I haven't done that since I was little kid. It was awesome! Seriously, if you haven't been since you were little, hire some this weekend! I spent an hour and a half speeding around the water front, parks and the museum carpark and I only fell on my arse once. About 20 minutes in I zoomed around a corner into a dead end and realised I couldn't remember how to stop... *flails helplessly, splat*.
Ok... I fell on my front once too. I turned down the rest of the padding, but I'm so glad I accepted the wrist guards It was near the end and I was very tired... I found myself absentmindedly zooming toward some steep stairs. Again, *flail* then dive... My wrists took most of it, but I have a lovely scrape on my belly where my shirt rode up a bit. It will match the scrapes (through my jeans, thankfully) and huge bruise that will develop on my butt. (note to self... "zoom" and "absentmindedly" should never be in the same sentence). That time I was completely winded, and I sat in the middle of the path trying to breath and checking my mp3 player (it seems to be fine). Oh, and can you get a concussion with out actually banging your head? I'm a tad worried.
I glad that I got into it so fast though... if I had been a cautious rail clutcher, I wouldn't remember the feel if speeding along the waterfront with the wind in my hair I feel like I'm 9 again.
