Default Skates and stuff?

Is anybody here into skating (board, in-line, roller,...)?

I used to have in-line skates, really enjoyed it!

Now I'm really interested in snowboarding, too bad there aren't any mountains here so I can only board indoors.
Skiing was nice too.

I wear sixe 15 shoes so I haven't been able to find a pair of inline skates that fit me since I was 15 or so years old. I'd love to have a pair though since I enjoyed them a lot as a kid.

Rollerblading caught the U.S. by storm in the early/mid 90s but then quickly faded away. After that, skateboards became popular and have remained so since. I do neither.

Used to rollerblade like 6 years ago but never stayed with it. Tried skateboarding but I don't care for it. Tried Snowboarding and my ass had never undergone so much pain before in my life.

First what are in-line skates? Are they like Roller blades or something? And i Skateboard only to get around, though i watch it from time to time on TV and like it. Snowboarding is fine but it hurts too god damn much. And i only Rollerblade when i play Street hockey. And i only skate when i play Hockey ( Ice Hockey for the Yanks)

What about skeelers? They are great for long distances. But I still prefer my bike.

Can anybody do any tricks?

I've been snowboarding for a good portion of my life. BC, so surrounded by gr A mountains.

I just don't like pavement sports like skateboarding/inline.

I also wakeboard in the summer.

Skeelers are in-line skates with (usually) 5 wheels. They are longer than regular skates so you can have longer strides which makes them perfect for long distances.

Scooters anyone? It's funny, in Holland a scooter is some kind of motorised bike.... like this:
