If i had a daughter, i would definatly have encouraged her to pick a skating sport.
You get that "free" feeling :)
My brother had those hockey skates for speed skating, ive never tried that, but wooooo that must be fun.
A friend of mine went with us one day, she fell, and another skater rode over her hand, that was not a pretty sight. :eek:
