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.  Please send your entries to Tosha Hill This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

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
