as and from tuesday I will be posting updates of me learning (and possibly failing) to rollerblade. I have all the gear , rollerblades , wrist protectors , knee pads and elbow pads . I told someone over the weekend that I had shoulder pads aswell , but sadly that is but a myth.

the other day i went to the olympic park here in munich and skated with a friend who showed me how to skate aswell as fall. In the end I only fell 3 times, and once was pretty bad , I was going down a hill and forgot how to use that all important brake feature. I must say gliding on the skates is a whole lot of fun. You just have to have a little confidence and learn how to balance on the skates with one leg. I think I was walking like a chicken after the hour or so of skating :square:

Training sessions will be resuming shortly. Only problem is that it is hard to find a proper surface anywhere in Cork. I might stick to the back garden for the time being anyway. :umm:

The end of September I will be back on the blades. There is a thing here in munich called Blade Night (http://www.muenchner-blade-night.de/), inspired by the famous one that happens every Sunday morning in Paris. I am to be hitting blade night with a bang at some stage !
