 ...my new skates.

I replaced the Indy 109mm hangars with the 3.0 Krux hangars into their rightful Krux baseplates and that straightened out my see-saw, teeter-totter problem.
Now they are riding fabulously. Much more stable feeling and it didn't take long to get used to the wide trucks. They weigh just under 4 pounds, slightly less than my old setup. The wheelbase is about 1 inch longer. Carving on these, you can really lean into it and the trucks can be alot looser now, too.
Thanks to everyone for the inspiration and motivation to get this done.
Keep on rollin'

 SWEEEEEEETNESS! What did you use to trim the plates? So are you sliding all over the pool coping now?

This year must be a year for LOVE!!!! I love my new job, thats amazing! I love my skates to death! I put stoppers on them and I really love them! I figured there is no way in hell I will get out of a bowl without them. I love the harder smaller wheels. I put my old ones on today and they were slow and bulky, slow to accelerate, heavy and awkward. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE bowl riding, woo-hoo! I'm in total love...............awwwwww shux! Wow, who woulda thought that life would get so good for me?

Hey Irene, can you send me a NYC sticker sometime? Thats cool!

my trusty old plug-in-the wall jigsaw.
i ordered the same plastic you used for your sliders. it's so easy to stall now, they are wide and stable and slide easier than the metal grindbars, but i want to detune the 90 degree angle (outside edges of the sliders). daniel said it would help. great news about your job, it sounds fun. email me your address, so you can get your sticka!

 Great info! I like those retro boots. $30 is a steal. I need to check to see if they have my size.
