I just almost died

I was on rollerblades (hockey roolerbldaes which I bought today) and going down a really steep hill. when I say steep this thing is scary to drive down let alone rollerblade down. so im going down the hill im all tucked in and I get to at least 50 (not sure just gestimating). I get to a flat part and im still going really fast
and since I have about 200 feet to slow down I get out of my tuck. as I get out of my tuck wind resistance hits the right side of my body my right leg goes up in the air and I start to wobble cause Im losing balance.

luckily I was able to slam my right foot back down on the ground regain balance and stop in time.

that was amazingly scary. all I could think about was how if I hit the pavement I would just die

That is insane, do you use the heel piece stopper to stop when going that fast? I'm a total rollerblade noob.

People, in this thread, saying "Rollerblading is gay" are pretty fucking retarded. He said hockey skates. That has nothing to do with rollerblading as a sport. It has everything to do with hockey. So... yeah. Just wanted to point out you're all morons who can't read. Have a nice day
