Not only did my Secret Santa get me some much needed gear for my downhill skating obsession, but she also supplied me with some fantastic gift cards to great stores.

Zealous Bearings are my favorite! Not only do they have built-in spacers and speed-washers, but they last longer than anything I've ever ridden before.

The Precisions washers are also incredible! They keep my bushings from deforming too much when I ride, making my turns incredibly predictable.

I got to try these out today, and finally broke my speed record. 43mph achieved!
