Where have you been skating lately?
: I skate Böblingen on a regular basis, every Thursday for the OldFartsSkateNight and occasionaly on Sundays too. Last time I skated was yesterday evening, trying my new slalomboard and wheels and to the bakery in the morning.

Chris, it's nice to see you at this roller skaters hangout again.

 I haven't been skating this year. The last time was on 28. December 2001. It has been in Böblingen (you also can see to rollerskating pictures on this page). It's a great place for the winter, because it is heated. Now that it has gotten much warmer, I hope to be skating outdoors again.

What have you been doing?

 I managed to get a short outdoor skate in yesterday
(Jan. 27). The last previous skate I had was Dec. 19. The weather has been freakish here in southern Ontario this winter. Cold but almost no snow ( a total of maybe 6 inches- 15 cm. which has totally melted now ). It was awkward trying to skate since there is a dusting of road salt and sand on the pavement which makes it slippery. I'm looking forward to getting my first shot at ramp skating this spring. I've rec and fitness skated for over 20 years and like to downhill skate every decline I can find, but I just got interested in vert skating this past year. Hope I don't make too much of a splash my first time out. :)

 Howdy, The weather has been nice hear in Wilmington, North Carolina for most of the winter. We had one snow storm that dropped 10-12 inches a couple of hours inland and 2 inches even down here at the coast. We have had plenty of 70+%f with sunshine making it nice to skate our lovely new public concrete park. Check it out on Jim Rees web site. http://www.rampandpark.com/ We also had a nice indoor park here called EastWood Ramp Park until last week, it contained a 32ft. wide 13ft. tall vert ramp with skatelite and a obstacle course with boxes, ledges, various 1/4 pipes, and even a rythm section(built for bikers) but fully skateable. Since it's demise last week, parts of this park will live on elsewhere , some of it will go to another park here called the SkateBarn in Hampstead, NC. Just a quick 25 min. drive. So I guess it has been pretty nice down here although I spend most of my time aat the moment rehabbing my wrist. Right now I am getting to skate a couple of times a week.

What a sissy I am! I'm waiting for the pebbles to be cleaned away before hitting the streets again. However, I hope for some ramp to be dry.

Great stuff! I will add this link to the resources. BTW: Shall I change the forum software that it displays stuff that begins with http:// as a clickable link?
