Living in New York City can be very exciting. It can also be very tiring and expensive. If you live in New York, you often have to walk a lot. If you don’t like to walk, you can always take the subway or the bus. When I lived in the city for two years, I got my son a skater bud so he wouldn’t complain about all the walking we had to do.
A skater bud is a set of wheels which you can attach to a child’s sneakers. This is sort of a cross between the roller skates back in the 70s and the roller blades of the 90s. Roller skates were bulky and heavy; they were strapped on the bottom of sneakers. Rollerblades are shoes that have blades with tiny wheels in them. With roller skates you can stand straight and not tip over, standing on roller blades is like standing on ice skates.

We see them everywhere – along sidewalks, in the malls and in parks. These are devices worn by children which consist of a pair of boots with four wheels. A roller skate will allow anyone wearing it to roll along on wheels. Roller skates are being worn for entertainment but they also provide some benefits on the side. One is that it provides exercise. Another is that it is a speedier way to get from one place to another compared to walking.
Roller skates can be fun for kids but make sure of certain things when you buy your pair. Fit is very important. A perfectly fitting pair of roller blades will avoid painful blisters. It will also provide the user with better control. The kind of wheel to choose will depend on the surface where it will be used. Different kinds of wheels vary in terms of the speed that they provide. The choice will certainly depend on the age and personality of the child who will use it.

Parents these days are challenged as how they could introduce fun away from the computer games because gone are the days of the popular street games.

It was year 2002 when I stayed in my cousin’s Manhattan apartment for three months. He was away for the summer and allowed me to use his place. He told me to help myself to anything. So one day out of boredom I put on his rollerblades and attempted to skate in Central Park. I took my two nephews with me to the park so we could all enjoy a day out in the sun. As soon as I began rollerblading, I managed to fall, crash into some bushes and nearly fell over an old lady all within a span of 20 minutes. My two nephews who were toddlers back then kept on laughing at me. Just last week, my nephews who have grown to pesky kids showed me their new skater buds.
Skater buds is the latest evolution in roller skates. It is not a shoe with wheels, and it is not heavy and bulky. The straps are adjustable in size so that they can fit your child’s shoe as he or she grows. They also come with colorful wheels which you can remove and replace with lighted skate wheels. Skater buds are ideal for children 8 years old and a who above who do not weigh more than 150 lbs. The child must have a keen sense of balance. Skater buds should always be worn with a helmet, knee and shoulder pads for protection.

Enjoy warm summer nights by shooing the whole family outside to take advantage of the nice weather. Put on flashing wheels on your street gliders and skates. They are a must-have for children and adults who love zipping around the neighborhood at night. These will bring endless fun to everyone.
As with any outdoor equipment, make sure that all are wearing proper safety gear. Invest in good helmets, knee pads, elbow pads and other safety accessories. Orient kids too on precautionary measures to avoid preventable accidents. Tell them to keep to the sidewalks, never to skate in middle of the street and slow down when turning in street corners.

I consider all forms of skating, whether on ice or on solid ground, an art. How cool is it to glide through ice, cement or grass, balancing on a pair of boots attached to a blade or wheels and doing it in a most graceful manner. How confidently the skater moves to the rhythm of the music. I marvel at the speed at which the skater gets from one part of the rink to another. And when she exhibits figures in her skating, I secretly wish that I had taken this sport when I was younger.
Ice skating and roller skating have been with us for some time now. The invention of the inline skates is a more recent occurrence. Inline skates are different because they have a series of wheels arranged in a single line. Bearings allow the wheels to rotate freely around an axle. The result is more freedom of movement. And we need not worry about the safety of the skater because brakes are installed in either the heel or the toe part of the frame.
