2009...

5 more hours and its history... Wow, what a year!!! It FLEW by in my eyes. Overall it was a good year though, Buisness is doing well, upgraded all my products, and the family is doing well..

There really is nothing I can complain about.

I hope and pray that 2010 is a good year, God willing it will be. Happy New Year, and be safe!

Talk again next year.

God Bless

Little quick hint..

Its wintertime,.. I love the holidays, family, Christmas, giving, all that stuff.. What I don't like about this time, is the cold! Most skaters 1) don't skate in the winter, or 2) just skate inside as the weather is to cold for outside skating. Most rinks have floors that are less than grippy in the winter also. Skaters struggle to skate on a slick floor and to really get a great technical workout because they are fighting to floor to only stand up. Some skate on outdoor wheels but you usually get a "floating" feeling if on outdoor wheels because they are soft and NOT indoor wheels.

I have a solution! For the past few weeks while at practice, I have(along with some others) been testing and skating on Hyper composite 86A outdoor wheels. Yes, they are outdoor wheels. No they don't skate like an outdoor wheel, indoor. The secret is the hub that is in the wheels, they are stiffer and don't compress under the pressures of indoor skating(99% of other hubs do). So the end result is a wheel that feels like you are skating on a very soft indoor wheel, and don't get the floating feeling. If you are on a floor that is slick this winter, I would encourage you to try the wheels to get some grip and feel better during practice.

Another reason to try them, is that they are all on sale right now! all of the current 2009 wheels are on sale for 2 for 1! If you buy one set, you get another for FREE! This past weekend, I along with Jonathan, Corey Gahan, and Alex Harris were all on them to make sure that they will help you out from the headaches of a slick floor.

If you have any questions go ahead and ask me.

God bless, great skating, and have a great family filled December!
