Sooo.... I haven't been skating for about four years now, because I broke a buckle on my previous blades, and it was time for them to go anyway. Then we had a kid, and I was too busy, yada-yada, lots of excuses - you name it.
Anywho, I finally got myself a new set - and these are top of the line Rollerblade Speedmachine 110. Anything beyond that, and you are talking about shoes that don't cover the ankle, and it takes a lot of control to stay on top of those in a fast run.
I got them today, put them on in the afternoon and gave it a good run. Damn, even though I was four years out of the loop, I easily caught up and passed a few skaters going full speed on the trail.
Hellz yeah! Gotta do some Wednesday night skating at Stanford again!
