Hello Everybody!
Meet me next weekend at the Long Beach Inline
Marathon in Southern California and the weekend after
that at Chris Edwards Monsters of Roll Tour at Camp
Woodward West in Tehachapi, California. In November
I will be flying to Fresno, California TWICE so I can be
there for the last two weekends of the Artistic Roller
Skating World Championships.
That's one speed skating event, one aggressive
skating event, and one artistic skating event.
Something for everybody! I hope to meet many of you
there.

| The Ultimate Skate Bag |
|
This unique over-the-shoulder skate bag was designed
by veteran U.S. speed skater Terry Holm, founder of
the Brainerd Inline Half Marathon in Minnesota. The bag
is unusual because it has one skate hanging in front of
your body and one skate resting on your back. Terry
tells me he can easily fit his skates, helmet, and all of
his protective gear in this bag and still have room for
plenty of personal items.
