RSO Indoor Speed Series #1, Eric Gee's New Boots: The Video

RSO Indoor Speed Series: The first race of the series took place earlier today at the Scooter's Roller Palace in Mississauga. Despite a significant lack of support, the today's race provided skaters with a great opportunity to showcase how hard they have worked and also a chance to learn the rules of racing.

Eric Gee's New Boots: The Video: Eric Gee came to practice after the RSO race today sporting his brand new boots that he made! They look good and they work. Eric made the boots low-cut and build a lot of support in the fore-foot. After skating on them for about a hour, he said that he was pleased with the comfort and he was surprised how supportive the boots really are.
