there was some kid playing on the court between periods and he'd be running then all of a sudden he'd be floating on the surface. at first i thought he was a witch, but upon further inspection he was wearing these shoe, similar to these ones:

I'm no scientist, but that sounds quite dangerous...
But I guess if you wore a helmet and some elbow/knee pads, you would be all set.

I've had a pair for about two years now. They take some getting used to, and are fun for a while, but they give you the most painful shin splints. Plus they are very dangerous when you are drunk...
