I wear a contact lens in one eye for close-up vision and a lens in the other eye for distance vision. This setup works just fine for everyday life, but when I skate with those lenses, I feel like my depth perception is a little bit off. http://inlineskating.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.about.com%2Fab-inlineskate%2Fmessages%2F%3Fmsg%3D676.1 Training Your Body to Skate Without Water Is it possible to train your body not to need water?

We use a special tool to generate these HTML newsletters, and evidently the tool choked on something in that section. Here is the missing note from last week, and a new one for this week (please cut and paste the following URLs into your browser to view the pages): A NOTE FROM KATHIE - APRIL 14 A photo of a quad roller skater doing a very cool trick, a new inline marathon in Italy, some URL changes for skating Web sites, and something fun. http://inlineskating.about.com/library/bl-nl-note200115.htm A NOTE FROM KATHIE - APRIL 07 (last week's note) Photos of me skating behind a Power Ski and buying my new Hypno Skates. Plus something fun - fishing for squirrels! http://inlineskating.about.com/library/bl-nl-note200114.htm
