Let us use the correct term 'in-line skater' so we don't have such mistakes;-> Just as a sidenote, in my skating experience beginners and advanced were safely equiped. It was the intermediate that negelected wearing safey gear. I would never skate without a helmet and wristguards, tore a helmet up in one crash- did break (or rebreak from the first)ribs a few times. Seems like a little (or very little) knowledge is a very bad thing. Maybe there should be a factor for this- as I get more experienced, I see more potential for mishap, a shift from the fear factor. -- : : Gabriel L Romeu : http://studiofurniture.com furniture from the workshop : http://members.xoom.com/gabrielR life as a tourist, daily journal : http://users.aol.com/romeugp paintings, photographs, etchings, objects *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Nov 11 1999 - 18:10:50 PST
