I haven't skated since Antrim last September. Good thing Dr. Dan will be around :). Looking forward to seeing you all again. It has ...

Anybody have a Full Bag Red Baron they are willing to part with? Used/good condition is OK. Seeing as they are made in the North Pole, it would make a nice Christmas present from Santa. I don't think that my quest for my perfect H/S tight G/S board would be complete w/o a RB. Thanks!
