Inline Skates

Hubby found his long lost hobby, skating, this week. We spent in total, almost RM1.5k buying inline skates for everyone, including me. But, of course, the kids punya inline skates are made in China, not a high end rollerblade like mine or hubby's. Since the kids tak penah skate before, we had to buy skates for beginner. Initially, aku nak order from Amazon.com, tapi shipment pulak mahal. Beli je la kat Giant, about RM80 per pair.

Hubby bought his online, not on amazon.com but somewhere else. The shipping cost was US$125! Mahal giler! The cost was 1/2 of the total purchase price. Hubby bought a pair of skates for him, then a helmet for both of us, knee pads, wrist pads and elbow pads including a bag. The total purchased price was US$250. Kalau beli kat malaysia, hubby's skates alone will cost somewhere around RM2000-RM3000 tak termasuk helmet and the other accessories. Memang nangis la kalau beli barang kat msia.

Isnt she pretty? hehe... oh ya! how much does mine cost? less than RM400 coz we bought a marked down pairs. The original price was RM1200+. We bought this at Taman Tun K2 inline skate store.

Today, for the first time, after so many years, aku skate and frankly, I sucked big time! I can glide, but I cant stop. Dah ler using high end skates, it was too smooth for an amateur like me. Nasib baik ler aku cuma jatuh macam nangka busuk once je. Iman and Iffah jatuh many many times. I'm glad that hubby bought the protective gear for them. Next time, kalau ada sesapa nampak seorang makcik montel tengah skate (aku la tu), buat2 tak nampak la ye. hehe..

    Those were the days when my son skates. I selalu aje risau everytime he skates even though he wore protective gear. I takut dia patah riuk bila dia mula berani skate atas ramp buatan sendiri.

    Bila skate board make an appearance, dia beralih arah ke skate board pulak. Haishh ..

    CS,

    fuh! caya la.. naik ramp buatan sendiri? so far my kids and I memang skate for leisure. err.. bukan leisure pun, rasa mcm menyiksa diri je sebab asyik jatuh. tadi pegi lake garden, berapa kali jatuh tersembam. nak nangis pun ada.

    i think between inline skate and skate board, skate board is better. bila tengok young kids main skate board, i wonder, how come i tak skillful mcm dia org. maybe sebab i'm too heavy, tak agile.. hehe..
