I hear ya on the “feet were on fire” comment. I’m always surprised how sore I am after rollerblading, ice skating, or snowboarding when I haven’t done any of them for awhile. I swear those three sports use foot and leg muscles no other sports do.
I’ve felt the “fire feet” too when riding a skateboard, particularly when pumping (or what I can attempt of pumping). I’ve never done skiing or snowboarding but I imagine it all boils down to the same thing - feet tensing up/toes curling while one maintains their balance.

Yep I forgot skateboarding too! Hmmm I wonder if I can still do a kickflip or if I’d fall and injure myself…it’s been so long.

My nephews are trying to learn to skateboard so I thought I would show them some tricks. How to ollie and do a pop shove it, they are just starting out. I havent skated since I was probably 16 and Im 31 now. I felt it in my legs the day after lol. Think I’ll stick to yoyo tricks. @rumstove

Rollerblading is such an awesome activity! My two older brothers and I are decent at rollerblading and my dad’s school (he is the Headmaster) usually hosts and end of the year skating party but didn’t this year because of Covid. My brothers and I really love doing it and trying to get in front of each other lol. Totally get the “fire were on fire” thing, my feet are usually really sore after doing it.

I used to blade a ton as a kid…laps around the block with the neighborhood friends, elementary school skate nights at the local roller rink…It’s really too bad rollerblading/rollerskating is quite a niche hobby (much like yoyoing) these days…in the 90s, rollerblades were the rage.
My friend recently obtained a pair of rollerblades as well, though we haven’t gotten to skate together yet, we are both keeping each other updated on our aches and pains as we get adjusted

Recovering from a wipeout today, a hard lesson learned too…I always skated without the helmet, thinking that “I’m careful enough” until today when I hit some form of crack, shot forward…trying to regain my balance, I shot out backward and hit the street on my back flat as a pancake…with my head also making contact…Initially I thought that “oh cool, I saved myself!” but then realized I can’t cheat gravity, and gravity still decided that I was not done falling.
Now looking at a decent helmet as I do want to get back to skating once this soreness wears off. I’m ok, was a little loopy after the initial impact and initially struggled to remember what even happened as I walked back home.
I guess now I’m going to mess with my Pop Art, learned 1 5.0A trick today

Thank you!
@NitroBobby916 and @Grendel, the two of you appear to be dangerously fun.
I like it.
My brother is a Marine, I’m sure he’ll appreciate the value of the challenge coins.

My demon sleeps within. I’m sure yours is resting too.
You know - it’s like riding a bike. One that others won’t dare you to flaunt your skills on.

Very nice!!
I baby sat some little kids and taught them how to yoyo! One little girl was so sad to see me leave because she wanted to keep yo-yoing. Made my heart sing
