Kids with Roller-Skates in Shoes

[Cronos]

Look, it isn't the fact that kids can roller-skate wherever they want; trust me, my rant is mainly that kids, and I'm talking kids as young as five or six, are using them in locations that are really stupid to use them. Supermarkets, malls, department stores, and other hazardous locations with way too many people and obstacles to do this sort of thing. If they did it in their neighborhoods are even just down the sidewalk or whatever, I wouldn't think twice about it. It just seems awfully risky and if I were a parent, I don't think I'd let my kids have them.

I couldn't agree with you more!

I'm not sure how well they work on sidewalks and things like that (just too many bumps). They're really made for those smooth surfaces like in the places you listed above.

Doc, my wife has jokingly said she wants a pair as well and I just laughed.

My only problem with them is that I wish they had them when I was a kid.

same here.

I haven't had any near collisions with kids so I haven't been bothered by them...

They obviously work better on a smoother surface, but you'd be amazed how well they do in a driveway or along a sidewalk. Like someone earlier said, though, watch out for the stick laying on the sidewalk.

That was obviously a joke.

Hoverboards are no joking matter.
