Content:	HAPPY NEW YEAR, Everybody!!! Hope everyone had a Fun AND Safe New Year's Eve. Lee & I were VERY fortunate to have my Amazing wife, Dawnie, be our Designated Driver last night so we could indulge. Pretty cool of her as she's pregnant & it was pretty cold last night. Anyway I thought you guys (& girls) might want to see my new SK8s. It's a TOTALLY new Set-Up for me as I've always skated stock rollerskates that I just slightly modified. These new SK8s are also STOCK, but intended for Vertical Skating.....And THEY WORK!! Check it out: Here's what a Dork looks like when his new SK8s finally arrive: The SK8s: New SK8 next to Old SK8: I have to say I REALLY like these new SK8s. I know most of you have been riding wider trucks forever, but I haven't, & I LIKE it! Still uploading pictures from our session the other night, but I'll post them soon. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!! KEEP ROLLIN' in '09!!!! PEACE & LOVE, Jay

	: Nice Jay. Did you get those from Rollergirl? What are you going to do with the plate? Any jump bars or grind plates? Hey Robert, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! No, unfortunately RollerGirl no longer offers ramp skates on her site. :(. She seems to be entirely focused on Derby these days. We couldn't even get her to hit a park with us @ 08 RC SK8 Park Tour. I got them through skates.com. Check out my post from yesterday "Lee's Visit Pics & Vids" or words to that effect. I put link in to page with my skates on it through skates.com. The picture they have has a Jump-Bar & they have toe plugs. What came did NOT have Jump-Bar & had Toe-Stops. I was actually glad though cuz I know I wou;d've had to taken off Jump-Bar & I HATE Toe-Plugs, so it worked out. I did up-grade to bigger wheels & ABEC-9 bearings, but other than that they're Stock. I was getting plate slides my 1st session on 'em, so I'm pretty Happy with them. Hope you have an AWESOME Birthday, Bro. PEACE, Jay : : : nice hairdo lol. ;-D : : : : cool sk8s! i bet ur stoked.

	its a shame lisa is no longer into vert as she was the first vert rollerskater i talked too and looked up to for guidance starting. :`( i thought she was making new vert skates but none on her site. i will talk to her sometime as i still value her opinion since she knows what vert requires moreso then the other rollerskate equip sites. I hope she tries out the 965s reidell boots. my 265s hurt my feet after awhile since they dont fit right. i seem to have abnormally narrow heels but a square toebox and those would fit me good I think. plus they are stiff which i assume would be good? I know she gets to test boots for free. it will be another year im sure before i can afford boots but that gives me time for the derby girls to test the durability for me lol. i wish the carerras fit my feet as those are so cheap! otherwise i would have to afford a lot of cash for custom fitting. not working yet lol. : : Nice Jay.
