I'm finishing up two more Doruss sets, and I need the 
following cards.  I have plenty of commons to trade for these.
I'd be willing to trade kind for kind, or work something out.
I'm really flexible.

I would object for two reasons;

A) It's a free market.

B) Although dealers have to pay $35.00 a table to sell their goods, they 
   will also charge $2.25 for a pack of cards that cost them $.75 or less.
   They often get top dollar for cards that sold a year ago.  Most
   markets lower the cost of old goods to make room for the new inventory.
   Oh yeah, good luck trying to get a good deal on a volume buy.  Regardless
   if you buy one card or twenty cards, you pay high book value.

Anyone else seen this "movie"? I rented it last week from the local
video store. It has some (not enough!) good blading scenes, and a 
weak plot. It's worth sitting through just for the blade sceens though.


I was visiting my brother's family in the small town of Walla Walla. 
Wa.  last weekend, and went blading several times in the local park.  I
never saw another person on skates, and judging from the looks I got I
may have been the first person to rollerblade in Walla Walla...  Anyone
else experienced this? I had an interesting conversation with a blind
lady who was walking down the street along the park with her mother. 
She heard me skating past, and called me back for a chat.  She wanted
to know all about rollerblading and blades, as she was interested in
trying it some time...

Costco in Beaverton currently has Rollerblades - Coolblades for

Most decent inline frame designs are "rockerable", usually by removing
the wheels and changing around a few parts.  It has been argued here
that all rockering does is reduce stability without adding
maneuverability.  I disagree with this and have mine rockered.

Still, even after rockering, its harder to learn to do front-to-back
turns and such on inlines than it is on ice, IMO.  Ice is more
forgiving in that if you don't turn quickly enough, the skate can
scrape along in the sideways position a little ways.

When I went to Europe last year I wanted to take my blades with me
badly  but I wasn't sure if there are any local ordinaces against
rollerblading on the streets.  I know in countires like Singapore there
are alot of strict rules so it would be a good idea to check and find
out (about skating there) before taking the skates with you.

I took my rollerblades to Hawaii in April and was disappointed to find
out that no skates allowed along Waikiki beach.

Regarding open space for skating, I found it more interesting to skate
along the sidewalks so I can window shop, sight see and skate at the
same time.  I assume trip to HK/China would probably be like this.

Do most of you skate in open spaces?  I have to fight with bikers and
joggers for space  where I skate.

Well, there is Speed Skating Times and USAC/RS puts out some sort of
newsletter. Both of these are going to be further away from what you're
looking for -- more racing-oriented.

Roller Skater magazine had a lifetime of a bit over a year, but it exists no
more.

There's no reason why Inline shouldn't address your needs. Maybe you should
let them know what you want to see that you're not seeing now. And tell them
if you don't like the funny size.

So what are they intended for?  Misleading people into thinking that they
are a racing skate?  Someone should tell that to the Rollerblade marketing
department so that they can come up with less misleading names.

How about BoatAnchorBlade and DogRacer, respectively?

I haven't heard much at all, other than that the frame is mounted
permanently to the boot-- which I would say is reason enough not to get a pair.

Actually, I didn't even know they were selling the them yet-- I've certainly
never seen anyone useing them...

I saw a brief blurb in this week's TV guide saying that Kristi
Yamaguchi hasn't decided yet whether to continue competing as an
amateur, or to turn pro.  Anybody have news about any of the other
skaters?  When are the fall competitions (Skate Canada, etc) going
to be?
