Hello Everybody!
I have not sent a newsletter for a while, and it's mostly
because I have been so busy posting articles and news
on the home page of SkateLog.com. That Web site is
turning into into a daily newsletter with typically 5 or
10 new articles and interesting forum posts added
every day when I am in town. I hope you will add
SkateLog.com to the list of Web sites you check every
day to see what's new, because I am working very
hard to keep that page fun and fresh and interesting
for my skating friends all over the world.
MY TRAVEL SCHEDULE: I am SO disappointed (and
feeling very left out) because I
had to miss the Inline Speed Skating World
Championships in Italy this year due to budget and
scheduling issues. To make up for that loss - and
so I can still connect this year with the top pro speed
skaters and coaches in the world - I will travel to
Duluth Minnesota next week for the Northshore Inline
Marathon. Look for me at the Bont Booth, where you
can also meet Sara Bont herself and Bont North
America's Glenn Koshi. I am also attending the
Aggressive Inline Skating World
Championships September 9-11 in Pomona, California,
and one weekend of the Artistic Roller Skating World
Championships in Fresno California in November, and the
Monsters of Roll Tour at Camp Woodward West in
October. I hope to meet many of you at some of those
events. Please don't be shy about introducing yourself,
because sometimes - around the top pro skaters - I am
shy enough for both of us!
| Why My Photos Disappeared from the Web |
 |
|
A skater in our forum asked why many of my event and
skating trip photos recently disappeared from the Web
and they also asked if those photos are still available
anywhere on the Internet. Here is how I answered
that question...

| Me Trail Skating with the President of FIRS |
|
Here is a photo of me trying out TrailSkates in Seattle,
Washington in 2001 with Isidro Oliveras, president of
the International Roller Sports Federation and his wife
Marisa. This was only my first meeting with President
Oliveras and his wife, but we found that the three of us
had many things in common. We became friends
immediately!

| MY NEWEST WEB SITE: GmailUsers.com |
|
On April 1, 2004 Google released a beta version of their
new free Web-based email service that will give users 1
Gigabyte of storage space free. I am a beta tester of
Gmail and my newest Web site - GmailUsers.com - is
intended to be a hub of information for Gmail users all
over the world.... kind of like SkateLog is for skaters.
