As opposed to your 9 month bump?

The closest DDR Arcade Machine is about five minutes from my house. I played on it a few nights ago and I'm happy to say I didn't stink as bad as I thought I would've (I'm still lost though as to how I beat Xepher on Medium but lost to Drop The Bomb on Expert, when the latter has less feet). Anyway, it was good fun.  |

There are DDR machines at the mall twenty minutes from my house. One's at the movie theater and the other is in a dedicated arcade. I go and play once in a while when I'm hanging out with friends. I remember one instance when I was playing while waiting for a movie to start and a couple of boys came up to me and asked me if I did DDR professionally. Interestingly enough, I was on an "off-night." I played again a few nights ago and I started to wonder whether or not DDR players are a dying breed. The machine I was playing on was, to put it charitably, an absolute piece of crap with some of the buttons not working. There's also the notion of John Q. Public clamoring around a machine being orchestrated by a player with decent skill and ogling in wonder like it was a Discovery/BBC documentary.
Maybe it's just a reflection of the times (the death of DDR OR the death of arcades).
I still have my dance mat and DDR HP3. However, since I moved into the apartment with my girlfriend, my DDR days have been cut short as all of the floors have carpeting (unless anyone has a remedy???).

Played DDR again at the movie theater and I took my first stumble.
I was playing Burnin' The Floor (Euro Edition) and missed the left arrow by a wide margin and fell off the machine. Not a lot of people were around, so it was not a big deal. Later that evening, I played again and knocked out a few hard songs. Right afterwards, I nearly passed out from heat exhaustion.
Am I getting old? I know I overdid it, but stuff like that was easy a few years ago...
