I have decided that I want to learn how to rollerblade and since I have lost 80 pounds I am going to give it a try. Tonight after work I am going to go and buy a pair, does anyone have any reccomendations as to where to go or what brand to buy. I work in Eden Prairie and live in St. Louis Park so anything in the south or west metro would be prefferable. I also plan on getting out and using them tonight! I am planning for a nice stroll around Lake Calhoun. Hope everyone gets a chance to go enjoy this beautiful weather!

I think there is one in Richfield, I will have to check out their website. I am not sure about Gander Mountain I think they are more camping, hiking, hunting stuff, but I could be wrong. I will definitely let you all know how things go tonight.

I don't know which brands are the best to buy. Other than the lakes I'm not sure of a lot of good places to go, but I think I have a pair of roller blades that still fit me so if you ever want a roller blading buddy let me know.

Thanks! I will keep you in mind for a bladding buddy! I am looking forward to getting to know Lake Harriet a little better after I move.

How fun! My blades have been hanging in the garage for years, maybe after surgery I will take them out and strap them on! Enjoy the lakes, you will have a blast!

Hey Nikki good for you!

In Eden Prairie there is a sport Authority kiddy corner from the mall in the new strip mall area and I saw rollerblades there. Good Luck, it looks like rain tonight.
