My new obsession. Roller Boots! I have vague memories of being quite good at it when I was wee. I could navigate twists and turns, jump off and on kerbs and successfully stop without injury. However, at 8 years old, YOU HAVE NO FEAR! Will I be able to make my dreams of gleefully skating along the newly refurbished Clydeside, all the way from my new office into town on a sunny summer afternoon, come true?
These are the babies I'm after (above). Rio Retro Roller Skates. How snazzy will I look gliding along the riverside in a pair of these?? They are just the same as the ones I remember (below).
This is the coolest post, for the coolest way to travel. Cannot wait to see you skating along in your new boots. I love this. I watched Boogie Nights several times just because of 'Roller girl'. Aviemore used to have a roller skating ring- many happy childhood memories!! Long live the skate!
I was actually reminiscing about my old roller boots last night! They were white with red wheels and a rainbow on the side, and had been owned by at least 2 cousins before I got my hands on them. The lack of smooth ground anywhere near my home was a bit of a hindrance though... You should def get a pair to make your journey to work more exciting!

Do any of you skate? Any tips??
How fun. I don't skate anymore. Too cold for that at the moment. But how exciting.
