Skate shoes work fine for me, but I'm really used to them and I tend not to wear really bulk ones. Anything that gives you traction and is comfortable should be fine.

Oh, it does. Nothing like collapsing on the grass after a twenty minute game of Follow the Leader and feeling every muscle in your body ache with goodness.

I want a game of follow the leader.

Isn't this what they did in that District b13 movie?

Rob - next time you see them, get their names. If one of them is Cory, tell them Zac says hi. :p

I found this article today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Hébert

I've heard a lot about it, but I finally researched it.

Neat stuff.

I'm not going to talk to a bunch of ninjas.
