You're probably wise to stick to photographing skaters rather than lacing up yourself. Right after Christmas, I saw kids at the park by my house trying to roller skate for the first time. It made me want to go right out and get some skates, but my wife brought me back to my senses.
I like the crosswalk image. Last year, when the 50th anniversary remastered Abbey Road album came out, they closed a crossing area in Hollywood and put up large, two-sided posters of the Abbey Road crossing, minus the Beatles. I think they had a couple of them. People lined up for a chance to take pictures of themselves crossing like the Beatles.

Ohh yeah when I first came to NY I decided to learn roller skating and even took lessons in Central Park, I got over confident and headed down a steepish slope and crashed into a fence, well not so much into it, I very impressively did a jump and almost cleared the fence, almost being the key word and crashed and burned and decided after that skating of any form is not really for me lOL
That must have been so cool with the Abbey road images must have been so popular I bet
I didn’t learn about the Abbey Road photo-op until about an hour after it ended :-(
