Inline Planet Articles: The Inline Planet has posted a pretty cool review of a gadget that I’d like to get my hands on: Adeo Fitness Trainer. You can buy me one if you like, I don’t mind at all. Another article recently posted on the Inline Planet is Eight Rules for Trail Skating.

A Little Bit Of Ice: Andrew Love posted about John Dimon recently celebrating his 50th birthday. John runs a sweeeeet skate shop just outside of the Olympic Oval in Lake Placid. Even though I haven't been to Lake Placid in over a year, John's shop is one of my favourite place to be in- I can just sit there and take in the smell, listen to the sound of the cars driving by, hear the sweeter sound of skates being sold, look at the posters and equipment- it's a good place to be, for you and for me, JD's skate shop, just a skip and a hop, away from the oval, go there I will, skate lap after lap, and then take a nap, in JD's store, I wish there were more.
