Thank you US Junior Nats!!!

My Husband rocks! He works at the airport and happened to help a customer last night....get ready for this....One of the Spiteris from SP Teri. He came in town for the U.S. Junior Nationals, which is being held at my rink this week. My husband told him about me and my skating, so he already knew of me when I stopped by the SP Teri booth tonight. I told him I have unfortunately already ordered Jacksons which will be in next week. But I went ahead and had a fitting done. I learned a lot about skates and breakdown and propper fitting. He gave me some suggestions for my pronation, and they have a custom insole that can be added to the stock boots (ProTeris in this case).

Here's the dilemma: I was fitted for a 6D in Jacksons, though the heel size was not taken into consideration. I have a narrower heel, and I'm afraid my Jacksons are going to fit well in the toes, but slip in the heel. For SP Teri's, I'm a 6B with a C ball. If I have a combination fit in one brand, does that mean I'd have a combination fit in another brand? I know that all boots (like street shoes) are different, but I'm sure there's some similarity in sizing. As for blades, he suggested a few, including the Coronation Ace. I've heard tons of good things about that blade from www.skatingforums.com.

So....If the Jacksons don't fit right, I'm going to try and get a refund and go with SP Teri's. He said he'd keep my info for about a year. Whatever happens, I'm going with the boot that fits best! And maybe I can upgrade when necessary to SP Teris.

I haven't skated for about a week due to work and rink schedule conflicts, but my last skate was amazing! I felt that I had so much power and control with alternating crossovers and edges - especially backwards edges. 3-turns are also happily coming back - both directions! And I did a few good spins. Mohawks are about the same. Still holding off on jumps until I'm out of these darn recreation skates. Sometimes I think skating is 90% Mental. If I think I can't get an element right...welll...I end up messing it up! If I skate with the attitude of "I can do this!" then, I can!

I hope you Jacksons fit- it's so hard when you second guess yourself.

I just went from a B width competitor to the D width competitor. I can tell my toes aren't being squished anymore when I am off ice, but strangely, on ice- it doesn't feel any different. My heel slipped in the B width, and does in the D width, but I am experimenting with different paddings to make that stop. If I ever buy new boots I will get customs or split widths. (The D-width was a used skate- CHEAP).

That's cool to have a a "real" fitting though!

Всем привет!

Недавно перед мной встала задача, куда деть накопишиеся [b]европоддоны[/b], или еще их называют [b]Паллеты[/b],
[b]Поддоны[/b], [b]Европаллет[/b]ы Размеры 800*1200, 1000*1200- Это [u]Тара Пром назначения[/u].
Немного предистории.
Сам я тружусь кладовщиком на складе. Нам приходит много продукции на [b]Европоддонах[/b],
товар продаем а поддоны остаются, у нас встал вопрос куда их девать.
Раньше мы их выкидывали.
Потом я узнал, что за поддоны можно получить деньги.
Начал обзванивать фирмы везде были цены маленькие,
потом приятели мне подсказали, что в Челябинске есть такая Фирма "[b]Уралсклад[/b]",
около 10 лет на Рынке Промышленной Тары с хорошей репутацией.
Я нашел их сайт в интернет - [url=http://www.uralsklad.ru]www.uralsklad.ru[/url] и позвонил по тел. +7(351) 233-07-14.
Буквально через час подъехал их представитель, Авто с Логотипом "[url=http://www.uralsklad.ru]Поддоны Челябинск[/url]".
Цены закупочные оказались самые высокие в г. Челябинске.
Все цивилизовано грузчики загрузили [b]Паллеты[/b] ешё и лом поддонов купили, расчитались на месте наличными.
Про другие фирмы я узнавал либо Цены низкие, либо Бракуют много, да и денег от них не дождешься.

Так что если у вас завалялись [b]европоддоны[/b], не торопитесь их выбрасывать, лучше обменяйте их на деньги.

t I think I'm ready to go, I'm ready to ride. Bike checked out well. Now, going on to some general maintenance, when I get back from a ride, especially if it rained or I rode through some muddy terrain or some dirt, I want to do a general cleaning. The 32 oz. Epoch Zoom is one of the best binoculars in the world and have features that include 8x to 15x magnification, 17 mm multistep locking eye relief, variable speed focus and a 273 ft. field of view.. Track your weight on a scale, especially if you do a lot of cardiovascular exercise, like running, swimming or cycling. The scale isn't the most effective method for tracking fat loss, but it can give a rough estimate for many people who want to check their progress in a hurry. Most runners and cyclists can use a scale with relatively high effectiveness, but strength-training builds more muscle than cardio and throws off scale readings. [url=http://www.cyclingcloth.com/]Cycling Cloth[/url] Banned ItemsIn May 2011, FIFA banned players from wearing snoods, a cylindrical piece of cloth worn around the neck in a similar way to a scarf. The ban was implemented after a spate of snood-wearing in the English Premier League and in other European countries. Players argued the garment kept their necks warm, but soccer law-makers pointed to the potential safety problems posed by the snood.CausesWhile cycling, the pressure between your feet and the pedals can cause blood blisters, as can pressure and friction from cycling shoes that are too tight. Your grip on the handlebars is another source of pressure that can prompt blood blister formation. This is more likely in off-road biking, when your hands experience considerable pressure and friction as you grip the handlebars tightly and try to hold them straight. Feel these branches. If they're dry, pull them off the tree. Dig around at the foot of the tree and pull out anything that's dry. TreatmentBruising is a trauma that should be treated as an injury would, with rest, ice, compression and elevation, the RICE protocol. Elevate your calf to reduce the blood flow, which will help it heal. Applying ice will help reduce swelling and pain by constricting the blood vessels. [url=http://www.cyclingcloth.com/]Cycle Jersey[/url] Pull the drapes shut. If it's a cold and windy winter day, do the same. If you're home, but there are rooms you seldom use, do the same. They cost anywhere from $10 to $20. Inflators either will be powered by the cigarette lighter in your car or by batteries. They range in price from $12 to $25. WarningThe primary concern with blood blisters is development of an infection. This is more of a concern once they've been punctured. In fact, the Sports Injury Clinic advises not draining a blood-filled blister. Babies don't need much soap or shampoo, but toddlers will need more as they explore and discover the world. For green ideas for soap, think natural ingredients. Manufacturers like Weleda, California Baby and Burt's Bees all have baby lines that are made from natural ingredients, rather than toxic chemicals.Reinforcement is essential in the longevity of a summer sleeping bag. Look for materials such as synthetics or pertex nylon for the exterior rather than cotton or cloth, which is prone to moisture accumulation and condensation. Reinforced draft collars and zippers will prevent tearing of lightweight fabric---a common pitfall with summer bags.
