So you'd be back to square 1, in addition to smelling like a freshly bathed baby.

If you could find a platform shoe like the one pictured (from the 70's), it would simulate the height of the skate! And after your B/F slide practice, you can do some pimpin' on da side.

Hey, check out Elvis, doin' a B/F Slide maneuver!!! LOL...
