Hi! Lately I've picked up the hobby of roller blading. Do you like to skate?
I do not, but my spouse loves it. I will throw on a pair when my spouse wants to roller blade or inline skate in the park.
That's a fun activity to share with your spouse
It is great for my spouse in that inline skates allow you to go faster than traditional skates. For me, it means I just hit obstacles that much harder.
Can skating be dangerous? What type of protective gear do you recommend?
The sport-specific gear I wear for safety reasons while inline skating includes knee pads and helmets. Most people do not need such gear, but I am a bit clumsy.
Thanks for the tip. I should find myself a good pair of knee pads
They can definitely come in handy even in other sports such as basketball or cycling. I also use them while I garden to give my knees some protection on the ground.
