Life is roller skating. I just recently got a pair of roller skates and they're so much fun. I can't stop skating even though I fall a lot. I've heard a lot of people saying that when you learn to skate you are gonna fall no matter what and that it's part of the learning process. As of now, I've fell about a hundred and two times already and I get up every time and just continue even if it hurts. I just can't stop. It's so much fun. I don't even wear knee pads or elbow pads even though it is necessary to keep you safe. I wear a helmet though. I just wish there was a near park where I can always go to and skate because my place here is very slopey and there are many cracks and stones on the ground. I'm sure that's not good for a beginner. Anyway, roller skating is my life. It's the funnest thing I've learned to do so far. Booya, to roller skating. To all the roller skaters or roller bladers, cheers! More power to us!

Hi Olonam,
I've heard of "life is a roller coaster" but never heard of "life is roller skating". Anyway whatever turns you on. Since you are a beginner I think it is prudent that you put on guards/pads or even a helmet when you learn to skate. I've seen some really serious injuries that some beginners get from skating. Better be safe than sorry. Have a nice day.

Why you! I'm just kidding. I have knee pads and I said I wear a helmet. I think it's safe to wear them especially because where I skate is cement and there are stones and all that. Yeah, I can get seriously injured. Maybe I'll wear those knee pads now. Thank.

When i was in high school roller skiating events were often one of the school rewards. some people were just so good at roller skating that it seemed they were born with roller skates on. I was not very good at roller skiating. i just could not get the movement right. I spent more time just trying to stand up than actuallu skating. I just could not get the knack.
