New skates = new wheels. Specifically, I got hard wheels. It is awesome!
I really really thought that buying new gear was kinda silly. I am a beginner, so how much difference would better gear make?
Answer: a lot of difference.
I haven't had the girls out on the track yet. I've been skating around my kitchen and garage, but see now how much extra effort I was putting I to just propelling myself forward. I can watermelon around without feeling like my hips are getting sucked out of their joints.
I can even (gasp) T-stop! A bit. On one leg. If I am going very slowly. T even sometimes makes that cool grinding noise.
I can't wait to get these bad boys out on the track. I'm ready to be a rock star.
