Chris,

Sorry to hear about your shoulder and that it will require surgery. I do think that you will be ok and back skating soon though. My MRI shows a broken lower left tibia. The fragment is floating around and often causes trouble. I don't have insurance and will be living with the foot/lower leg as is. Good luck on your surgery and see you soon.

Xootr wheels
On 7/24/2006 Adam wrote in from United States  (198.144.nnn.nnn)

I've got a Xootr Street (CNC machined aluminum deck) with the optional low rolling resistance wheels, and I'm not sure I'd bet on it against a skateboard equipped with Lime ZigZags. I've never done a head-to-head gravity test though.. the above is just based on feeling/memory. I've also got a set of amber-colored 83mm ABEC11's and I was never impressed with their roll.

der soap box
On 7/23/2006 duane wrote in from United States  (4.238.nnn.nnn)

chris has already made 'thane soap box tires

bob you will find that $29 black Xootr wheels will be much faster than 101 Abecs, due to the larger diameter (175mm)

you are right, pnuematics are not that fast unless you really prep them well

Flywheels Break Soap Box Record
On 7/21/2006 Bob Swartz wrote in from United States  (69.255.nnn.nnn)

A little news flash for ya. This week is the All American Soap Box Derby in Akron Ohio. This year they are featuring an "Unlimited Class" and they threw out alot of the rules to see what people could come up with. With lots of discussion and theorizing Dr Mechanic John ? and Justin Crenshaw decided to gamble on "small wheels" that we use on luge. We knocked it around in our heads a little and I (Blue Smoke)decided to sponsor the team a set of ABEC11 75a 101mm for the 300lbs car. The car's driver is 16 year old Miss Maryland Teen America 2006 Danna Thomas.

Justin just called and told be that they smoked the time trials and broke the track record while the other teams with the tall expensive German pneumatic tires were left to scratch thier heads..... This experiment was a major untested gamble and it looks to be working. As Chris will tell you "It's all in the formula" Rebound Baby!!!! So Chris are you ready to make "thane" soap box tires??? The real race and test comes this weekend. here is a pict of the time trials.

Earring components can be made out of any number of materials, fashion jewelry including metal, glass, precious stones and beads. custom rings Earring designs can range from small loops or studs to large plates or dangling items. rings Earring size is generally limited by the physical capacity of the earlobe to hold the earring without tearing. jewelry People who habitually wear heavy earrings may find that over time, fashion jewelry the earlobe and piercing stretch jewelry and wedding http://search.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/search/results.pl?q=natalia+diamond&tab=web

Fair Warning
On 7/5/2006 Dave Mitchell wrote in from United States  (69.30.nnn.nnn)

Chris, you are venturing into the land of Paul Howard on RedBull I hope you have a plausible reason for not marketing your bushings without packaging. And I have heard rumors of your packaging, sounds interesting and admirable. But as I posted earlier this year, if you didn't start offering them to the public I would sic a Red Bull influenced Pauliwog on you. Seeing as how you, Red Bull and Paul will be in Hood River at the same time.... chances are you will hear his discourse on trucks, axles and bushings fueled by caffeine. Be prepared.

Oh yeah, Paul anything I've mentioned about you not drinking caffeinated beverages is not in effect for the next week. Drink up!!

See you in Hood River.
