The community fundraiser returned to Skate City again and it
was quite the adventure. I can’t roller
skate. I managed to stay up most of the
time and had my full assortment of pads (knees, elbows, wrist) to protect the
two spills I did take. My wife skates
well. For the girls it was the second
time on skates and this year was not much better than last year.
We started with regular skates and a walker style aid for
the younger one. That was going OK, but
they were just having a horrible time.
We then switched over to training skates (which slip over your
shoes). The wheels have some inherent
braking, so the girls were staying upright, but not really getting much of a
glide.
Skate City does have regular learn to skate programs and I
think that may be a fun Saturday morning activity now that gymnastics is
winding down.
