BOTH!

I played hockey for 11 yrs when I was younger, was a base for alot I did in the future with skiing.  I get on the ice a few times a year now but rollerblade often.  I went down to Providence College's arena one night to skate with the senior mens league thinking this was all guys with jobs that like good exercise and a good game but it wasn't like that at all.  It was a melee on the little guy,lol.  ME.  

I got very adept at lowering myself to an oncoming hit, sending the attacker head over heels.  This ended in an all out brawl in the parking lot later.  So much for good clean fun exercise.  I havn't put the pads on since.

Senko77 also skates.  He currently plays and made states or all-stars or somthing recently.

I've skated my whole life and I'm 28 right now.  I'm currently an assistant coach for my high school team.  So I'm on the ice every single day practicing.  I use to do the senior men's stuff but there are too many darn fights in those leagues.  Those old farts, 30+  ;D, take that stuff way to seriously, they must think they are in high school still or relive the glory days.

I thought about lacing 'em up yesterday, but the lake wasn't quite frozen yet.  I do roller blades, too, for hockey only now.  I used to take 'em into my buddy's half pipe when we were in school, but I know I'll hurt myself WAY too badly to even think about it now...

I don't skate, but a buddy of mine does.  His name is Kerry Getz.  He's a member of my Porsche group.  Good guy and he has skills!

I used to skateboard too but gave on it because it's too painful to get better. I got tired of busting up my shins and getting gashes all over my legs. I didn't get very far. An ollie, kickflip, and pop shove-it were the only tricks I was ever able to land. Oh yeah, dropping in on a ramp for the first time got me pretty banged up too (I ended up sliding off the ramp and down the pavement for a good eight feet that got me all cut up). It was my friend's homemade ramp and it was set up in the road.

Three broken arms, mild concussion, cracked rib, trashed ankle..... you get the picture.  I still have 2 snowboards and skateboard sitting ten feet from my poles.  Started when I was 15... I'll be 34 in April. ;D

I might grow up someday.

please don't mind the music. My friend edited this for me. :-[

I'm guessing that is you in the video...my question is... How often do you inline tricksters have to replace your tuuks? I think they are called the same in inline skates.

Hey Cabela, Yeah that is me. What in the world are tuuks? If you tell me what they are I'll let you know. I get a new pair of skates once a year, and change frames once every 6 months determining how much I skate. Wheels are hit or miss, sometimes it will be 8 months, others a week.

Don't skate, but long time ago my oldest daughter went out a couple of times with some BMX bike kid named Tony Hawk that she met at Camp Woodward.  I understand he went on to skateboards or something like that after his BMX days.
