A dingbat with a skimbat! ;)
Nice lot! I gotta blow the dust off the 5.5 wingbat and find a lot like that. What are you rolling on? Hockey skates? Wheels look small 76-80mm?
I might try the 100mm Bont speedskates for stability, but will lose the agility. I started ice sailing on hockey skates and it would all fall apart at around 25-30mph. Switched to 21" blade Nordic skates and smooth sailing.

Hockey skates :yes: wheels started off at 72/80mm but get nuked in the hot summer, fat arse and high speeds :D they end up little more than hubs. Reminds me, I gotta buy some more - at $10 each :o might have to check out eBay ...!
I personally would want more ankle support but that's me ...
We used to play indoor hockey at a full size rink in NZ with the special coating on the floor - damned fast, as hard as you pump you just GO! but when the wind picks up, the Kitewing just nails ... scares the buhjezus out of me :lol:

Looking forward to getting out with the Coyotes eh :)

Nicely done! That kid was really busting a move :D

Jaymz, the photo is haunting for for a former NYC skater. Even the chick next to you looks familiar. I could almost pick out the corner...

Yea, gotta try the coyotes on tarmac.....Slower, but should have good stability.
Angus, You only have a week to get airfare for the 2010 Big Apple Roll Aug. 6-8. Come join the fun and you just might find that corner....and the chick. ;)

way to go KK.

here's the guy i used for my inline speed stuff. all the way down for 80 for $3 ea.

explore 80 is decent wheel . eddy matzger got me on E's some time ago. he has this place now called the "the farm" east coast skate hill training spot, PENN i think. i think cali has the best hill training. 5 miles straight UP.

i like 84 /90, never jumped to 100/110

at one point he had deals like 1.50 ea and certainly worth a smokin' session in the wind!

nic pic NYC, BAR very cool

Way to go Kamikuza!!!
Have the same problem with my inlines on tarmac. Beyond a certain speed, they start shaking and woobling. Coyotes fixed the problem by sacrificing some speed (or is it my idea??? :puzzled:)
