I did just this morning order a set of cheap pads, just to get me over the hump, but I can see where after a while, you'd be okay with ditching them. I've got a while before I get to that point. <BR/><BR/>It was almost as bad as my first ever ice skate, which was terrifying. Especially when i got to my first intersection and stuck my foot out in front of me to slow myself, like I do on the ice, and nearly went ass over tea kettle. <BR/><BR/>Bolts! Wow. Those skates must have weighed 10 lbs each. :)Ms. Conducthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06998363658537935772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705820500334920463.post-28441374779000255002008-09-02T10:40:00.000-05:002008-09-02T10:40:00.000-05:00Alright... try this...Which ever foot you consider...Alright... try this...<BR/><BR/>Which ever foot you consider your "strong foot," much like being left handed or right handed, everyone has a stronger leg and foot as well.<BR/><BR/>Which ever one is your strong leg and foot, drag that foot to slow down and stop. Just drag the wheels sideways along the ground. <BR/><BR/>It works, trust me. I've been using inlines since they came out. Original pair literally had bolts as the axles. Plain old, hardware store, find them everywhere bolts.<BR/><BR/>Drag your foot. If all else fails, tuck and roll. :-)<BR/><BR/>As for the padding, once you get it down, the padding just makes you feel silly.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.BReynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10999914749902756848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705820500334920463.post-55018366662583682062008-09-01T17:02:00.000-05:002008-09-01T17:02:00.000-05:00It sounds like a fun idea, but I don't know if I'd...It sounds like a fun idea, but I don't know if I'd let SLED dogs do the pulling.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08031186865983731569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705820500334920463.post-66734229666480617142008-09-01T10:54:00.000-05:002008-09-01T10:54:00.000-05:00I'd just go ahead and call 911 before I put my ska...I'd just go ahead and call 911 before I put my skates on if I planned to let my 100 lb dog pull me on my skates.
