Dear Everyone,
Of course, changing your wheels is fine, but I prefer to have skates set up for all eventualities: The rink, the ramp, and the road. Actually, I would add the porch, too, because I like my trucks a little sloppier (looser) in small spaces, and I like them tight when things are faster, rougher, scarier.
I thought I was doing all right with six pairs of skates, but I sold one, and so that leaves only five, and really, I don't wear two of my pairs of skates much at all, because I have become so used to the heel on my high boot skates. What is reasonable, you might ask? Well, six used to feel that way. Many years ago I saw an image of skate's sofa, with many pairs, maybe nine, under it. Recently, I saw an image online of a shelf with over 12 pairs. I mean to say, I feel pretty puny about my 5 now. Is 12 my new goal for reasonable?
I have always loved the way these look, and these, and these, and now there are these, too. Would I want to add these? Or some of these? Just like Betsy Ray, in the Betsy-Tacy Books, I dearly love the 'choosing.'
