Join me on a skate tour in Florida
I've just learned we still have room for a half-dozen more people on Zephyr Adventures' Florida Skating Adventure, December 12-16. With my pals Gary and Sonya, I'll be guiding folks on the wonderous Withlacoochie, the stupendous J.B.Starkey, the prized Pinellas and more trails along the west coast. From advanced beginners to speed or distance demons, this is one of Zephyr's best-loved tours. So far, I have skated with half the people signed up, and many of those I met on prior Florida tours. Register now and come join me!
Help launch my dream brake*
Update 11/6/2009 - A respected inline manufacturer is sold on the new 4XS disc brake technology but worried about what skaters would be willing to pay for it. I created a one-question survey asking How much extra would you pay for a new pair of skates if they had the 4XS installed? Here are the results so far (see enlarged chart).

Stop smoothly and silently in up to half the distance. It's my dream brake!
