Here is some information on my favorite sports:

    Skating 
All my life my favorite thing to do  is skate. I enjoy rollerskating and inline skating. I have participated in both recreational and speed skating. Let me tell you a little bit about skating and my skates.
 
Quad Skating

I started out on regular quad speed skates. Quad skates are basically regular speed roller skates. I don't really speed skate in Quads (much slower) but I have more fun and I use my Quads more than my Inline skates any given week. My quads consist of an Obeheimer 351 B boot, a Laser Hardnose plate, A set of Labeda Turbo wheels and Fafnir 8 ball bearings. These can be pretty costly but it is well worth it!

Inline Skating

As years went by, a new sport became popular, Inline skating. Inline skates are popularly called "Rollerblades" by most people, but not by me. I use inline skates almost exclusively to speedskate. My inline skates consist of a "Bont Hustler" boot, an "Excelsior NX" 5 wheel frame, a set of 6 "Square Dot" (orange) and 4 "Ultimate Sidewinder" (red) indoor wheels, a set of "Hyper Redlines" (purple) outdoor wheels, and two sets of Boss Swiss ABEC 5 bearings.I use these skates as often as I can both indoor and outdoor.

Track
When I started high school at Ridgewood High School, I joined up with the track team. I had a wonderful time at Ridgewood, running the long distance events, and then running short distance events at River Ridge High School for my junior and senior years. I first earned a varsity letter at River Ridge for running the short distance events
 
Swimming

When I went to River Ridge High School for my junior and senior years, I decided to try out for the swimming team. My previous high school had no swim tam and I had always wanted to join a swim team. I had loved swimming but never did it on a competition level. I swam for two school years, won the "most improved swimmer" my first year, and received a varsity letter as well. I learned to truely love swimming, and I wish I had continued to swim.
