Kay: Update from the newbie (29. Oct. 2010 19:55)
	Still haven't started making my vert skates, but I found some quads at Goodwill -- Marco Polo "Warriors", real OLD SKOOL. :) I had to replace the bearings and bushings but that was no problem and I'm using them for derby practices for now! Obviously if I stick with derby I'll have to upgrade before too long but they're actually working just fine. My skates look exactly like this, but white and red: http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-YELLOW-BLACK-MARCO-POLO-ROLLER-SKATES-NEW-OLD-/160498262679?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item255e712297 I went out to the skatepark today for the first time and was too chicken to do much of anything besides get a lay of the land. But soon I will have insurance and then I'm going ALL OUT. Below is a fuzzy picture someone took of me practicing falls. :D

	: "Warriors come out and play ayyyyy". Awesome! LOVE that movie!! Some neighborhood kids and I decided to start a "gang" after seeing that movie. We were as 'white bread' as they get, so we never really were even a mini-gang. Thought we were tough, though. Ha! I just realized that the red and white skates that Kay has are pictured on the box cover.
