There are so many ways to have fun on skates. Here are some things you may not have tried. These parks are often open to skaters. They have a variety of obstacles to play on and in. Leave your lycra at home and be sure to wear your protective gear.
Skate parks are a fun way to learn new skills in a protected environment.
Find the local hangout where the kids are doing stairs and grinding rails. I bet one of the sales staff at your local in-line shop will know where that is. After watching appreciatively, ask the best skaters for some tips and to explain some of the lingo. Then try it yourself. If you're old like me, you'll probably stay away from soul grinds, but doing stairs can be a real kick.
