Hi Samantha,
thanks for the valuable info you provided :) I am just wondering
that how come skating is not included in the olympics?(not refering winter
olympics) Is it because no one is enthu enough to push the sport up or is it
olympic comm doesnt approve of the sport? How come most of the governing
entities focus more on roller and not the upcoming figure inlines which has been
around for quite some time? (at least 4 years) Sorry to bother you with so much
queries but just wondering if anyone has the same burning thoughts as mine :)
Would be wonderful if you can, again, provide me with answers :) Thanks a
million :)

Regards,
Fai
PS: By the way, does anyone have any video clips of inline figure skating
competitions beside the ones on holidayonlines?
