I love #rollerblading – I've been doing it since 1991 – and although it's a little more challenging these days to duck out for a skate, I still try to take every chance I get. Here's a video of a skate I had with an old mate at a local park (Bracken Ridge) the other day. https://youtube.com/shorts/JTIrzMBNR_Y?feature=share
