She has an ornery and demanding 8 year old in her head too? lol.
OK, I rolled 20 mins yesterday, easy tho, until I felt tightness then I stopped and OK today. But the unicycling I felt it after 5 mins. so still waiting on that. But rollerskating was awesome, Woo-hoo! I think my PT was just being ornery herself!

I hope Karens problem is temporary? Best wishes for her! I hope my hamstring is OK soon as in 6 weeks I have no insurance again. :-(

 Ok, I will make this two posts in one. I just bought a bearing press and it is absolutely amazing. I don't know about the rest of you, but I have so much trouble getting my bearings to fit right in my wheels. I use SPF's, which are known for being difficult to put bearings in. It is an amazing tool and only cost $42 with shipping. I put new bearings in my new wheels and it took just a couple of minutes.

Ok, so here are some pics. My photography sucks at night, but pics are always goood.

 Man, you got some really good action shots there. Nice work.

I am using the Bones SPF's as well right now, 60mm narrow. I wanted a larger diameter but the 62's were only available in wide, and I really wanted narrow wheels. The bearings are a tight fit in those wheels, the urethane is pretty frickin hard! A press would make things so much easier.

Karen is shown wearing a helmet in one of those pics. Was she rolling on anything?

 I am currently riding 54mm, but have a set of 62's I am putting on tomorrow. I pretty much buy whatever is on sale. Karen was watching. That park makes you wear a helmet if you are inside the park.

 Karen is not supposed to skate because of a spine injury. Sometimes she can't help herself. She didn't skate at the Cove. One ride at Rollercon hurt her for three days! She sais it was totally worth it!

 I love those insane looking characters in photo #9.

One looks crazed, one snarky, and one looks totally amused by the world.

Do you have your pics posted online anywhere? If so, let me know.

Cheers!
