Rollerblading
Rollerblading is a sport that has become popular in the last ten years, or at least it is in South America. This
sport consists of two skates, one helmet and hands protection. Basically, you just have to walk but then you start sliding. At the beginning you will feel that you are going to fall down but it is normal. However, you have to be careful because there are a lot of risks when doing this sport. For example you can break your leg, your arm, your hand; you can lose the memory if you hit your head hard on the ground, but you don’t have to worry about it because these kinds of things just happen once in one thousand times.
37 countries practice rollerblading such as Colombia, Venezuela,Ecuador, Argentina, Chile,Nicaragua. Germany, United States, France, Australia, Canada, Italy, Korea, England, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Switzerland and more. Rollerblading is not an Olympic sport, however it is in the process of becoming one. We really don’t know why it is not an Olympic sport, however this sport is becoming more popular every day.
Rollerblading athletes requires a lot of courage because even though this is an individual sport there is a lot of physical contact and if you are not prepare psychologically and physically to be pushed and beaten you wont produce a good performance in the race. This sport is not just about races and competitions. A lot of people like to use skates just to have fun with friends and to relax sliding for a while. Maybe this could be a way for you to do a little bit of exercise in your spare time.
