FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!
And it was terrifying!
To be fair, I only fell down once, and I had the time to fall backwards rather than produce a glorious smack to my face. My major problem was the fact that I couldn't really relax and get into it, like I can do with rollarblading. I imagine it's just 'cause it was my first time doing it, so with practice I'll be like the five-year-olds wizzing by.
Which is also a hazard, I might add. Lots of kids would swing in front of me, probably under the assumption "oh, she'll get out of my way if something happens". Yeah no.
Though one of the cutest things ever is watching adults try and teach really little kids how to skate. The poor things are like baby giraffes.
