It's good to hear from some skaters on here. I didn't learn to ride a bike until last year (at 19 years old), so I grew up inline skating--nothing serious, just for recreation. I bought a cheap pair of Rollerblades from Goodwill a few months ago, and rolling evokes a certain feeling in me, like I'm sure biking does for those people who grew up riding bikes.

And, actually, I'm still debating which sport to pursue more seriously (in the form of monetary investment and time). In case you can't tell, I'm the kind of person that likes to research and think about anything I'm about to try--for better or worse.
