Boots: spacing for frame mounts by Gavin Thulien and Carl Britney
|
|
Until the 2005 season there was one dominant
standard for mounting boots to frames for speed
skates and advanced fitness skates. Recently,
another spacing size has been emerging on the
market. This spacing is based on the needs of the
new larger wheel inline speed frames.

A message from Alex Perrie
"With the high cost of travel and lodgings it is
essential that we as an inline skating community rally
around the athletes who have made the commitment
to represent our country this year. We have
made a top of the line heavy quality tee with our
World Team logo. You can be proud to wear it
knowing you have contributed towards a worthy
cause for or sport and athletes. The shirts are $15
CDN and for every shirt sold $5 will go directly to our
World Team members' expenses."
Please send us an e-mail
now to order yours! OISC will place a bulk order
for Ottawa distribution.
