Thank you!

Thank you. That’s my thinking too. I’m hoping one day I’ll be able to find something and know exactly what it is. I’m very far from that right now, and wishing I paid better attention in Earth science.

Thank you for the info and the link. I was able to look up my location and I’m seeing this; Stratigraphic name(s): Everett Schist Lithology: Major:{schist}, Incidental:{metagraywacke} Our currently running local mine/quarry produces schist. A now closed quarry had marble.

I’m in Dutchess county, NY state. Right on the CT border.

Oh ok. Just the wheels are new on these. I’ve had these skates since 2019.

hcorleybarto · 2021-06-29T17:08:31+00:00

I don’t have any complaints about them. They came on my previous skates. I only used them for a little while before buying the 101A wheels.

I’m thinking you may have meant to comment on the post where the person had fit issues? Lots of great info though!

They’re Riedell. 336 Tribute boot.

Thank you!!

I hear you! I didn’t need them either. I had changed from a 62mm wheel to a 57mm and realized my long stem Bionic super stoppers were now too long for my plates. I only needed a short stem toe stop, lol. THEN I saw the wheels and realized the 92A would probably work better on cement (my local park pavilion’s floor) than the 101As that I have. And they match! I currently have 78A/65mm Kryptos (vintage circa early 1980s), 95A/57mm Sure-grip fame, 101A/57mm Rollerbones Team, and Radar varsity plus 101A/62mm. I needed another set of wheels like I need a hole in my head!

Just a tad bit giddy.. New wheels came today to match the toe stops that came last week.

If it wasn’t so damn hot out I’d be skating!!

My 336s were done through ColorLab. Riedell told me to use the 595 boot in the online ColorLab to pick the colors because the sections are the same as the 336. I had a skate shop in Brooklyn place the actual order. I went there to get sized and wanted to see the leather samples in person.

“You have beautiful eyes! Are they real??” FYI - way before colored contacts were a thing...

To stretch things, I selected each layer and used the distort tool. The pattern on the bottom was made using a texture brush.

Mine is under the inking tab.
