If you wear them "around the house", be careful (if there are no 
blades attached, not to bend your foot the way one normally does when 
walking.  Just sitting still with them on will help.  My daughter used 
to put on a pair of socks (thin ones), dip her feet in water, and then 
put on the new boots and sit around with them done up tightly.  She 
would repeat that 2 or 3 times over a one-week period and it seemed to 
help a lot.

When she got to be a **really** strong skater, other people asked her 
to wear their new skates for them(!!)  She would put them on and 
stroke around for 10 minutes.  They claimed that the slight bending 
she induced made them easy to wear after that.  She was oblivious to 
any discomfort in such boots.  You may not want to trust someone with 
your new skates for such a purpose nor is it always possible to find 
someone willing to do such a weird thing.

Since you did not specify what kind of skating, I shall assume you
mean indoor rink skating ;-). If not, you might be interested in this as
an alternative venue for skating. (During those days that are too cold.)

I would check out the Roxy on Wednesday nights from 8PM-2AM. This is
the *ultimate* in rink "urban" dance skating. It is a scene to behold.
It is located on 18th st & 10th Ave:

       Buisness: (212) 645-5156

The Rink in Bergenfield NJ (not too far from Manhattan) has a late
night skate from ~10PM - 5am on Saturday's.

Sorry about the delayed FAQ posting.  I had originally intended to post
on the first of the month, but I had to wait a couple days for approval
to cross-post to news.answers as well.  NOTE:  All FAQ files posted to 
news.answers are archived at pit-manager.mit.edu, available via 
anonymous ftp, so no one has to wait for me to reply in order to find
copies of a FAQ file.

The organization of the FAQ files is still a bit frazzled.  I'm not sure
where to put the stopping section, for one thing.  And of course, some
sections could use a some editing still.  In any case,  posts in 
news.answers have a longer expiration date (one month) than in rec.skate,
so check there first. I will try and repost as soon as the old one expires.

For you ice skaters out there, I know you feel swamped by the in-line and
and roller crowd, but you are more than welcome to add stuff to the FAQ
files. (Granted, there haven't been too many FAQs for ice skating, but
we gotta start somewhere 8-)

My vacation week at the Lawrence Welk Resort 
(Yeah, I know, it was just a pad to reach Disneyland from)

on the grounds.

One sunny morning, I booted up and was rolling around
minding my own business. A comical fat putz in a golf
cart rolled up alongside me and gave me the edict.
In general, this place runs a heavy patrol of male/female

Organization: Tektronix, Inc., Wilsonville, OR.


Geez, doesn't anyone talk about inlines in this group any more?  All
I ever is read is stuff about ice skating.  Maybe we should start an
inline mailing list!  :-)

I just got some California Pros for a present about 6 weeks ago.  I seem
to go through wheels awfully fast.  I'm now on my third set.  Is this 
normal?  I've been skating quite a bit but I have no idea how many miles.
I usually go out for an hour or hour and half in the evenings and maybe
five hours on the weekends.

The wheels that came on these skates were 70mm 82A.  They lasted about 3
weeks.  I figured I used them up quick trying to learn to turn and stop.
(I'm still learning and spend quite a bit of time practicing turns, forward
and backwards.)

The hardest skates my local skate shop had that would fit my skates are
Kryptonics 72.5 mm 78A.  That's the largest wheel that fits and the only
wheels they had that were harder were also larger.  These lasted me about
2 weeks.  I had one long day that took them from slightly worn to trashed.

My newest wheels, also Kryptonics 72.5 mm 78A, are showing wear after about
3-4 hours of pretty easy skating.  I am now trying to use my brake for all
stops rather than doing hard turns.

Some other points of information:

I rotate my wheels when they start to look like they are wearing on the 
inside.

I don't like to drive somewhere to skate so I start from home which means
I skate on all kinds of surfaces.  Hills are inevitable.  I usually slalom
down them to keep my speed down.

There are probably lots of things I'm doing that are wearing my wheels but 
what wears them the most?  Rough pavement?  Slaloming?  (I assume hard turns
at speed will be real hard on them.)  What about my skating technique?  I'm
just learning so will poor technique wear wheels excessively?  And how 
about my skates?  I have found I can twist the frames with my hands quite
a bit more than than some other skates I have looked at.  Will this wear
wheels?

So far I have put about as much into wheels as the skates cost.  If stiffer
skates would help, maybe I should get new skates sooner rather than later.

Can you you get 80A-82A wheels in small diameters?

Thanks for any info.

Agreed.  Toe stops makes "walking" much easier, but nothing stops in-liners 
from walking down the steps backwards.  Or even sideways, just like for
skis.  Personally, I prefer to jump them if it's short, or ride them 
otherwise, but lots of times those pesky pedistrians get in the way 8-) 8-)

I've seen lots of skaters merely slow up as they reach the top of the steps,
step down a couple of steps with the one skate and jump the rest of the
steps.  Of course, it helps if the steps aren't too narrow.

Translating your linear velocity to angular velocity is a neat trick to learn.
Unfortunately, the place where you need to be able to stop the most -- steep
narrow terrain -- is where a spin stop will be lest practical. Often, being
able to maintain a linear vector -- being predictable -- is the most important
thing in a stop. When you do a spin stop, your direction is typically
unpredictable to people around you.

Hmmm, the times (too rare!) I have watched roller skating events on TV
they seems to be very engaging. In fact you will see moves in roller
skating that you will not see in ice skating. As for weight, this may
be a good thing since ice skating "competition" is suffering form
jump rotation inflation currently. Perhaps the issue is the frequency
of televised freestyle and dance roller skating events. Make no
mistake about it, there are people who consider roller skating on par
to ice skating. Roller skating is an artistic form in its own light -- not
some lame imitation of ice skating.

Are your bearings really SEALED or just SHIELDED?  I don't think any
skates come stocked with sealed bearings.  Sealed bearings are usually
sold separately, like the Max Trainers, since they're slower and more 
expensive in any case.  If you look back in the FAQ, follow the steps 
where you pop off the shields on one side of your bearings, so you can 
get at the gunk inside.

Try any number of the mail-order places.  You shouldn't pay more than
$18-20 + S&H.  There seems to be about 3 different kits available (the
Blading Edge kit, the Hyper-hop Up kit, and one other, I think).
