I like the new dinosaur theme! What did yall vote for? First I did Velociraptor, then I voted a second time for Iguanodon.
imsome1 imsome1

I voted for Velociraptor

It didn't take me long to be able to roller skate. But roller blading seems harder. Then again, it's just like ice skating, except it has wheels. Piece of cake!

Yeah, I wanna try ice skating sometime
