when i first saw a lad in some heelies i thought they looked great fun, but a few weeks later im starting to really not like them.
ive nearly been rolled into several times, as has little dd. one minute you're trying to push your way through a crowd, the next you're throwing yourself out of the way, there's no warning whatsoever!
at least if i saw a kid in rollerblades coming i would have chance to avoid.
and of course rollerblades/rollerboots/skateboards wouldn't be allowed in a shopping centre, but with these things you can't tell they're wearing them. they are a pain in the butt.
ds wants a pair, very badly. he's getting rollerblades instead, with full kit. he has no co-ordination whatsoever.
unfortunately i may well have one very disappointed little boy on my hands as im sure all his friends will be wearing them!
as a kid im sure i would have loved them though!
