<B>Disney Inline Marathon 2008, cancelled?</B>
I couldn't hardly find the Inline marathon listing on the Disney Wide World of Sports site. I had to Google for it:
<A HREF="http://disneyworldsports.disney.go.com/dwws/en_US/endurance/events/deta
il?name=EnduranceInlineMarathon2008EventDetailPage">Disney Inline Marathon 2008,
set for May 4</A>
<P>
This <A HREF="http://inlineplanet.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1340&highlight=disney">thread in Inline Planet forums seem to confirm the cancellation though.
<P>
<B>Question:</B><P>
Has anyone tried the <A HREF="http://www.landroller.com/?skatefaq.com" TARGET="landroller">LandRoller</A> skates yet?
If so, I'd like to know your impressions of it (first-hand experiences only please). Also, if you are into off-road
skates like the Rollerblade Coyotes or <A HREF="http://www.gateskate.com/?skatefaq.com" TARGET="gateskate">Gateskates</A>, etc. or you just love to roll on big huge wheels (what's next after 100mm and 110mm wheels?) let me know too.
<P>
<B>Disney Inline Expo/Marathon coming up April 1-2, 2006</B><P>
