Same. I don't even really notice I'm wearing them anymore. I've worn them almost the entire time I've returned to skating (5 years this summer) and now it is second nature. I'll need new ones soon, though... I've worn these out so much that the plastic shell part is starting to wear the covering thin. I'm surprised they have lasted this long, but the quality of them has proven themselves (they're 187's).

I like visiting rinks as well. I'm in northern Indiana, your in southern right? April 16th I'll be in KY. I planning on taking an extra day somewhere to visit a rink that weekend. I can't recall if you mentioned the name of your local rink. But a visit to memebers local rinks sounds awsome. We did a meet up in OH, but me being scheduling challenged, missed the main event. But I did get to meet Mort, that was cool. So, if anyone can get to southern IN or northern KY the weekend of the 16th let me know. |

You live close to area where I grew up(Michigan, Indiana, Ohio tristate area). I would skate at a Ft Wayne rink many years ago, but the closest rink was in Hillsdale Michigan(about 18 miles to the Indiana state line).
I visited Hillsdale a couple of years ago(did not have skates). Looked at the rink and it seems to be doing fairly well. Of course, a few more miles north in Jackson Michigan there are several more rinks. I don't wander too far from home in San Antonio Texas any more. But I know it is fun visiting other unfamiliar areas and discovering the rinks and associating with their skaters. Keep on keeping on! Keep rollin ![]()

So, I was taking off my skates right beside the Elvis machine, some arcade game that does random Elvis snipits, for who knows shat reason. Well there was a woman their with a young kid. I figure she was about my age so the kid was perhaps a grandson. She made a very odd comment to the young boy, "That man (referring to Elvis) is in the same place you came from." I'm wondering about this staement, when she continues "Yea, he died before I was born". Wait a minute people my age are actually more than 12 years younger than me. I am happy to report that I am much more dillusional than I though. Yea, me.

Are we delusional? Or are the ones sitting on the benches only watching their grand kids skate? A kid said to me just this Tuesday, "You skate pretty good for an old guy." Then she said "my mom is sitting over there, she said she's too old to do this anymore." I kind of hope she went over to her mom and said, NO You're NOT!

Back on the 4th of March(after using the Willow Curve for about a month), I wrote the following:
Because of the arthritis in the left foot, I had not been able to skate more than a couple of hours twice a week. I needed three or more days between skate sessions for the foot to feel better. But last night was the third session this week. I had skated the night before at the adult Rollercade session. I had also skated more than two hours at each session. The best part is: I was walking normally after the session. During most of the prior six months, I would limp away from a session. I give most of the credit for the improved situation to the Willow Curve(https://willowcurve.com?gclid=CIXD9J...FZWMaQodk5oG8w) and BC arthritis strength powder(http://www.bcpowder.com/pain-relieve...s-pain-relief/). I take the powder in an Ensure just prior to skating. Now this may not work for everybody, but it sure has benefited me. The Ensure covers the taste of the BC powder, provides essential vitamins, and protects the stomach from high levels of aspirin in the BC powder. Last week I skated four sessions and three were back to back to back. There is the occasional twinge of minor pain, but nothing like it was before. The Willow Curve may be a placebo, but it works for me. It is not an overnight cure. It takes application at least twice a day - every day. Now I can skate an entire session (up to 4 hours). If arthritis is cramping your style, the Willow Curve may help. They currently have a six month satisfaction guarantee, which allows you to return it for most of your money returned. The following is from their web chat: Returns are easy, as we honor our 180-day money back guarantee. We are serious about that guarantee and want 100% satisfaction. Your best bet is to keep your Curve for the full 6 month Trial Period and if you are not receiving the results you expected, return only paying shipping. Otherwise if returned prior to the 180 days you also need to pay 18% restocking fee. So it works for me! ![]() Keep rollin ![]()

Sorry to hear about your coworker but you are exactly right. I'm starting to feel it creep up on me. When I first got back into it five years ago, I'd just go out there. Now I do have to warm up the first few laps. In a four-hour session, I usually devote the first half-hour or so to warming up and loosening up and getting into the rhythm of things. The next 1½ hours or so I alternate between doing medium speed laps with a few fast laps (when they play a good song). I'll take a break or two during this period. The last hour or so is when I've finally really loosened up and I'll go faster during this time - most of the younger kids have left, and the floor opens up a bit.
Anyway... my point being that I intend to take advantage of it while I can, for as long as I can. |

Exactly, the pain reminds me of the fun and today is all we have. My Dad was a marathon runner and biked 50 miles on the weekends. Then a car crash into his bicycle. Got rods in his hip. He's still ok at 73 but can't go like he could at 65 before the crash. I still plan on skating as long as I can. Even when I'm slower and can't jump. It's still super fun. It's as much attitude as anything else. |

^ This. I had a talk with the manager and told him that I hoped to still be skating in 20+ years, even if by then I was just out there doing easy laps. I don't jump now, but I still want to be able to go forwards, backwards, couples, etc. Doing the shuffle/getting through packs now while I can because I suspect when I'm older that won't come to me as easily, if at all.

I think I'm off rink skating and will just work on my outdoor skills. I've determined cars and hills and the inability to stop are less dangerous than skating with kids who are so awful they look like they're having an epileptic fit on wheels (im not mocking anyone here.)I feared for my safety the whole time. That's just not fun.

I haven't skated with kids in a rink since I was a teenager too young to get into adult nights. Terrifying.
