Roller Blading D-1
Spotted: Miss B trying out a new hobby.
Miss B today woke up bright and early at 8 am to have a productive day. The previous night Miss B suddenly really got inspired to start roller blading. It's been a long-term interests of Miss B, but she never pulled the trigger due to a variety of reasons resulting from living in one of the busiest cities in the world: lack of classes, unclear on where to buy roller blade shoes as it is best to try them in the store to get them fitted, and no smooth pavement and open space readily available.
Miss B went to a school's playground after buying a pair of skate blades, protective gears for body, and a helmet. Initially Miss B just sat on the ground for 20 minutes watching a beginner video on how to stand, how to go back into sitting position, and how to fall (which was so scary). Miss B stood up and was like how can anyone stand on these thin wheels. Miss B quickly sat back down, and doubled checked the next steps which were to move by making a V shape and doing circle motions. So the second time Miss B stood up — a moment of epiphany — as she slowly slid across the playground, Miss B instinctively make a V shape and turned it into an A circle, where she started being able to push forward.
Rest of the session was history. Miss B was able to start gliding and practicing how to move across the playground — even managing to sneak in a recording on her phone. Miss B fell once towards the end of the session, but surprisingly the fall didn't hurt at all as the protective gear on her knee and wrist took the brunt of it. That definitely helped out with the scares the following day, but for today at least Miss B took it as a sign to go home due to body fatigue (body felt broken apart the next morning). Literally best day and Miss B is wondering why she took so long to try out this sport. Latest new obsession for sure!!!
