Mr. T posted a discussionFinally brakes that work like brakes, if only...
I saw this today: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flexbrake/flex-brake-speed-control-for-your-inline-skatesI am surely impressed. The weight of these brakes is phenomenal and they really work like brakes. As it happened with Uwe Brockmann's device 7-8 years ago and then sort of commercialized by Gatorback Skates, (those were just an extra lever to use the traditional skating brakes…See More

Edit of the Koffee Schnaps freeride held on 18th and 19th May in Urbeis (France).
Gordon White replied to Gordon White's discussion Why Can't They Leave a Gap?"You are right Kimberly, it is their choice to wear protection or not. I attribute a large portion of the failure of inline skating to injury and much of that could have been prevented. I used to road race in the hey days of inline skating and I was…"
Gordon White commented on Tim's blog post About Me"Good luck on the marathon training outdoors. Here in my area (central Florida) many of our trails have become very skater unfriendly. I have spent the last couple of weeks reviewing trails for Traillink and here in my blog on Inline Planet. I have…"
Gordon White posted a blog postA Week Of Silence
My next plan was to take a look at the Cady Way Trail and extension but those plans were temporarily scrapped after leg #2 of the Seminole Wekiva Trail. I had a great skate that day and intend to go back. But for some odd reason about 2 miles from my finish my left foot developed a blister the size of a silver dollar.As an avid athlete it has pretty much taken the wind out of my sails because it is located on my heel where my shoe top meets it and is EXTREMELY painful. It is healing though and…See More

Tim posted a blog postAbout Me
About Me:I am a software engineer that is cooped up in a basement office 8 hours a day who loves sunshine and the breeze blowing through my hair.I first started roller blading in 1992 with a set of Roller Derby inlines from the hardware store. During my "rebellious" years I took up aggressive inline skating with a pair of Lightning TRS skates but dropped it after I almost got dropped. As an alternative, I took up short track speed skating with a pair of Bont Sharkies and AirPro frames for the…See More
Kimberly Simons Kraan replied to Gordon White's discussion Why Can't They Leave a Gap?"ADA requirements seem to take precedence over other viable options. ADA creates policy with no consideration to any other group expect those requiring ADA access. Then they submit to state legislator and whoah-la, you have policy that…"
Chris Miner replied to Jaan Saks's discussion Inline marathons and plyometrics"My thought about the plyometrics is that it trains fast-twitch muscle fibers and motor unit recruitment (ie more motor units fire at once to facilitate the contraction). At least some of the power you develop this way is developed simply by…"
Matt Egan replied to Andreas Bååth's discussion Mounting boots on the frames"I wrote out a long thing, then remembered that Richard Nett has a good article on it, with pictures even!
http://www.nettracing.com/Inline_Speed_Skate_Frame_Alignment_Instructions.htm
Though, his probably pertains to outdoor more than indoor.…"
Andreas Bååth posted a discussionMounting boots on the frames
HiI have just received my first pair of speed inlines and have one question. When mounting the boots on the frames how do you best do it so it gets in the right position? I guess it should be centered but is the only way to do it just to use your eyes? Or does anyone have any tip?The boots are Bont Jet and the frame is 3PF 6061.Regards/ AndreasSee More
Matt Egan replied to Jaan Saks's discussion Inline marathons and plyometrics"I think it depends on your goal with the marathon. If you're making it in to a long distance "fun" skate, then I wouldn't imagine that plyometrics would be that much of a benefit, if you're not competing for placements…"
Chris Miner replied to Jaan Saks's discussion Inline marathons and plyometrics"Hi Jaan, I honestly didn't notice that you were the person responding to Joseph's plyometrics question. Now that I have noticed, I have a couple questions for you. You suggest doing 6 to 10 reps and 2 to 4 series (sets) of an…"
Jaan Saks replied to Jaan Saks's discussion Inline marathons and plyometrics"I probably should have clarified, but what I meant was that the average winner's time is usually a bit over an hour. I brought this example to compare inline skating marathons with running marathons.
I totally agree with Chris and Barry that…"
