Social networking for inline skaters

Summer edition of the Get Rolling Orbit newsletter

Hi skating peers! Here are the latest stories on the Get Rolling home page.

Sustainable Inline Skates! - Powerslide's eco skate, the Greenline Phuzion, is made of 90% recyclable materials. (They've got a really slick web site too!)
Surviving a Nighttime Group Skate - Practice moves to save your skin when things get dicey.
Meet Trish Alexander - The new USSG Director knows how to find the FUN in everything she does.
Goodbye, ABT - I thank Robert for his original InlinePlanet story, alerting me to this. I believe discontinuing this 1994 Product of the Year was a big mistake.
Journal of a Self-Taught Skiker - When Parrish Sims couldn't find "skike" lessons, he did some research and taught himself.
Take Care of Your Spine - Tips on stance, technique, stretching, and manipulation for spinal health. (I'd be curious to know other skaters' thoughts about chiropractic care.)
Proper Helmet Fit - Are your brains showing? How to fine tune the fit for the smartest cranial coverage.
Skater Crossing - This quarter's featured inline online destinations.
By popular request, our 4XS YouTube video of Smooth, Silent, Secure and Secret(!) braking power with the 4XS system is now live. (Thanks Dan!)
Tell inline manufacturers how you think 4XS 4-wheel disk brakes could impact our sport—and enjoy incentives for 2010.

We have a chance right now to influence ongoing 4XS licensing contract negotiations with a major inline manufacturer. If you know anybody who -- if it weren’t for “the stopping thing”

would have taken up inline skating in the past, or
would enjoy inline skating more, or
wants to learn inline skating, or
gave up skating altogether,

then please share this link: http://www.inlineskatestop.com/contact.htm

...so they can add their names to the list of supporters to be forwarded to the manufacturer by inventor Alex Bellehumeur. (Note: They will also be offered priority ordering and significant discounts on 4XS-equipped skates once in production).
