I used to love to roller skate as a kid and roller bladed quite a bit as a teenager. I was not very coordinated and hurt myself pretty bad at least once---BUT, I don't remember it being so incredibly hard to learn the first time. We took the boys to Skateland with Dusty and Sally a few weeks ago, and it was so ridiculous. Jeremy sat out with Crew, which if you know Crew, was a full time job. Neither Jackson or Riggs has ever skated, but I really thought they'd catch on quick. Boy was I wrong. By the time we were done I felt like I'd done the hardest bicep workout of my life. Riggs never made it around the rink once, and I held Jackson's hand the whole time, not just to give him balance, but to literally hold up all 40 something pounds of him, since his feet were slipping out from under him at lest once every 5 seconds. WOW! Jackson's been asking to go back ever since, but it'll be awhile before I can gear up to that again.
