6'5" counts as very tall in my book. No wonder you had trouble skating. The kind of roller skates that clamped on to your shoe would get loose when you skated on sidewalks and bumpy streets, and you needed the skate key to tighten them back up again. If you skated a lot, you probably wore the key on a ribbon or piece of string around your neck. You probably played ball, instead. Some people are ball people, some are wheel people, some are feet people. I am not a ball person, in any way, shape or form.

<I'm 6'5", which was tall in BD (Before Dirt). Not so unusual any more -- I run into a lot of tall teenagers now, both boys and girls. Better nutrition and all that stuff.> Yeah, isn't that weird? I used to be considered moderately tall for a woman, but I felt like a midget when I was back at university doing post-grad work a few years ago. Seemed like I only came up to the shoulders of the girls and the elbows of the guys... it was a very "diminishing" experience...
