Ghooste,

I ride both hard and soft wheels depending obn where I am going to ride. When I want to roll for many, many miles, I like the new Speedvents at 79a. I also like many of Abec 11's wheel line. I use there Gumballs mostly.

When I ride hard wheelos, I use Powell Peralta mini cubics at 97a.

Ghooste, Happy Holidays and please send my best wishes to all in the UK!
Cliff Coleman

Timeship gloves
On 11/29/2006 herbn wrote in from United States  (205.188.nnn.nnn)

love the gloves ,they're cool. I like a bit more plastic on the ground,though i was thinking ,it's real easy to make bigger uhmw slider parts ,maybe a extra velcro strap around the fingers, i see their functional aspects but i don't have much use for a rail grab while sliding.

I told ya we had a wicked female crew. One of them, Elyse, is pregnant so takin it easy, and Maryse,a wicked rider as well is away from the country for studying.

We all believed in Guylaine cause she simply rocks the concrete good. Montreal crew is super honoured!

Bravo encore Guylaine, je te l'avais bien dit!

Hey Cliff

Hey Cliff,

It was really good to meet/skate with you this weekend. Slidefest and the NBS Outlaw were alot of fun. I wish it didnt go by so quick. I am looking forward to seeing you and all your All-Stars again. Also thanks for bringing out Mark Short. It was definitely cool to meet him. I wish I could make it out there sometime to skate with his crew. Definitely let me know next time you swing by down here and maybe we could skate Loretta or some other hill...See you around!

Robbie

Just Skating!
On 11/4/2006 Cliff Colemaqn wrote in from United States  (68.101.nnn.nnn)

EVERYONE here at the SlideFest is having a great time. No politics, no hassles, just plain stoke and brotherhood. Now I know that after the event there is usually a two to three week window of internet bitching. I'm just writing to remind all skaters that when we are on the hill it is so much better than when we are at our computers.

Yesterday at "Blacks" it was happening! Variations that are new and exciting were the norm. I can't wait till the event in a few hours.

Isabelle, you rock, period! Keep up the important work you have been doing to promote skating. This is a personal thanks to you for who you are. See you today.

More later,
Cliff Coleman
