Rollerblade Lightning 6.5
jojo...@gmail.com
I've been searching the web for a while and I don't seem to find much
on that model and I would have some questions. I know that the
lightning 6 came out in 2005 and the lightning 6.5 seems to be a
little different physically. What are the main differences between the
6 and the 6.5? Are there many differences between the 6.5 and the
lightning II that came out this year? I could buy a pair of lightning
6.5 at a Sport Expert here in Ottawa Canada for 200$ but I'm wondering
if I should get the lightning II instead.
Also, I'm a newbie at In-line skating. I will be using them to go to
work and mostly recreation. Will they be too much of a skate for me or
is it ok? The pair was really the most comfortable of the three i've
tryed at the store and I know that confortability should be a big
issue...
Any advice and information on those models would really be
appreciated...
Thank you very much,
Joël.

Does your skating experience include anything besides skating on a
level surface?
If not, you might be in for a very big surprise.
Street skating was awesome after many months of trying, but at first
it was a shock having only indoors rollerskating experience.
Nowadays I just love it for commuting.
Good luck and have fun.

The malicious misfit Martin Markoe's only USENET activity is spamming
the speech users group, filling the archives with his advertising, and
driving other regular authors away.
If you deal with the spammer, check a price comparison web site before
you get ripped off.
Following are a few quotes from others directed to the chronic liar
and malicious troll Martin Markoe. They help illustrate the annoyance
and frustration that unrestrained advertising causes for real users
looking for help on unmoderated USENET groups.

You are not a technologist. You sell microphones.
Marty, how come whenever someone disagrees with you, you get into this
high school urinating contest mode? Actually I can't find your
credentials anywhere either, except as a guy selling something.
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.speech.users/msg/473a2b3f9dd6a0f0?
Man you really are full of yourself! Just leave me alone. I asked you
a question. Silly me, I wanted to know what I was buying before I
bought it. How absurd! I then get email after email after email from
you telling me that you won't answer my question and trying to justify
it. Lets cut the crap. You won't answer my question. I won't buy from
you. So now go away and let me get USEFUL information from someone who
will be honest with me instead of evasive, devisive and insulting!

More importantly I am not here touting my business. A position which
makes anything you say suspect, doesn't it.
I have been watching this group for a long time and you have managed
to turn it into the eMicrophones, Inc. mail list. Almost no one with
expertise posts here any longer.
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.speech.users/msg/6014c0e38032578f?
Is anyone else beyond annoyed with the two pathetically desperate
"small business owners" that have driven this group into the ground?
I subscribed 6 months ago hoping to learn something about the
"state-of-the-art" in voice recognition from the user's perspective.
All I've managed to learn is that most users are apparently being
ripped off by over-charging slimy weaseloid microphone hawkers.
Martin Markoe and Mr. "speaktoyourpc.com", I beg you to consider the
number of potential customers you're pissing off before you further
demonstrate your witlessness by posting again. Your childish
King-of-the-Group games should've stopped a loooong time ago.
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.speech.users/msg/3b57c2d47a1d5994?
Well said...Refreshing.
[That in response to the prior message.]
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.speech.users/msg/ce73180162c1d199?
... dealing with you on the newsgroups is not an easy thing and most
always turns into some type of flaming war.
... you do get into fights with many regarding microphones and you do
wave your website around more often than necessary and you don't
always tell the truth about competitive products.
I didn't respond because I simply did not want to get into another
fight which is the reason my posts have been very light in the last
few months.
Here are my qualifications. Certified and trained for Philips
SpeechMagic, IBM ViaVoice, IBM Medspeak, Kurzweil VoiceMed, Dragon
NaturallySpeaking Enterprise & L&H VoiceXpress... So please, don't
call me a "Charlatan" because it is simply not true.
And believe me when I tell you that some users actually get better
recognition from $20 headsets than with $100 headsets.
I see vendors posting all the time and as long as you are not a member
of the newsgroup, there aren't constant one-up battles.
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.speech.users/msg/ba6cc5fd879272fd?
After getting caught with his pants down regarding his so called
privacy policy, Martin continues to make a complete ass out of
himself.
With this pattern of behaviour, the next step is usually
stalking--email stalking (... to menacingly spread deceit)
[Coincidentally, Martin Markoe did exactly that recently.]
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.speech.users/msg/84f362b69d93a460?
... you don't see the authors in all the newsgroups in a constant
battle. Only with you Marty.
You have left such a bad taste in my mouth about your constant
bickering...
I can't believe you are talking about spamming. I have seen posts from
you that link to as many as 8 direct links to your website (all in one
post) and your signatures fall within 5 or 10 lines long. In my book,
that's called SPAMMING.
... about 2 weeks ago, you claimed to have sold thousands of GN MPA
Satellites. I know for a fact that is not true.
This has become a game and if the flaming stops, perhaps we can get
this group active again.
Guess what Marty.... I have a life. I don't have time to live on the
newsgroups as you do.
This is the 2nd time you have mentioned me being moderated on user
groups. Last time, you apologized about confusing me with someone
else. YOU ARE OUT OF CONTROL MARTY MARKOE.
Marty, your constant abuse on these newsgroups... must come to an end.
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.speech.users/msg/5585a5e972b1cc1c?
I give up. I've dealt with delusional people like you before, and it
leads to nowhere... you continue attacking people who are FAR more
experienced and qualified than you, not to mention professional...

can you provide a link? I see some references to lightning 6's but
not to a 6.5
I know my Rollerblades pretty well and don't remember a 6.5 unless you
are confusing shoe size with model number....because the numbered
lightnings all had even numbers afaik
Are there many differences between the 6.5 and the
> lightning II that came out this year?
I don't see a lot of differences ....i think the frames are 10mm
longer on the new style II's and they give you SG9 bearings instead
of abec 7's....this is not a big deal cause fast bearings is fast
bearings....the sg9's are part of a trend away from abec ratings
though they are said to be similar to ABEC 9's....which is kinda goofy
cuz the difference is hardly discernible while loaded(i mean the
wheels with weight)
the newer skates may have slight improvements in materials or maybe
not...could be pretty much the same materials...i think the footbeds
are pretty much the same as well
I could buy a pair of lightning

no real good reason afaik because the specs line up....i even think
the lightning 6's may have a bit more adjustability in the frame

90mm's work well for me...a perfect cross between the old 80mm rec
skate and the smoothness and speed of a 100mm race skate
should work fine

Do you have a link...afaik there is no lightning 6.5....they all had
even numbers.....so i only have skated on lightning 6's
I don't see much difference between the two skates(lightning II's and
Lightning 6's)....the frames are slightly longer on the RB II's than
on the Lightning 6's
and the bearings are supposed to be better on the II's but its hard to
tell a difference between abec 7's and abec 9's
i think the lightning 6's are a good buy and the II's are not really
much different
90mm wheels are great for commuting so go for it
