade. I think its been a good 4 years plus since I last bladed. The last closest things I did to blading was skiing down the mountains of Mt. Hotham on my ski trip in Melbourne last year.
Anyway, typical weekend crowd was there at the beach. Spent about 2 hours blading up and down the East Coast stretch. Was good fun I must say, especially after not having bladed for a freaking long time. I'm not that great at blading.... I can move at a pretty decent speed, but I cannot stop properly for nuts! Option one for me is to jump onto the nearest grass or sand patch in sight. If not, I try attempting to stop with the back break... which I need to emphasize is not that effective unless I'm going at snail pace.
Nonetheless, I think all of us had a pretty good time. The weather was kind and was just good having to catch up with my ex-team mates.
I wanna go back and blade again... suddenly after today's session, there's just this great urge to wanna blade there again. Anyone keen on joining me??? Let me know ya!
