A cheap new hobby or a quick way to break a leg?

I used to ice skate… a lot… 4 week nights and 5 hours on a sunday, every week for over 6 years

However the more and more I got into modified cars, and moved away from Doncaster where I used to skate, I slowly stopped going

I regret that massively, since then I’ve spent most of my time sat behind a computer screen gaining weight and getting more and more unhealthy

Recently I was on holiday at CenterParcs with my girflriend, who forced me to go inline skating with her. I’ve always steared clear of it as when I was younger I tried once and nearly broke my knee finding out that you can’t do a sliding stop on inline skates…
Anyway I gave it a go and much to my suprise its quiet a lot like ice skating and I was quite good at it

So back at home feeling a bit daft I thought this is a way for me to keep fit without a 30mile drive to the local ice rink… so bid on a set on ebay

I won them for £19.53 delivered!!! Don’t you just love ebay!
I don’t know if they’re any good, they’re made by bauer (which my £400+ ice hockey boots were made by so I assume they’re not bad)

Votes as to whether ..
a) I’ll never use them
b) I’ll break my leg
or
c) I’ll start an exciting new hobby
