Rollerblading Culture

Rollerblading Culture

What's culture? In my opinion I think culture is a set of rules or beliefs that one must obey or learn. Everyone has at least one culture or subculture that they're apart of. I'm part of many cultures, but the one I'm going to blog to you today is about the rollerblading culture. It also can be called inline skating, but I usually call it rollerblading. I'm in love with the rollerblading culture. I came apart of it in fourth grade. It's a fun hobby to do and also a good work out for your calves. You learn all new types of tricks to do in the roller rink or outside. It's not really all that athletic which some people think, you actually have fun skating and doing tricks. You can wear a helmet,  shoulder pads, knee pads or any other safety item you need to be safe. Unlike me and the others who are used to rollerblading, don't wear all that. Some only rollerblade in the rink and some do it outside at skate parks, the streets, pathways and sidewalks. Sometimes, there's different groups depending on the level of how good of a rollerblade person you are. Plus, you make some good friends in this culture and meet new people. There might be a few people who think they are better inline skaters than you and your friends, but who cares. It's just a fun activity to do with friends, family, siblings and etc. One thing we all have in common is the passion we have for rollerblading. It's like we form a bond for life with our rollerskates. They're apart of us. What we wear most of the time, it kind of identical to what skateboarders wear. We usually wear skinny jeans or shorts and a t-shirt or hoodie. Most rollerbladers are really not into the fashion sense, and just usually wear what we feel like wearing. We mostly wear skinny jeans or pants or leggings, because it's easier to rollerbalde in and fit much better. Some still wear jeans that cover their rollerblades, it's whatever makes you comfortable to skate. When it comes to music, we listen to any type of music. It doesn't matter what music you listen to, as long as you can feel the energy and skate to it. Rollerblading culture is really fun and everyone is always welcome to join us.
