Rollarblading with Okee, the Siberian Husky

So,  you want to rollarblade with your Siberian Husky too? Or you are considering getting a Siberian Husky and are looking for pros for getting one,  eh?

You came to the right place ;)

Minimum Requirement to Rollarblade with a Siberian Husky:

- You already know how to rollarblade
- You know your Siberian Husky's habits

How to know you know how to rollarblade or that you know your Husky?

You know when you know.   If you don't know,  be prepared to fall as soon as you leave the house.

All jokes aside,  it's important that you know how to rollarblade so that you don't end up hurting yourself,  someone else or your precious Siberian Husky.

Your rollarblade should be well fitted and not broken.  You should be able to look at where you and your Husky are going.

Okee surprised me in our first Rollarblade trip together.   I was scared because she was going so fast.  You pull her closer and you end up going faster.  I was scared on a slight uphill so you can imagine why I skipped the downhills.  I think Okee was happy that the dead weight (me) was so light.   She was finally able to run to her true potential!

It's nice to rollarblade with her once in a while because when we get home she smiles more and breaths louder.  Okee enjoys a good run.   The trip is faster too. Less smelling of the trees and other obstacles.

If you are just starting out,  I would suggest rollarblading with one rollarblade first,  it might be easier.  A sturdy umbrella would also be helpful.  You can use it as a stick or open it to slow you and your Husky(s) down.   The sturdy umbrella will also help you with balance. You can even have the umbrella open the whole time.

Those are all the helpful tips I can provide.

Continue reading only if you want to read about how I trained as a rollarbladder

Step 1: Buy a used oversize rollarbladde (maybe 3 sizes bigger than your shoe size) that does not fit you at all and the wheels hardly rolls

Step 2: Rollarblade with them whenever you want

Step 3: Rollarblade with a friend and receive at least one helpful advice about tightening your Rollarblade

Step 4: Attend how to skate class (not how to rollarblade) and learn extra techniques

Step 5: Stop rollarblading and donate that used used pair

Step 6: Do a lot of other random trainings that you find interesting

Step 7:  Many years later, examines are pair of brand new state of the art rollarblade that have been sitting on the shelve for the longest time.   Put them on for the first time ever and they fit almost perfectly.

Step 8:  Delighted by this new discovery,  rollarblade with them to the train station each day.  That's close to 30 minutes of practice each day.

Anyways the terrain of my route to the train station was tough but fun,  I never managed to conquer one segment of it.  When I fall, I have to continue on because I can't miss the train ride to work.   No time to practice.

I am scared of falling but I love rollatbladding so I wear layers.   Be prepared to fall!
