Ah... you've seen the light, glad to hear it and that your new wheels have upped the fun level.
Cracked? I used MDF (sp?) some kinda pressed wood that won't crack, real easy to cut and drill. Fairly cheap $.
Nice color choice! Reminds me of this designer:

biffsk8er: Ricta skate wheels rule!!! (2. Jun. 2009 17:57)
 I just put Ricta skateboard wheels on my skates. Why have I not used skateboard wheels before!! Amazing difference. I never hung up on grinds and / or slides!! I'm a believer. They are far superior to ANY roller skate wheel that I've ever used on vert.

They were lighter, faster, smoother, and easier to slide out of a bad landing, if not landing straight. It could be my imagination, but it seemed I could jump higher as well. I've been wasting my life until I found these bad a$$ wheels! Made grinds a breeze! I learned at least 2 new grinds last night. Also, airing out of the 10 foot bowl was a cinch.

Of course skates would remind Irene of fashionable high heels. Aren't you in the New York area? :P

You'll be waiting a long time.
I only wear those shoes when there are no cameras around.
