[SkateDC] Tempted by Inlinewarehouse.com

[Bill English]

Any of you familiar with the Rollerblade Fusion 7? It is an "urban" skate with 90mm wheels and a supportive hard/soft boot. I almost bought it tonight until my wife came to look over my shoulder. $250. Could not find any reviews of it, but the video and the description at inlinewarehouse.com made it look good, and they have it in my exact size which is a minor miracle (13.5). I have not seen large-size Rollerblades in half sizes much. I keep trying different old skates from my collection but none of them seem quite right since my favorite Solomons broke. I have become slower and I am blaming my skates, preferring not to blame my body! The video shows nice street scenes from New York and much irresponsible skating action such as riding a truck bumper and going without protective equipment.
