rollerblade

Cleaned my blades last night. What a tedious job! I cleaned everything, including all the bearings. Considering the fact that my blades are less than a month old, the amount of sand and dirt is amazing.
Looks like this is going to be a regular affair if I am to continue blading so often. Not fun.

After getting that big ugly gash on my knee, I thought I had better invest in some good kneepads. Though I like blading, I like to dress in skirts and dresses too.
So, I went to the skate shop yesterday and picked out a nice set of kneepads, elbow pads and wrist guards. They were the most expensive in the store, but I figure they well worth the investment!

Sustained my first “serious” injury – a big gash on my right knee.

Junked my antique powerblades and bought myself a new pair yesterday. What a world of difference it makes! I felt more confident and in control instantly.
My next goal is to learn to brake confidently :D
