I skated last night on my original pair of skates (Riedell 265 boots, standard nylon 10 degree plates). It took a few laps to get used to them again....but then I felt like I was a lot better at juking. Like, I could actually do it. It's weird. The trucks were looser (I keep them cranked pretty stiff on my now skates) so maybe that had something to do with it.
At one point I was jamming in a drill, took a shoulder to my lower jaw and bit my tongue hard enough to make it bleed in two places. Whee! It wouldn't stop bleeding, either, so I kept having to spit out blood into my bandana. (delicious!) It's better now, but it stings like a mofo still.
