My love of the idea of skating grew

after I checked out these videos. Had no idea it could be such fun and so versatile. I really hope I master some basic moves soon. God bless the internet - so many instructional videos on there for free :-) like this one http://www.rollergirl.ca/media/movies/misc/learn-to-roller-skate.wmv

Anyone in Bournemouth/Bracknell can join me - just go to the skateshop in Poole on the big roundabout with the municipal buildings and Police station. Yay!!!!

The videos - note you may need various things like QuickTime to view these (last few inc cat fight) and Broadband for sure:
