I completely agree with this!!

I bought the 38mm/95a (small & hard) Jukes, and I love them to pieces. I used to skate on pink Shamans, but now I'm a small wheel convert!

They feel oh so much lighter than the aluminium hubs that I'm used to, so I feel like I can pick my feet up a whole lot more. And while being hard and narrow, they still grip really well - we train on a dusty polished concrete rink. And the acceleration is exactly what everyone is saying... they pick up speed very quick! Perfect for fake-outs, cross-tracks, and even starting off the whistle faster than anyone else.

I haven't really noticed any problems with needing more endurance to keep rolling... I don't find that I have to adjust my stride at all, and get just as much roll as the bigger wheels. Or maybe these are just so light that I'm not noticing any change that saps my endurance.

Highly recommended for jammers and blockers!

Co-Ed Bout in Ft Smith Arkansas

In an attempt to grow the sport of roller derby and possible jumpstart the growth of a men's team in Ft. Smith, AR, the River Valley Roller Girls hosted a co-ed mash up bout on 1/30/10. Participating leagues were the GateKeepers (10) and the Arch Rival Roller Girls (2) from St. Louis while the remaining skaters were from the Ft. Smith area. The skaters were divided into the Red and Black teams, Black took an early lead and didn't look back. With some big hits and fast action, this bout surprisingly contained many first time men bouters from Ft. Smith as well as from St. Louis. The action was closer than the scoreboard showed. When it was all over the Black team won by a score of 120-49. Magnum, p.i.m.p. and Downtown Dallis were named male and female MVPs for the Black team and Boba and Vanilla Slice were named male and female MVPs for the red team. A great night of derby that will hopefully be the start of several guys derby careers.
