"Perhaps it is good news. Nevertheless, quite frankly, skating on roads with traffic is not at the top of my list of things to do. One little mishap and one could very well be history.
In my opinion, for skaters, I equate improvements to more trails…"

Gordon White replied to Chris Miner's discussion Inline skating an old (wo)mans sport?"I don't know Mr T, my favorite butt head off all is the drivers who block crosswalks while waiting at intersections! There is plenty of room for them NOT to block the crosswalks but they do, EVERY TIME!!!!! I can live with everything else, but…"
Mr. T replied to Chris Miner's discussion Inline skating an old (wo)mans sport?"What do you do when people walk or cycle or jog side by side? Good question. I tried to be nice, I tried to act upset (On 110 mm wheels I am 6'7"), but to no avail. Now I just do not care and I came to accept it as a cross I have to…"
Erik Torgerson replied to Chris Miner's discussion Inline skating an old (wo)mans sport?"Mr. T, after rereading my post, I apologize. It came of as kind of snarky and flippant. Sorry about that.
I have patience with the family group who has toddlers just learning to bike. The little ones seem to be all over the trail but it's…"
Mr. T replied to Gordon White's discussion Drafting"It would be quite a sighting if instead they had ear phone on their arms and Ipods in their ears. Same end result probably, but quite a sight. ;-)

Gordon White replied to Gordon White's discussion Drafting"I rarely see skaters on the trails these days and the ones I do see I wouldn't want to pack skate with Ken LOL! Usually the ones with Ipod on their arms and the ear phones in their ears! I had to quit skating on Seminole Wekiva because of the…"
Robert Burnson posted a discussionIllinois may allow inline speed skaters to skate on roads
From the St. Louis Today:SPRINGFIELD, ILL • The Illinois Legislature today sent Gov. Pat Quinn a bill that would require in-line skaters to follow the same traffic laws as all other vehicles on the road. Under current law, in-line skaters are required to be on the sidewalk, and are not allowed to skate on the road. “People are skating at too high of speeds to be forced to be on the sidewalk,” said the bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Chris Nybo, R-Lombard. The bill, which passed the House 101-16,…See More
Ken replied to Gordon White's discussion Drafting"That's great Gordon to hear from you on skating. I've mostly skated solo as it was difficult to find a pac that was my speed and cadance. The few times I did, I loved it since it saved a lot of energy. …"
Gordon White replied to Chris Miner's discussion Inline skating an old (wo)mans sport?"If you say "on your left" to a mother with the young 'uns in tow (usually zigzagging across the trail or stopped sideways in the middle) they generally move to the left LOL! On our trails there are areas the families favor because it…"
Chris Miner replied to Chris Miner's discussion Inline skating an old (wo)mans sport?"I find hollering somehow aggressive. Another solution is a standard bike bell. There are quite a few that are small and simple enough to be carried and operated with just one hand. Where I skate and bike, it's considered polite to ring a bell…"

Mr. T replied to Chris Miner's discussion Inline skating an old (wo)mans sport?"Erik, I have not set personal bests on the trail I use most often for two years now. Not because I am not capable of that as I have trained more than usual, but because trail conditions are not suitable anymore and I have accepted that. Now I…"
Erik Torgerson posted a status"Question to the marathoners out there, what wheels are you skating on and which bearings? And why did you pick your particular set ups?"
Erik Torgerson replied to Chris Miner's discussion Inline skating an old (wo)mans sport?"One solution to having people in the trail, taking up the whole thing, is to holler out well in advance of the pass that you're coming up on their left (or right). I do this quite often when I skate. I have a nice trail to skate on but…"
Mr. T replied to Chris Miner's discussion Inline skating an old (wo)mans sport?"I would not even think of skating on roads... sure path to the cemetery or the boot hill as they called them in the days of the Far West. In Italy it is the same way, in the US it varies state by state or even county by county. In any case, if…"
Mr. T replied to Mr. T's discussion Eoskates"In my opinion, Chris, the market for this expensive frames (advertised at Eur 300) is skaters who have some extra money to spend, not exactly the youngsters, unless they ask their parents to chip in. Given the demographics we are in and that both…"
Chris Miner replied to Chris Miner's discussion Inline skating an old (wo)mans sport?"Interestingly enough, one can't legally skate on roads in Germany. On the other hand we have "flaeming skate", which is probably worth a vacation even from the US. A dreamy paradise of luscious asphalt trails near…"
Chris Miner replied to Mr. T's discussion Eoskates"Given my other thread on the topic of age and inline skating, I find it amusing to see marketing directed at apparent 16 to 24 year olds. Have to wonder if youngsters are really in the market for the frames? Maybe they need to…"
Mr. T posted a discussionEoskates
Not sure, if anyone has had a chance to see or, better, to try them. Just in case, here is the link to the website for these productshttp://www.eoskates.com/Home.phpI wonder how the frames feels like.. Besides being made entirely of carbon, it is quite light and I am concerned about excessive flexing of the frame when used by heavier skaters. We are talking 130g/4.5 oz for this frame! Not cheap either.. I have not seen one yet. I realized it…See More
