As of yesterday, I am proud to say I have partaken in another four-wheeled activity. One that I have never participated in before, and one that requires great discipline, perseverance, enthusiasm, abit of courage, and seriousness (really you can't laugh if you're doing it for the first time or you'll find yourself rolling OUT OF CONTROL!). The four-wheeled activity I speak of is,
INLINE SKATING!!!!
and I say it with such an outburst of colour because they have shelves full of skates of different colours and sizes (not to mention the smell, but don't let that discourage you! Tho half the time i found it to be in my way of concentration).
Here're a few tips if it's your first time:
1. Bring a friend along
you do not want to go alone. if you fall on your bottoms, you wanna make sure you have someone to laugh with, not you at yourself
2. Try and choose the un-smelliest skates when renting
yes, very important but low success rate so far
3. Try and feel the ground with the skates on
woozy baby. you'll prolly fall on your ass the first time. its cool if you got the protective guards on. they make falling more fun tho you wouldn't want to
4. If you're gonna fall, don't forget to pull friend!
you lose balance, you pull friend, friend loses balance, and you guys know you just look like a clown act
5. Try not to laugh
once you do, your body jiggles, the four-wheeled things jiggle along, next thing you know your ass is meeting the floor again
6. Hey, here's an idea! Why don't we use the practice rink which has leveled-flooring rather than the pathways which has unleveled-flooring!
genius! great way to start cos they got railings to hold on to. you can still fall but slowly you pick up your own pace
