tugmoose Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I recently brokeout my inline skates after a couple years off, blew out a wheel, went to Dicks for a replacement. They don't carry inline skate stuff anymore! Did I miss a memo on this? And I'm worried about the whole situation in the Middle East, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 If Gabriel wants to rollerblade, Gabriel rollerblades! So fuck you, Mr. Osama bin-Jerkhead, or whatever your name is. Because if Gabriel doesn't rollerblade to the Chelsea Piers, the terrorists win. (Yes, you missed the memo. Hop on a bike or something.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 skateboards are still around Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tugmoose Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 So you can just declare a recreational activity "over"? Oh well, guess I'll be heading back to the pool after about 26 years. They still have "pools", right? Now, where's my speedo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 These types of things have cycles of popularity. Skateboarding seems like a good example. The nice thing about the internet is that you can find a group of dedicated enthusiasts and suppliers that will service a niche market. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spawn's dad Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 inline skating still seems like a viable exercise alternative in these parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
esel Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 seems like it still exists mainly on the west coast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 i think roller hockey is still fairly popular...so...perhaps rollerblading is still alive Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Speed Racer Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Additionally, if what I see around here is correct, inline skates do not work unless you're riding in the middle of the bike path blasting your iPod at full volume. Give that a try, wheel or not, and you should be in business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
austrya Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 The other day I saw a kid playing basketball while wearing rollerblades. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I personally miss rollerblades. I used to play rollerhockey all the time...nowadays kids just don't appreciate rollerblades. We need a resurgence Quote Link to post Share on other sites
