In 1977 Ralph Bakshi made an animated movie called "WIZARDS".
I'd like to buy the one sheet movie poster that was used to 
promote the film. There's one catch though, I'd like a copy
that has been rolled and not folded. This may be an impossible
request, but it can't hurt to try.  I'll pay up for it!

Hi,
I just finished putting buckles on my inline rollerskates. Everything worked
fine, except that the little plastic strip is too small for the
the topmost buckle.

I've seen the strip quite often on other inline skates, but can't find a
place that sells them up here in Calgary.

It's a little strip (about 1cm wide) with a sawtooth shaped surface.
It should be about 20cm long (the one I have is about 10cm).

Could some kind soul tell me where I could find them?

Thanks,

The bearings are going to come pre-lubricated, since it's good protection
aginst corrosion, dirt and damage.  Whether they are lubricated with
speed cream or some generic/preservative grease is open to question, but
if they're still spinning happily, there's something there.

Maybe because nobody from the staff of In-line magazine is reading this group.
Did your copy of the magazine lack subscription information?

The address has been posted to this group probably a dozen times this year.
You received a free copy of the magazine, but discarded it. And now you're
complaining to us about the problem.

Duncan, how about if you become the repository of knowledge for international
mail-order of in-line skates? You may even want to talk to the In-line
advertising staff about this; I'd guess they'd be interested in telling the
advertisers about a pent-up demand for international mail-order on skates.

Yep! The tape from RollerBlade called 'InLine' (Learn inline skating from the
pros) shows how to use the heel brake, how to do spin stops, T stops and power
stops. They showed some guy doing a 'runout' onto the grass, but didn't talk
about the technique.

The section that covered skating backwards could have been expanded to give
more detail on transitions, and there was NO mention of backwards cross-overs.

Overall, it's a pretty good tape, but the sound was flakey. And the flyer I
ordered it from (it came with my daughters skates) really promoted the music
(REM, B52s).

I was able to pick the heel braking pretty quickly... keep your wait forward
and your hands in front for balance. I can even brake with my right foot while
standing (with my left foot) on the brake. Spin stops came pretty easy too.

It was worth the $20.00.

   So what do you expect those heat losses to be, when the ice is laid out
   in a flat sheet and the ambient temperature is, say, 35-40 degrees
   higher than the ice temperature?  I've heard figures of close to
   $1000/day for keeping a rink open in a part of the country that gets
   hot during the summer. This is just the cost of the electricity.
   There are lots of factors that go into the economics of cooling the
   ice: consider that many rinks would have to pay premium rates for
   electricity because their greatest need is at the time of greatest
   demand (on hot afternoons).  If their peak usage was at night, they'd
   get much better rates (the last guy I talked to said nighttime rates
   ran around 30% of peak daytime rates). Then there is the type of
   compressor, and so on.

I do think it does not have to be a lot of loss in a properly
insulated building.  The air over time will be close to the ice
surface temp. Like I said, there is a lot of heat intertia in the ice
which can average through the peak power periods by actually cutting
back on the cooling during these periods. It takes a large amount of
energy to melt ice. There are two cooling issues to optimize -- the
air conditioning and the ice conditioning.

   I think Steve is closer to the truth. Even for enclosed rinks that I am
   familiar with, most (I've asked) could not stay open during the summer
   because their compressors don't have the capacity to handle a summer
   load.

Do the ones that do stay open possess some magic? No. Perhaps the ones
that lose it in the summer do not have a proper cooling design for the
ice conditioning. Do those rinks that have to close not have cooling
coils under the ice floor?

   Even so, many rinks closer earlier than they would have to simply
   because of the economics (I believe Yale closes down during the second
   week of March).

Well, perhaps it would be informative to talk to the rink operators
that *do* stay open year round. They must be making money (ie $$$ in >
$$$ cooling cost, rent, salaries, etc). Actually, a couple of years
back the there was a steep rise in insurance that was the profit
draining issue. By the way are there folk out there that know the
economics of investing in either ice or roller rinks?

I have been finally able to find buckles to replace my velcro straps....
they are the same as the ones on the TRS.  They are available from
Skate City Supply Inc., PO Box 379, Ceder Crest NM 87008...505-294-6699
No catalog...but they seem to carry everything and anything.

It is about $19 for a pair...and they even send all the rivets and washers.
The guy on the phone said they import the buckles into the country, and most
everone else gets the buckles from them.  For the MacroBlades all you have
to do is pop the rivets out on the current buckles and use the same holes
for the new buckles and rivets.  On the other side you have to drill a hole
in the plastic for the other rivet.  Pretty simple...as long as you have a 
rivet gun.

Also, Skate City said they were going to be moving away from carrying
Rollerblades and move to Roces (the company that manufactures RB's stuff). 
One of the main reasons was that they are cheaper and come with Hyper wheels
instead of the 608's.  

Finally I can break free from those Velcro straps....

    As a figure skater, I am very used to ankle support and it was one of 
the deciding factors for me buying inlines.  None of the lace only skates that
I tried on really fit that well, and I didn't feel that lacing really made much
of a difference in the fit of the boot--they were still pretty flimsy around 
the ankle.  I settled on a pair of Roces Seoul (SEL) which just has an ankle
buckle and no adjustments across the top of the foot, only because the boot
really fit me well, and didn't need any adjusting across that area. The buckle
combined with a solid shell that wasn't broken by a lacing area gave me the
support I was used to.  (I use Reidel Royal figure skates)
