Since I’ve been resting, I’ve noticed how much I really miss skating.
Cycling is fun — but it doesn’t have the same amazing, intangible quality as skating.
I wish I had immediate and constant access to ice, but I don’t. I can skate short track, but it’s not quite the same.
Outdoor inline is a blast, too. Especially when you’re in a good double-push rhythm.
That said, my friend Pat Naylor – an incredible master’s skater, and 1998 X-Games Downhill Inline Champion – called me today about buying a pair of Bont Jet skates.
Pat can order them for me, but I just don’t know if I want to spend the money. I don’t know what to do…
Anybody, anybody?

you know how I am going to answer this question.
Look, skating is joy to you, you make GREAT money, you deserve nothing less than a full custom bont Vaypor. You have never owned a custom. It’s time… You will skate happily in them for years..
reap some tiny, small, award from how hard you work..
customs are sooooooo nice….
that said, do I think you will do it? with your strong self denial instinct… not a chance.. but that does not mean I am not right in what I suggest…

You’re right… but if I’m not going to race, then who cares. We’ll see… customs would be nice, but I don’t know.
