The story of Skate Comets

The Skate Comets wore glowing quad skates that left rainbow trails across the rings of Planet Spindle. Their job was delivering space mail, but somehow every delivery became a race against the Gravel Gang. Kids at the roller rink tried to copy the Comet Spin from the opening credits, which usually ended with a skinned knee.

Fun fact

In three seasons, not one letter in the Comets' mailbags was ever opened on screen.
