 Thats great! I just rolled today really for the first time in a week due to injury. It was amazing! I was so happy!! With wide trucks first time too. I dont know why I was afraid of wider trucks now. They are 5 1/2" from wheel to wheel wide and I can do crossovers and all, no wheel clipping. Cant wait to try them on the ramps in a few days! I love the way they feel, no problems turning either so far.

Glad you had a good day rollin too! Look forward to more cool pictures!

 Hello, I think it is strange how Europe and the U.S. are always on different wave lengths. I grew up skating skateparks between 1979-1983. I then found backyard ramps, but it was not easy and it did not last. I think in twenty years I only skated for about two. I did find a skatepark in 1991, which was the Mike McGill skatepark in Oceanside California. I was the only rollerskater and did run into my mentor Paul Votava and that was when I was on inline skates. I travelled Europe and there were public parks everywhere. I did skate in Madrid and wonder if it was the same park. There were tennis courts and a running track. I took the bus in this foreign land and met some amazing rollerskaters. This place had an amazing capsule pool and a great bowl. I remember thinking how amazing Europe was because kids could skate and nobody worried about lawsuits. I even had the opportunity to skate the Munster Bowl, which was huge. Now, the U.S. has all kinds of public skateparks and most are free. I only wish I skated Europe on my quads. Now the kids have it so good, but they don't appreciate it. I had an awesome time in Madrid and my best time was in Marseille France. I ended up staying for two weeks and learned a McTwist. I am so happy to get to skate again, but feel like I missed out on so much. These kids need so much schooling, but as a rollerskater I have learned to keep to myself. I look back at the old days and realize I should have followed my dreams. It is pretty hard to be 38 and skate like you did when you were twelve, but I am enjoying every minute. I skated Portugal, Belguim, France, Gemany, Spain, and many others. It was an amazing experience, but I wish it were on quads. It's all good because we all have a second chance. Too bad our bodies can't handle the abuse. When I was in Europe I saw the best rollerskaters ever. Great memories.

 I skated an amazing park in Madrid many years ago. It had a huge capsule and nice bowl. I met some cool quad skaters there and we had a blast. I wonder if it was the same place. It seems the U.S. is now the place for skateparks. WE all went through a dry spell for about ten years. I had to show up at people's backyards and just hand out until they said I could skate. I put on my skates real fast as they looked at me weird and did a quick flip and they were cool. Good thing I don't have to prove myself now a days.
