Yeah the rink at Oak Flats reopened about 1 1/2 years ago now. You should get your skates together and come down to Berkeley netball courts and start training ![]()

Sitting here and it raining so......
I got back into speed because I'd done most sports but could not find the thrill or challenge speed offered. Eventually i could not wait, told the boys we were learning speed, pack your bags. Unfortunately, it will definitely struggle if people don't get off their ass, its a tough sport and requires immense dedication but so rewarding and fun at the same time. Heres a list of things speed has to offer 1. Speed - without complicated gears/or motor 2. Race tactics/skill - Formula 1/track cycling/athletisism 3. Individual sport but team environment. 4. Gadgets galore and not too bulky- easy transport 5. Multiple specialisation 6. Diffrent tracks/venues both indoor and outdoor. 7. Freedom 8. Great body etc etc can't say the same for golf but played that too and don't hate it. Just got the speed thing at the moment and got to flog this tired pony one more time. However, i have one key thought recently. MODERATION/BALANCE, you need to balance your skating with life/family, so at some piont I need to train less and spend more time on family issues. So some years my results have been better than others and its all reflected in the equation. More golds-less family-less money. So i guess, don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed and try to enjoy every moment. Don't take people the wrong way either. |

In our area in Germany I join sometimes Skate-Nights. One of the skaters asked me if I would be intrested to join the early sunday morning speedtraining which they have during the wintertime.
Today I could manage it to be at 8:00 am at the Rollsporthalle Darmstadt. There is a banked track but I dont know how long the track is. Anyway, it was the first time of my life I skated on a indoor banked track and it was exiting. I mounted some indoor-wheels from the 90ties with 97a 60 mm and I was suprised how well they rolled. Of course I was the only quadskater there, but with those wheels I was in the average of the group. Some was slower, some faster. Trainig was instructed by Guenter and Silke. Guenter was a former German Champion on quads and former Trainer of the German National Team. http://www.eins30.de/wiw2.htm Sorry that I have no photos of the group skating bec. I was to busy.... ![]() ![]() ![]() All Photos Johannes Last edited by yedaki_de; January 9th, 2011 at 05:06 PM. |
