Another praise for InlineX

When my birthday was coming up my wife asked me what I wanted. While I was tempted to ask for a three way with one of her friends, I decided to err on the side of caution and tell her I wanted some rollerblades for cruising. I've been using my Them 901s with the Ground Control HD 80 frames, putting some miles on them every week. After watching some reviews, I had my heart set on the Rollerblade Twister 90r. They'd be a size increase to 90mm with a rockered frame. Months went by and none of my usual stores in the US had my size in stock. I saw another guy here bought from InlineX out of Singapore. Sure enough, they had what I desired. My Excalibur. My huckleberry. I placed my order and my skates were at my door in a week. Yes, the shipping was expensive, but they threw in some free wheels and other stuff to soften the blow. My skates arrived and they've been everything I wanted in a cruiser skate. And I can finally use my Them 901s for aggressive without having to swap out frames.

The coolest wheels [45YO]

I bought these to cruise with my kids. They thought I was the coolest of dads for about 10 minutes. I went around the subdivision with my boy on his board. I wasn't great on a board when I was younger, but I'm having enough trouble moving down the street in my old age. Maybe I'll see if I can still Ollie tomorrow. The reaper can't catch me if I keep moving!

Most comfy elbow pads?

Bladies and gentlemen,

I had today off, the wife is at work, and the kids are with the grandparents. It's a beautiful day so I went to enjoy the skate park about a mile away from my house. I had on a helmet, knee pads, wrist guards, and padded shorts. As luck would have it the one fall I had I hit my elbow. It wasn't that bad of a hit. I didn't bleed. I didn't feel pain past about a minute. While taking a water break it started feeling stiff, so I looked down and a golf ball was growing under my skin. I called it a day and took some ibuprofen. I have some 187 elbow pads, but hate wearing them because they're so uncomfortable. Suggest something that is so comfy I forget they're on. Bonus points if they dry out quick.
