Zorg, my speedskates, question
Oh thats real cool! But isnt getting lost how you get into shape lol? Thats how I got fast as a runner cause I was always taking the long route. :-P

I hope when you take it on the ramp, you go 100 mph!!

: It's my Christmas present from my wife!! From satellite signals, GPS enables me to track my speed/position along trecks!!! It's good too for never getting lost. I'm not sure of the result, but I Will try it on ramp to estimate max speed.... ;-)

: : Wow, whats a GPS? Happy New Year to you too and everyone else!!
: :
: : : Happy new year to you too!!! Enjoy your new job and learn many new cool tricks!!! hopefully no rain here too tomorrow.....to try new wheels AND GPS....
: : :
: : : cheers

: : : : I glued on a 1 cm wooden heel wedge. I thought it felt odd when I stepped on the plate since the wheels are under my ankle bone, I wanted my weight more forward. I should mount them today and hopefully no rain!! THANKS!! Happy New Year!

: : : : : On the following setup, basket shoes are used: they have soft sole and small heel block included, the small added aluminium plate is there to increase the contact area and the skate plate length: http://www.rollerquad.net/index.php?2005/07/03/27-comment-monter-une-paire-de-quad

: : : : : Now for your setup, you can need a heel wedge for 2 reasons:
: : : : : -soccer shoes are curved and have no heel block: so heel block 0.5 to 1cm thick?
: : : : : -for (plate) forward mounted, the plate is often too short as you noticed, the heel block then enables to increase the plate length and add the required support for your shoe.
: : : : : Now as soccer shoes are stiff, and you will not have more than maybe 2-3cm offset on on back of the plate, some plastic/wood/grind heel plate can do it.
: : : : :
: : : : : For you first skating experiment, remember to stand up back bent, head forward. You will probably need to some time (few hours?!) to adapt...... and enjoy hem!!!!!
: : : : :
: : : : : Enjoy!!!
: : : : :
: : : : : Cheers

: : : : : : I finally got all the rubber off and making a forward mount on them. The front raises though since there is no heel. Should I make a heel wedge or no? If so out of what? Seems like it would need to slope. I want to put my skates together Friday or Sat!!
