wheels
hey, i'm looking around for new wheels for my skates, the ones i'm using now are nearly finished and when i went to the shops this afternoon they asked me 7euro's a wheel! (thats 7dollar50 from the top of my head)
standard kryptonics, is that normal?!
otherwise, does anyone know a good shop for me to get any on-line?

thanks in advance

btw. side stance is going better now 've since been streching my leg-muscles on my skates and on my shoes, still finding it hard to get speed in the stance..

Try Lisa ( rollergirl@rollergirl.ca ). She might be able to give you a better deal.

Sidestance Suggestion: Learn to gyrate small circles, using the rear foot to propel yourself... gradually larger circles into comfortable speed into straight line....yeah

 tnx,
i emailed lisa and she said she wouldn't have wheels for much cheaper than the ones i found(and then the international shipping costs..), so i'm just waiting for when i have some extra money to spend in a week or two.

but this sunday i'll be leaving for london for a week, so i was wondering if someone knew a good shop in london that sells rollerkstae supplies so i could just check that out and maybe, just maybe find something a little cheaper.

it'd be great if someone knew a name & adres of something like that!

tnx for your time

There's http://www.kateskates.co.uk/shopfront.asp

The site can be a little confusing. Click on the rollerskates tab, then scroll down the menu on the left for wheels.

Perhaps not in London but a gold mine:
