Rollerblading Peachy: It is Nearly Spring! Dust off Your Rollerblades.


It is lousy out today, but yesterday was beautiful!
We must remind you the Twister is the skate to have this spring!  Peachy Deegan was so happy the paths were reasonably clean enough yesterday to rollerblade again in 2011!
And you must be wondering with all of the restaurant reviews just how she managed.  
Well, she was not one minute over her time for her route!
And it has been many months since she last had these on her feet, and many restaurants later as well.  Take a look at our original Twister review!  You need them this spring.

***
It may be raining outside in Manhattan, but that is no reason why you can't Rollerblade inside!  We are pleased to introduce The Twister to you in our inaugural official Rollerblade sneak preview review!  Sneak preview, because of the rain....the beauty of Whom You Know in this situation is that Peachy makes the rules at Whom You Know, so unlike other occupations where you cannot do that, she is seeing how they work inside...we don't recommend them on carpet!  However, until you put the break on them, carpet is perfect.

The Twister is an urban skate that is designed specifically for navigating the city streets.   Smaller wheels and a shorter frame ensure it is maneuverable and the molded shell is highly responsive so you can react quickly to the obstacles that come before you.  This model is calling your name, women of Manhattan!  The higher cuff  is supportive for confident skating.   This one of the best selling skates in NYC, used as a fun green way to get around and avoid using taxis and subways.
Peachy can't wait to try them outside, and she'll keep you posted!

It's a bird!  It's a plane!  It's Peachy, on rollerblades!!!  Watch out Manhattan because now she is faster than ever!!!  

After installing the break:
and telling the rain to stop:
Peachy Deegan put on her rollerblades on the East Side paths by the river and we must say she was even quicker than the cars, and that's not only when they were in stop and go traffic.  We cannot think of anything more fun than Rollerblading all over Manhattan in this brand new model!!!  The Twister 80 will make you fast as the wind and everyone will be eating your dust!  

If you don't know how to rollerblade, it is time to learn now that the weather is temperate and you won't be dying in the sun and humidity that we just experienced.  The Twister 80's really do let you twist about-they are great for agility and for stopping on a dime, which you inevitably will have to do at some stage as we ARE in Manhattan.  They're so comfortable to wear with the molded cuff and Peachy loves the handle in the back of each skate that allows you to take them on and off with ease!  With two buckles on each inline skate, this pair really keeps your feet in snugly without being too tight...and also they tie with laces in the front.
We of course tested them in women's but we hear there is a men's model also!
  • Structure: Professionally Molded
  • Liner: Specialized 5 Star Fit
  • Closure: 45 degree buckle, cuff buckle and laces
  • Frame: 243mm Hot Rod ALU
  • Wheels: Urban 80mm/80A
  • Bearings: SG7
We highly recommend the Twister 80's and Rollerblading Peachy will keep you updated on her adventures!  Catch her if you can!!!  Whom You Know just LOVES Rollerblade.
