Roller Blades vs Roller Skates

<< < (2/5) > >>

shardian:
Me and the wife were just reminiscing about the roller rinks we went to as kids/teens. I figure that the one we went to is closed, but I'll have to check on it now.

I think I still have my hockey skates around here somewhere.....

I played in a league like that... played in one where only certain wheel types were allowed and even didn't allow metal hardware on the blade frame.

Maybe it was that movie "Roll Bounce" a couple years ago?  [or maybe the movie was made in response to skating having already made a comeback...]

Then I blew my hamstring and thus ended my hockey career  :banghead:

If you consider a complete hamstring avulsion a minor "rub some dirt in it" kind of injury, then sure I'm a wimp.  but the next time your hamstring bundle completely detaches from your pelvic bone, give me a call so I can come over and laugh at you.
