    Oh I talked to Romans before I went to greater omaha and they sounded like good people but greater O got to me first and had already committed .
    Beyond that I don't know much other than they have been around many years and have never heard anyone speak bad of them and bad outfits in Omaha get a bad rep fast .
     
    Mr.A Thanks this.

    Only other thing I can can offer is my ex father in law used to be the truck engine manager for cat in Omaha prior to retirement and sold Romans cat products .
    He always spoke well of them and if he thought an outfit was run by jerks he told me .
     
    Mr.A Thanks this.

    Not a problem. What school did you go through? Surely they may know something. Seen a driving academy that was doing some practicing over by the sapp brothers back lot last time i crashed for 10 in omaha.

    Call them up and just get the basics on equipment etc etc. i had an ol hand for an instructor at the school who thought id be good with skateboards. Went local small company. Seen 1 post from years back in the forums asking about them. Pros and cons with everything but so far so good and dodged a bullet going to a mega.
