Note: Seriously, sorry for all the text. I'm grumpy.
I ordered a pair of Riedell 1500HLS skates last week (on the 13th) and when I went to the shop today to inquire about how long it would take for them to come it because it turns out they are backordered I was told they wouldn't be at the shop until MARCH 20!!! Gah!
While most of this is my fault for waiting to long to order new boots I'm really down about it because the longer it takes for them to come in the longer it will be before I can work on a lot of the moves I've learned.
Basically, I have Gold Stars now and they are so broken down that no matter how tightly I lace them are still loose. I know they are broken down and I know I need new ones I'm just grumpy because I wont have them until the middle of March.
I think I may take my blades and have them mounted on a pair of beginner Riedell boots that I have here just for the next few weeks.
If you read the whole way through this, you are a saint.
