Yesterday it was a really nice day out! Yesterday I went to a nearby park to enjoy looking at the cherry blossoms and also enjoyed roller blading in the park. During the winter, it's too cold to rollerblade. But I enjoy rollerblading as one of my hobby sports during spring to fall seasons. And yesterday, I rollerbladed for the first time this year. I have been rollerblading for about 10 years now. I first learned to rollerskate at age 5 and then learned to figure skate at age 6. So it wasn't too hard for me to learn how to rollerblade. But at first, I had a little bit of a hard time with the breaks. Rollerskates and ice skates, you stop with your toes. But rollerblades, you must stop with your heels. And I must not forget to put on my supporters(on my knees, arms and hands) and it makes me look like a robocop(it really doesn't look too good!). But this is necessary, in case I fall, it will help me not to get hurt too badly. What's different from old rollerblade shoes to rollerblade shoes nowadays is that, I can take on/off my blades if I want to stop by at a convinience shop. It just looks like one wearing a big pair of sneakers. When I skate through the park, it makes me feel very free and I enjoy it alot. It makes me forget about all the stresses,too! Although mid summer is too hot to skate around, I think I can enjoy it every weekend throughout this season.
