After 4 years, i got to roller blade a little today, i did some with kids from my block, and it was great.
I used to blade a lot, some years ago, i'd do up to 5 hours a day.

Anyone else ?

I used to love roller blading.  I started when all the kids in my neighborhood took up skateboarding (my own "skater" phrase).  I couldnt do that to save my life, but I absolutely loved roller blading.  Havent done it in probably close to six years, but I was recently thinking about starting up again.

I tried Skate, i wasn't very good but it was fun.
I used to hang around with boys a lot as i had no real girl friends, so i'd go and play basket ball and do boyish things..lol..

You should start again. I felt so free, i wished i still lived in Paris when i did, because it is so easy to blade anywhere there like i used to.
What stops you from doing it ?

A few years back I blew out my knee, now I can hardly run without it swelling up to the size of a watermelon.  I really want to start up again, but I'm very hesitant.

Maybe you should see a sports doctor first ?

Also, gentle regular swimming would reinforce the knee without too much effort on it and this before any roller blading ?

But see a knee specialist, if my brother had, he'd still be playing football.

I need to eventually because I'm really afraid if I don't do something, the doctors will need to operate again.
