70% And there were a couple I should have gotten. I just passed on Mona, though.

@12 Pi It was the first with the recording. The earlier ones did a chord that functioned as a diagnostic tool. With some training you could narrow the problem down by hearing what was off in the startup chord.

Nah, 70% of your stopping power comes from the front brake, which is hand operated. And depending upon how the roller wheels fit with/between the peg/rear brake, there may not be a problem there at all. It could even be more secure than regular boots (of course, it could be less--hard to tell.)

Why didn't you include my WALKING EYE!? /Rusty Venture

I used QuickMark on my iPhone. The site comes up as ckg.mobi/pr

Not all that interesting, actually.
