when I go to the website, I get a big red 'warning, risky site, are you sure you want to go there' message. I don't want to type it to make a link in case its wrong, but I am going to this site (but all in one word, just not typing it as one word so it won't make a link on FSU!) blades for the brave . org. Is that the correct site? Am I just getting the big red warning message because it won't be active until 8p?

I remembered Ghost. Mostly I was just impressed they were doing that in their skates on the floor.
