<wistful sigh> I miss my playing days. Do you think I could post a WTB on FS/FT for a new knee?

Just inline/roller. I've always wanted to learn how to ice skate but have never done it.

Find a good rink and it's all downhill from there, especially if you've some previous experience.

I started rollerblading before ice skating...but since I'm from The State of Hockey :)D) I eventually picked up on how to ice skate.

Just got done rollerblading as a matter of fact. Bladed about 1.5 miles and I feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack. Didn't help that the wind was in my face to start off, but I'm sooooo out of shape. A couple years ago I could blade for miles without having to catch my breath :(

Both. I grew up ice skating. With the recent boon in outdoor skating rinks here in SoCal, I have switched over to inline hockey. Costs less, free rink time, and plenty of adult teams to play with. I personally prefer the outdoor rinks as opposed to the indoor; outdoor inline the rules are the same as with ice hockey -vs- indoor no offsides rule and icing is ok.

:)

Both. I played ice hockey and roller hockey growing up.

I am not GREAT, but I can do both. :D

since we're on blading, what do you guys think of the Rollerblade Aero 9s? I'm thinking of picking up a pair.

Geez, now that you mentioned it, it's time to take the dogs for a walk. I think I'll finally attempt to take 3 big dogs while rollerblading.

(Or rather, they take me)

I can barely do both (I don't know how to stop besides falling down/runnning into something :p).
