Tackling Rollerblading
 |
| The boys in their rollerblades |
Last weekend Doggy boy wanted to join his elder brother in rollerblading. He hasn’t gone for any lessons yet as we are still searching for a suitable venue and class for him which doesn’t clash with our regular weekend activities.
He was initially very frightened when he first put on the roller blades. He was really wobbly and grabbed my hands tightly as he was afraid to fall down. It took him somewhile to let go while R and I were teaching him the basics of how to walk with the rollerblades on the grass. Once he has grasps the basics of moving around with the skates then we can teach him the proper way to fall and to brake.
I remember the first time I started learning inline skating a few years back. I was as edgy as he was and I think I was even more frighten then him of falling down. I still am not really that confident on going around on skates and am in two minds on whether to sell away my hardly used pair of skates or take it up again. I’m really afraid of falling and injuring myself as there won’t be anyone else to take care of the kids if I were injured.
I’m glad that Doggy boy is showing interest in rollerblading and in time to come he will be able to skate as well as his brother.
