We will continue with the current format of 3 distances in both Novice and Standard Divisions and Standard Opens. Please, remember, if your skaters are still Novice under USARS rules but have been skating more than 3 years, it was requested at the beginning of the series that those skaters skate their Standard Division and challenge up to the next Standard Division. This will leave the Novice Division open for "rookie" skaters to compete against each other.

Local inline skaters win national awards
Local inline skaters win national awards Aug. 13, 2011 Three young Albany skaters won big recently at the national indoor inline skating championships. Reporter: Jim West Email Address: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
ALBANY, Ga. — Three young local skaters performed well recently against the country’s best competition. In fact, one of them was crowned national champion. Tanner Watts, 10, Jayden Watts, 8, and William Morales, 14, team members of Albany-based GT Speed, recently competed in Fort Wayne, Ind., at the national indoor inline speed skating championships, according to Jason Watts, co-owner of Stardust Skate Center in Albany. Morales captured second place overall in the freshman boys division by outracing 26 others in his class at various stages of the competition. “There were three separate races: short, medium and long,” Watts said. “Wil took first in the short race and second in the medium and long races. It was really close.” Watts said that during awards ceremonies for each category, the top three winners stood on three-tiered medal stands similar to those at the Olympics. Tanner Watts, son of Jason and his Stardust co-owner/wife Cheryl Watts, took sixth place overall in the juvenile boys division. Jayden Watts, Tanner Watts’ younger sister, competed in the primary girls division and placed third overall. Jayden also earned a share of a national championship when she finished first place in the primary 2 mixed competition, where girls and boys skate in relay. Because there was no appropriate partner within the team, Jayden raced with Dawson Cleland, a member of an Atlanta team, Watts said. Also attending the seven-day national competition were GT Speed team members Brendan Farr, 14, and Olivia Farr, 9. The event was hosted by USA Roller Sports. GT Speed is sponsored by Stardust Skate Center and coached by Jason and Cheryl Watts and Bubba Fells. According to Watts, serious skaters practice all year long to prepare for the national competition. In order to qualify, teams and team members must belong to the USARS organization and be one of the top four competitors in the Southern Region championship. The Southern Region comprises skate teams in Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama.
Best Wheels for A2A?
By Bill Begg (Inline Planet)
Hey, Bill: I'm planning to skate the 38-mile distance in the Athens-to-Atlanta Road Skate this year and would like to know what wheel you would recommend. I will take a set of Storm Surges in case of rain, but otherwise I need the fastest and most appropriate wheel for the course. I'll be skating on the 4x90mm Bont Alpha skate. Thanks! - Millie in Wake Forest, NC
