I don't understand why we can get the RB Twisters in the States! With Skate sales being as flat as the media reports you would think that RB would at least try and market them here to see how it would sell. Who knows, Freeskating cold take off in the States and be as popular as in Europe. People are always looking for the next cool thing.

I agree. I don't really understand the reason behind the releasing some skates there here and not there or vice versa.

The industry as a whole is down. Thankfully our business at IW is way up, but I imagine it is because there are fewer players than there used to be.

Even worse, is that as things start picking up, they run out of skates. It is May, and we can't even re-stock many of the 2005 models already. Then they wonder why the industry is down.

Very frustrating. Thanks for the post !!
