Rollerbladers are so stylish

I was thinking about the rollerbladers who always go to the park near where I live yesterday and I thought they all look so good. Some of them skate so well. Some look like skaters on ice but on the streets, with funky turns, backward moves and stylish skating. Some skaters set up cones and skate in and out of the cones in competitons between themselves. I tried it, it's a lot more difficult than it looks!!. I've also been to some of the Sunday skates they have here where we all meet in Hyde Park London, as a big group and go skating together. It's great. I'm trying to perfect backwards skating, I ice skate aswell sometimes but going backwards is so difficult on rollerblades. So if you're reading and got any tips then let me know, I'll try them. Do you go skating in a group or with friends? Can you do any tricks? I want to do some funky moves next.....
