Now that I am reading around it seems everyone has the whole stiff
thing so I guess I'll just go out on them for 1-2 hours a day for a
week and see how that goes. :D I definatly need some of those pads
too, I'll buy some tomorrow. They can be very shakey and unsturdy
without them. May not help that I am girl and my legs are most
likely smaller than most males, lol.

lol! Hate the ground, I'll keep that in mind. :D I'll tell ya what,
I sure did hate it today, lol. So where do you find graphite lube?
Maybe my boyfriend will know, lol.

Yes I think he is too. :D He's actually pretty young though, you'd
think he'd put it together that these are more than something that
lift you up 1 1/2 - 2 feet. lol. That's okay, once I am use to
everything im gunna go bounce over his car! LOL! (he has one of
those tiny ones that's like barely 4 feet off the ground too, haha.)
