Hi Ladys, when you say "shoot the duck" i remember as a kid we played a roller skating game at the rink called shoot the duck, sorta like sitting down with 1 foot underneath your tush and the other leg extended out, a friend would push me around the rink and either try to knock others down. do you remember that game ?

I haven’t been able to shoot the duck since I was a little kid. My butt’s too big, the center of gravity is all wrong. I can jump and spin though, but not that well. I only know one jump — a toe loop which I do all sloppy ‘cuz I land on 2 feet instead of 1. And I can only spin on 2 feet, not one. I’m totally jealous of the girls who can do those amazing one-footed spins. And shoot the duck. :-)

I got a blister on my heel last night!! So I guess I overdid it and need to wait a few days for it to get over itself. I should’ve known it would all come down to my poor feet!!

Cool! It’s such good exercise. I went a couple years ago after not having been for ages and was worn out! My favorite thing about skating was Shoot the Duck. I could hold my own at that, even though I didn’t have skate leotards for my wheels or lessons. And I was super jealous of the girls that could do the spinning and jumps. I focused that energy into air hockey instead. So glad for my air hockey skillz now though, they’ve really helped me in my life ;)

I’ll tell you privately, and I’ll also tell you why I’m telling you privately, privately. :-)
