Made in Mississauga: Instant Gratification, Nice Suit, Josh Wood Video

Made in Mississauga: Instant Gratification: This is really cool stuff; Eric Gee is just about finished making his boots. I have the feeling thast this is the first ever pair of speed skating boots ever made in Mississauga- my hometown. Eric has a couple of more things to do to the boots including sewing the cuff, which will lower the boots by about 1 inch, and covering the carbon fibre in a plastic coating (the shiny coating on your boots) which serves to protect the carbon fibre from UV rays. Eric has some interesting plans, and I hope I can unveil some of them on my site later in the future, but for now, Eric will be testing the boots on ice.

10 Years in the Making: I'll never forget the day I wanted to kill Eric Gee. Back in 1995, Aaron Arndt, Eric Gee, and I were in Wayne Burrett's van on our way down to Detroit for a race (I think it was an NPC race). Eric was in the front seat and I was in the back listening to my walkman. I decided to look at Eric and I found him with my Simmon's Typhoon boot, with his hand squeezed inside the boot through a hole on the side of the skate. I was furious! I said 'What the hell are you doing to my boots' and Eric replied something like 'Peter, you'r awesome'. I'm kidding, Eric said something to the effect that he was examining how the boots were made... Well, I ended his examination. He now had this 'dream' of making a boot. More than a decade later, he's done it. Way to go Hip Hop! EDIT: This actually hapenned at my house- I was corrected- In the van, Eric was checking out a copy of Speed Skating Times and trying to figure out how bootes were made

Looking Good on the trail: Isn't the model in this article on the Inline Planet just the cutest thing? Or maybe it's the outfit that makes her look good? I don't know, but I want one of them (not a model, I already have my own; it's the outfit that I want).
