*Finally* my blades arrived today. Now, I haven't bladed since I was about 12 and I wasn't exactly good at it then. I mean, I can balance, still...just. But I have trouble stopping at speed, or even maintaining speed in a straight line hehe

But practice makes perfect, so I was skating around the driveway a bit to improve my basic techniques, and of course, I stacked it. Now my elbow is all sore. I don't remember it hurting this much when I was younger...it's great though hehe. I WILL persist, and move on from being a gumbie blader!!! :)
