at the moment I have been hiring stuff from Jo but the stuff is not so good...
mystery ball bearings starting falling out of the skates last week? lord knows from where.

Anyway I am super poor, because I work in a school, and get paid squat..


SO...was wondering if anyone has any of the falling to sell


-Riedells [or other good starter skates] size 6
-starter wrist guards
-starter elbow pads
-helmet


I don't have a great amont of money, not enough to buy new equipment, but enough to buy stuff second hand. I'd also bring you a quiche on the 21st or a beautiful card or mix-cd as an extra thankyou!

yesyes?

Hi Lenny, why don't you PM Miss Sinnocent, she did offer her old skates and they're R3...worth a try, Rx

I wish I could help. . I became a little 'wide eyed' when I was costing everything up for my kit! Have you considered ebay? I remember you saying that Father Christmas was going to get you some derby gear, so perhaps you could 'make do' with a pair of those really cheap skates that turn up on ebay in the meantime. I also remember picking up the ball bearings from your skate wheels last Thursday! Not good ....

As a bit of a side note: I wonder if its possible to set up a 'virtual newbie shop' where more experienced or retired skaters getting rid of their old starter kit can sell it on to hard-up newbies. I was extremely lucky and got my R3's for less than half price because someone who had just quit was selling on her stuff ... for which I am very grateful!

these might be too big but maybe if well cheap you could wear extra socks?

have you asked the kit bitch to maybe repair the skates you are borrowing?

a friend of mine recently managed to pick up some speed skates in a charity shop for a tenner (which I thought was shocking _and_ impressive) so they're worth a look as well.

ill do charity shops!
holy moly those ebay ones are so cheap and so good.
also i dont know how to pm people on this. i tried to pm someone and it didnt work! how do i pm Miss Sinnocent?
I was supposed to get skates from father christmas, but because i am so poor I had my flights home bought for me [france]. sad times.

Lenny, I might be able to help with some cheap skates if you PM me. There should be a box at the end of this post with 'PM' on it. Just click that and you should be able to send a message.

HAVE JUST NOTICED SOME SECOND HAND, SIZE 6, RIEDEL VANDALS ON EBAY. CURRENTLY AT £11.50

im all over it

Lenny,are you french?????

no, my mum ran away there as soon as i turned 18.
why? you want me to bring home some king cake after christmas oui?

Do they do king cake in france too?! In spain they do rosca de reyes, and i would kill for a slice!

I'm going to bring a bunch back from france for my brothers and marcus' family, so i will make sure to bring you some back. the little toys in the king cake are odd though....like rabbit kings and stuff!

mmmm cake......
