Below are a few headers and logos that I’ve used in the past.
Morgane Echardour designed this clever logo- I love it!
I made this logo with paint
Andrew Hegarty designed this header as a celebration of my 30000th hit.
This one of the original PIRWP headers- designed by Eric Gee in 2000
I put this header together in 2003
I put all three headers together in 2004 as a celebration of PIRWP’s 5 years
You can always expect a joke on April Fool’s- Andrew Love sent me this one and I put it up on April Fool’s 2005
A sign of things to come- I could joke about this in 2005… but now it is a reality with SSW covering ice & roller- again, from Andrew Love
Hi Peter. Not sure if you caught this article from the NYTimes, Sept. 30:

Love SSW! Thanks,

Hi Alison-
Thanks a lot- I’ll share it on the main page.
Therefore, these notices serve as a precaution to the public. ,
hey that is cool but i wan to know if in texas they have some school for profecional skating or something like that
Peter,
actually it was me who sent you that joking ice/inline header graphic some years ago…
Although at the elite level, certainly one must specialize (especially if you are a sprinter), but for 99% of the skaters out there, I’ve always believed in the idea of the “allskater”, of someone who truly skates EVERYTHING. Ice & Inline, ST & LT, inline indoors & Marathons, you will end up stronger.
Each kind of skating has its mental, physical, and technical lessons to teach.
Your website is the best example of this philosophy that I can point to, keep it up!
Hey Andrew- thanks, I just credited your clever and prophetic work!
