Hope all is well for everyone who reads this. anyways today im gonna talk bout my new possession: a pair of boots, a pair of nice blue light coloured blades aka rollerblades aka slalom blades aka seba micro FR1 freestyle blades. don't be askin the price because i would not reveal it ha. all along i have been wanting to be losing weight and at the same time enjoy my exercise. i loved to jog (i cant really run so ill use the word jog for now) but that died down, i guess i got lazy after all. so i turned into this. blading. ill attach a picture so many more of you readers can fall in love too haha..
So far i have been blading for 2 days alone and i have learnt well to go straight haha! Ok ok i'm no whiz when it comes to wheels so im learning slowly how to stop because i always freak out when i go fast but duno how to stop haha. everyone wants a thrill right? and speed is the thrill for blades too so the T brake is the most basic break.
T-brake- as you are moving forward and wantin to come to a stop, u focus your weight on one side of your leg be it left or right and naturally you will swing the other leg back to form a T shape (the back boot using its wheels to slow you down).
Problem: I tend to turn when i want to t brake, my friend boi says that its because i still hold my weight in the centre that is why i tend to turn. hmmm so i need more practice. wish me luck ppl..
I fell 3 times that first day and till now i still hurt despite wearing knee pads and wrist guards, i took 3 falls because i was out of balance, fell twice on my knees and hands and the last on my thigh which still hurts till now.
Notice: when you blade, pls pls dun carry anything with you.. u may break it while falling or wreck it and too late ha..
The second day is somewhere nearer to Vista point where the court is open and made of cement new but v dusty n dirty with many small stones and chips on the ground. managed to get gay n his girl to try their blades for the first time. they fell like 3-4 times but i can see improvement. Gay can do the t brake already so i can see he is getting the hang of it. his girl hmmm she is improving slowly just like me haha but i can see all of us are having fun in the process of learning.
i really hope this can help me reach my goal and at the same time i improve over time. so that i can blade from place to place. so fun so many possibilities wa....!
Wish me luck people and pray for me yeah?
God bless
