I Got Me Some Freeline Skates

We had early Christmas this evening with my extended family since we’re heading out of town for the weekend. Danny and Cooter (pretty much my younger brothers), to my complete suprise, bought me a pair of freeline skates. These things are INSANE. I grew up skateboarding and rollerblading, but have never experienced anything like this. They do take a considerable amount of work to learn how to use them. I’ve by no means figured them out, but am able to skate downhill a good ways. The toughest part is figuring out how to keep momentum and “pump” them to increase speed. Your feet are completely independent of each other and can go in any direction, which ain’t a good thing. I now know what I’ll be doing most of my Christmas day. I could go on and on, but check out the videos and a huge thanks to my boys.
