Site Suggestions For Iw

[IW Staff]

I thought I would throw it out to folks to see what they would like or be interested in us carrying on the IW site that we already don't.

More speed skates?
Shoes ? (which ones)
Accessories? (what types - glasses, watches)

Any input would be appreciated.

Speed Skates:
More skates like K2 Recon MSL, Powerslide R4/R2/C4, etc... & possibly custom components, boots (Bont, Mogema, Powerslide, Hyper), bigger selection of frames, etc...

Accessories: Definately a bigger selection of frames, how about heart monitors, GPS training aids (such as Garmin Forerunner 201/301), hydration packs(such as Camelbak), ezeefit ankle booties (http://www.ezeefitsports.com/) (help cut down on bilsters!), etc...

I was going to suggest the exact same things as Chaos far as accessories go.

Heart monitors would be ideal. In fact, I need a new one and would have purchased it here since I was already placing an order, but had to go elsewhere since none were offered. Same goes for GPS.

Also, more apparel in general. I'm new to inline, but in general I find apparel to be one of the biggest necessaties in fit and active lifestyle. If you have the right gear, you feel good, go out a lot, and really go for it. If you don't you end up feeling stressed, spending a lot of time too wet, or too cold, or too hot and generally being improperly ventilated.

Basically, I'd love to find a site that was a 1-stop shop for ALL the possibilities related to inline. Gimme the skates, the upgrades, the gadgets, the clothes, glasses, etc and I'd be pretty exclusive to that 1 place.

By the way, I took both of your advice and got the skates you recommend. Placed the order yesterday. K2 EXO 6.0 for myself and K2 Athena 6.1 for the wife. Can't wait to get my roll and swerve on. Just hope I nailed the fit the 1st time.

Thanks

Great input. Heart monitors are on the way. We'll be getting deeper into speed skating as well. K2 and RB are somewhat limited in that respect. Bont is a long way from us and warranty issues and stuff are challenging. Tried that before. Roces remains difficult being consistent enough to be able to service customers with. Any other brands you would like to see?
