Skate skiing 2 days in a row. That has hapenned like never for me. I have been skating (poorly) since ‘91. I have never really had a lesson I just try to copy people. The result is my form is pretty bad and I get my ass kicked by old ladies. Well yesterday Abby was giving Rachel some pointers and I figured out one of the many things I am doing wrong. Sweet. I am still slow but getting more efficient. That is one of the things I love/hate about this sport. Even after 16 years I am still learning.

I got a pair of black Doc Martens and if you have ever had them you know they are mega painfull until they get broken in bit soo sweet when they are. Anyway I have discovered that the break in goes must fast if you wear really thick socks. So there ya go, more useless info.

So you’re slow and you are still doing 3 main loops to my two. I really must love humiliating myself!

Where did you get your DMs? I’ve been looking for a pair of the classic 4-eye Gibsons with the thin soles (like the ones you have pictured), rather than the big chunky lugged soles, for a couple years, and haven’t been able to find them.

Aalberg took xc skis to the top of the Pfiefferhorn.

When are you going to man up & get off the groomers?

I miss my classic 8-hole patent leather, 4-hole steel-toe combat sole black, and 3-hole blue suede docs. Alas, I could not part with my hardcore 20-eye steel toe docs. I was going to race a cross race in the latter, but then I’d have to start racing again.

Yes, they were all a bitch to break in, and the steel toed ones were the worst.
