How do you feel when you are out for a skate and then you see a downhill slope approaching or you simply notice that you have started accelerating? If it’s a gentle downhill slope and you can see when it flattens out, then perhaps you feel some excitement as you know you’ll get some free roll and be able to chill for a few moments and rest your legs as you roll through the acceleration. What about a medium, longer looking slope which goes around a slight corner so you can’t see where the slope ends? Is this still exciting…
You’re ready to go for a nice outdoor skate – what do you take with you and how do you carry everything? Here’s all the things we take when heading out on a skate adventure. First things first, how to carry all the goodies? Personally I prefer a fanny pack/bum bag but a small backpack (although a bit sweatier) can also work. Alternatively you could wear cargo pants with lots of pockets – extra leg workout? Here’s what we put in our bag: Keys (house/car) Money (for snacks/beverages etc) this could be in the form of cash, card or phone…
No word yet on when the Quad wheels will be shipped. The estimated shipping date was end of April and we haven’t heard anything different or any further updates from that as of yet. We will continue to keep you posted. We do know that the big distributors have already placed reorders for another batch so these are going to be sold out so if you haven’t made your pre-order yet I would get your orders in before it’s too late and you have to wait until after Nationals (after July to get them!) These are going to be the…
A new version of the Pacer Charger skates just arrived. These were designed to look more like the popular quad speed skates and less like a toy skate. The design looks a little like a smaller version of the GTX500 skates, which have been very popular for many years now. They come in black or white, sizes 10J-4. To avoid confusion with the previous versions of the Chargers, these are model #975. They are in stock now and ready to ship. Source link

Skateboard bearings are small metal or ceramic rings that sit inside the wheels and enable them to spin smoothly. Over time, dirt, dust, and debris can accumulate inside the bearings, causing them to slow down or become less responsive. By regularly cleaning your skateboard bearings, you can ensure optimal performance and extend their lifespan. Cleaning your bearings is a straightforward process that can be done using household items you likely already have at home. Luckily, you don’t need to purchase expensive cleaners to get your bearings back in good condition. What are Skateboard Bearings? Before we discuss how to clean…
5. Balance Your BALANCE and stability will have noticeable improvements because roller skating activates the entire muscular system. When you are roller skating you are using every muscle in your body, and core engagement will focus on keeping your centre of gravity. A little wobble and losing your balance will engage your core and in turn will pull you back to the correct skating formation. The more advanced skills you start to perform the harder your muscles will be working to keep your body controlled with perfect posture. 6. CardiovascularOur roller skating program is a great CARDIOVASCULAR exercise that will keep…

Do you want LED light up wheels for your quad roller skates or inline skates? You might have seen people skating in light up wheels and been mesmerised because, let’s face it, they look pretty cool. Apart from looking great they can also help with safety as they can make you more visible to other people and can also light up the path a bit. So how exactly do they work? No batteries are required as the wheels come with magnetic floating spacers. The spacer powers the wheel’s core to light up when they spin. This spacer needs to be firmly…
