Damn am I rusty. I bought my Pilot's today, I feel like a duck in them. And man are they FAST. I took a few strides in them, and decided to buy the 50 (fucking) dollar brake for them. I definitely need to ride in them a lot more, as they are super uncomfortable at this point. It felt good to get up to a speed again. No where near full speed, but cruising. I'm sure I have a long fun road ahead of me.

*edit - day after*

Damn these things are fast!! Just "cruising" speed is fucking flying! I haven't crashed yet (hopefully it stays that way), and I'm starting to get a feel for the brake more. When I first took them out, it felt like it wasn't doing much at all. They are starting to feel much better too, I guess they need to be broken in like any other shoe. I rode up and down a portion of the lakefront last night. It was pretty tough the way down, as I was fighting a headwind the whole way there and there are a few uphill patches near Navy Pier. The way back was a blast!! I just hunkered down and flew. These skates make it so easy to go fast, once you get up to speed, it doesn't take much at all to maintain that speed. It felt so good to get out there again, I'm going to be doing that a lot more!
