The last couple of stamp postings have been interesting in that the
collectors have asked for INFORMATION rather than posting for trade,
sale or buy.. I find this encouraging as my experience has been that
it is difficult to "sell" collectors on spending time/money on knowledge
as opposed to strictly stamps.. As someone who is involved in a national
stamp society and has staffed a society table at several stamp shows, I
can tell you that it is extremely difficult to convince a collector to
become involved in organized philately as the main benefit of this involvement
is knowledge. They tend to not want to spend the money for annual memebership
dues which are only $15 or $20 a year.. However, along with this comes a
society journal and contacts with others of like collecting interest..
Another thing which discourages collector interest in organized philately
is INVOLVEMENT.. They view philately as a hobby which is strictly an activity
to be practice by oneself and also the fear of public knowledge that they
will be known as stamp collectors; either because of the perceived thought
that burglars will steal their collections or that the public views stamp
collectors in an unfavorable light...

Yet another perspective...

I think that in-lines are closer to roller-skaking than ice-skating.

I grew up on roller-skates and made the transition to in-lines easily. 
For me it was simply that 'wheels is wheels'.  In-line or quads, you know 
what rolling is all about.

I would have thought that the dissemalarities between ice-blades and r-blades
would include things like edge control.  On in-lines, you can't 'catch an edge'
cuz you're always on one (edge that is).  And the whole idea of traveling 
sideways (hockey stop or spinning) using the 'flat' part of the blade seems 
totally foreign on r-blades.

All the stuff done on roller-skates makes sense on in-lines. Ice? Doesn't
seem the same.  Comments?

The Sept/Oct issue of _Skater's_Edge_ is out.  Here is more news...

  1. Christopher Bowman will tour with Ice Capades this season.  Under
     new USFSA regulations, he will not lose his amateur status.  Apparently
     he will make a grand entrance wearing leather and riding a Harley.

  2. Cathy Turner, 500-m short-track speed skating gold medalist, also
     will tour with Ice Capades this season.  She will do an obstacle
     course and race with the other skaters.  She will also sing.

  3. April Sargent-Thomas and Russ Witherby have turned pro.

  4. I saw a TV interview with Brasseur/Eisler at which they claimed to
     have no plans to turn pro.

  5. Skate America, which is to be held Oct. 19-25 in Atlanta, will be
     televised by ABC.  Schedule unknown- check your TV guides.

Or you can use Bladetool, by Rollerblade.  It includes a bearing
pusher, as well as an hex wrench and a Philips head.
I bought here localy for about $10.

I have a couple of questions on technique: clearly they apply to more
than just speedskating, but I expect that it is in speedskating, ice
or other, that these things are given the most attention...

I have often read on this list, and elsewhere, the following two bits
of advice:

   a) when stroking, push directly to the side, not back and to the
      side, and

   b) place your foot directly under you, or even a little beyond
      that, when starting a new stroke.

I try to do these things (blading), sometimes manage to, and can see
that they do produce a reasonable stroke, but would anybody care to
offer explanations as to why they are good technique?

On point a, I don't see that there would be any loss of efficiency if
the push was angled somethat back.  The sideways component of your
push works against the angle of the blade to produce a forward force,
and the backward component of your push should produce forward force
directly.  I have also noticed that it is possible to skate with your
stroke going somewhat forward of your body -- sometimes you will see
people do it when skating casually, for example.

On point b, if you place your foot across the center line of your
body, don't you immediately start to fall a bit to the (wrong) side,
and then just have to do something to stop it?  Why would this be a
good idea?

Many sports such as skiing, ice and roller skating teach beginners how to fall 
and get  up as part of one of the first lessons. Skiing has been a great	
help to me in developing my confidence in falling. It's a lot easier
to fall in a pile of snow than a pile of concrete or gravel. Confidence
and relaxation are very important in avoiding injury.
