Stay Inline!

If you are an roller skating nut, then this is your lucky weekend! Philly Free Skate will be going on all weekend and it’s free, in case you didn’t catch that part.

According to their website, this is for intermediate and expert skaters, which more or less leaves me out because I haven’t roller skated in a dog’s age and so probably suck at it.  Although, there was a time I was a master on wheels, skating backwards to “Funkytown” like a regular Dorthy Hamill.  But alas, those days are long gone.

Anyhow, these events are bring-your-own-skates, which once again, leaves me out since I don’t have any.  But, see how nice I am to write about such a fun event even though I myself can’t go? I am completely unselfish like that sometimes.

But, between you and me, I think the reason they are claiming you need to be an intermediate or expert skater has nothing to do with the cobblestones, hills, curbs or length of the tours.  I think it has more to do with the bar stops along the way! Can you pop a few back and STILL skate over cobblestones is more like the question!

Check the Philly Free Skate website for schedule times and other relevant information. 

Have fun without me.
