"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…"

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

THX, this is something that is very new to me, so I really don't know a lot about it. Went looking at skates the other day & tried some on, have not got any as of yet. Did pick up some wrist guards. Plus it looks like you rollerblader's wear almost the same outfit as us cyclist, lol Thats good, wont have to go buy anything extra.
Going to pick up some knee & elbow pads soon & it looks like I can just use my bike helmet, any other tips on safety??

Westy said… - I'm just finally getting back into it, I last competed in 2004 then became pregnant with my first baby, circumstances after that just weren't good for me to get any consistent training. I did still session skate though. Then I had my daughter in 2008. I'm just now to the point where I am able to consistently practice, twice a week now. It's still difficult to get anymore skating training than that since I can't just take off and go skate somewhere when I have a 5 yr old and a 2 yr old. My 5 yr old has started skating though now, he's been going to speed skating practices with me, so now hopefully it's only a matter of a little more time before both my kids are skating and then they can just go with me to practices at least. :)

- Hi Robert,
Yeah, it has been a different kind of spring/summer for me not being able to skate. I have a soft tissue tear in my foot and it has taken forever to heal. I tried skating two months ago when I thought I was 90% healed, but that was a mistake and set be back. The healing has gone slowly and I think it would be wise to take the entire summer off, to make sure I am fully healed this time. Thanks for asking. I read Inline Planet almost daily.

Yes I am back in action. Had an amazing Ice season on Long Track setting new PB's in all my distances and competed at Master Worlds in Italy at the end of Feb finishing 4th in my age group! So it has been an amazing 10 months in my life. I am very happy to be walking never minds skating and going faster than ever!
Hope to see you at the races!
