Do you know how to roller-skate?

Yes – did it as a little girl with those thingies you fastened to your regular shoes. You could change their size with a clock-windup key.

I was 45 in 1990 when I bought my first pair of rollerblades. Don’t give up just because you’ve never done it before.

I know how to roller skate, inline skates work best for me. I found out recently there is an ice skating arena close by, I am much better on ice skates than roller skates. Both help me keep fit.

It’s easy, just like ice skating only on wheels.

Elliot will be skating circles around them within an hour.

Last time I tried roller skating, I fell so hard on my butt I couldn’t sit down without a cushion for almost a month.

Another thing to consider before you do, how are you fixed for health insurance.

No, but I can roller-coaster.

judging from her expression, I’m guessing it never happened…

The last time I went roller skating, I broke my elbow. No more skating for me!

I had the roller skates with a key. I skated every day as a child. Sneakers were the worst to wear with skates so I would use different shoes that they could hold on the skates.

Better make sure to wear a helmet, elbow and knee pads.
