Roller skating divas...

So I have this friend who is (or was) a bit of a roller skating diva. In 1996, she was 3rd place in the National Roller Figure Skating Championship. I didn't realize roller skating had an equivalent to figure skating on ice, and she used to do all the crazy jumps and spins and stuff. Anyway, now she has 15-month old triplets and it's been 10-years since she's done much skating. Until... last night. Yup, we met up and got our groove on. Roller skating was interesting for me, because I did a ton of inline skating at UBC, but inline skates have a hard shoe and the brakes are on the back. As long as I was going straight... I was fine. I did fall once during my lame attempt at skating backwards, but I held my own and it was great exercise. Something tells me there will be more skating in my future!
