Soph went and got her Salomon blades on Sunday and so we decided to go blading again yesterday. Soph went down with Jiabin and I showed Shanli the way.

The rental blades at ECP are so much better than the ones at Pasir Ris, and cheaper some more. Only drawback is that the socks are rented, not given! Ok they’re washed and Jiabin verified by smelling.

Still can’t get the rhythm of the motion so can’t really move that well yet. And Soph with her new blades can move very fast with just one push. Grr.. I wanna get my own too.

Ironically our “instructors” ended up falling most of the time. Ok mainly the one who borrowed his sister’s blades and kept tripping up on them. Think Jiabin didn’t really fall cos his mass was large enough so enough inertia to damp movements.

Well it’s been getting a little more fun but it’s still kinda kek to see other people wizzing by, and being overtaken by kids on bicycles with training wheels. And mountain bikes don’t belong on the road, they belong off it! But the worst part of yesterday was blading all the way to one end of ECP and then getting a blister.

Blister on the side making it very uncomfortable to blade

I think I got Shanli to tighten my blades a little too tight cos they felt like they were slipping around after some time. Then moments later kenna a blister on the side. Had a hard time getting back cos I lost balance every time I subconsciously try to compensate for the pain by shifting my foot around. But I didn’t fall once. Ha!

Maybe next time I’ll try one size smaller. Don’t think they have a 9 half so it’s either 9 or 10. Or I’ll just go get my own. Or someone can get them for me.

Remember 9 half hor.
