Rollin' rollin' roll-oops!

I am no athlete, by any stretch of the imagination, so when I don my rollerblades (very rarely, but that is neither here nor there) I have no style or grace.

As I skate along, I often gain a bit more speed than I intended... I imagine I'm leaning too far forward. Once past a certain speed, I have no clue how to stop so I use two tactics:

1) fall in a planned and non-injuring way
2) grab on to something until stable again

And apparently it's almost identical to learning to walk/run... except it's WAY cuter to watch in a baby :) And the determination and enthusiasm is unmatched.
