Franc's Wheels Are Flying

Tuesday July 1, 2008
The best thing about my guide gig is the wonderful email messages that come from all around the world...

Last week Franc Pirc-Frenk of Portoroz, Slovenija sent greetings and a photo after posting a comment on the 83 year-old inline skater in Australia. Franc is a youngster in his 70's, is an IISA/ICP certified skating instructor, goes by the name "my wheel's flying" and loves inline skating (kotalkarske) so much that he writes skating poems in his Slovenian language. He skated 329 days out of 365 days for at least for one hour last year, and he is working to break his own record this season. Franc was trained by Krista Heubush and Kris Fondran (Simeoni).
