Before you spend a dollar on skates, read this. I have spent more than ten years on eight wheels living rhythm skating, and the number one thing that trips up new skaters is not their feet. It is buying the wrong pair before they ever get to skate. So I made you a shortcut. This is the SK8SHOT Roller Skate Buyer's Guide. It walks you through exactly how to pick your first pair of quad skates so you fall in love with skating from day one. Inside you will find: - What skates to get and which brands to stay away from - Essential info about wheels, jam plugs, bearings, lacing and insoles - How much to expect to spend and more... Grab the guide below. Once you have it, drop a comment and tell me what you think about it and any questions you have. Hope this helps. Let's get you rolling!

My husband (a rollerblader/hockey player) shared this link about plans for a new outdoor rink in Kansas City, MO historic 18th & Vine jazz district. We have a few outdoor rinks in the area but, those are mostly setup for hockey. This one looks really large and should be fun! https://fox4kc.com/news/new-outdoor-skating-rink-coming-to-park-near-18th-and-vine-jazz-district/

Are there any instructors for adult beginners in Atlanta, GA? I haven't skated in over 40 years!! (Yes...40). I'd really like to start again. Please and thank you!

Hey everyone! I was showing @Knejie Allen some deodorizers that I got for my skates and wanted to share the link with everyone. They’re called Boot Bananas and they soak up moisture/deodorize your skates. You just put them in after each session. The bananas turn brown as they start to fill with moisture. Once they’re fully “ripe” (brown) you toss them and get a new set. They smell like a mix of herbs, not banana. 🛼🍌 Amazon link below - they’re $20: https://a.co/d/0f5kjeIl Happy skating everyone! I’m working on my crossovers right now, trying to find the confidence in moving and stepping. ♥️
