Photo & Cover Photo: Spiro As a fresh visitor to skate parks (and being – just slightly, only a little, not much but more than enough – older than most people there) I have to say that I was very…
By Mel @troubleon8wheelsAt the moment, we are getting asked this question a lot. A LOT ALOT! That means you, dear Gangsters are inspiring people all around you in your every day lives, to get wheely shoes on their feet! How amazing is that! As the saying goes “More people skate, when they see more people skating.”Roller skates are highly specialised equipment to carry out sporting activity. They allow the wearer to alter their way of moving. We need to stop expecting to find a product that will be comfortable, long lasting and excellent for a small amount of money. What…

Hi, my name is PT and I’m addicted to wheels. Over the last 11 years I’ve had waaay too many sets of wheels for roller derby to talk about. I’ve tried it all – wide wheels, narrow wheels, tall wheels, short wheels, soft wheels, hard wheels, nylon hubs and alloy hubs. Here’s a few things I’ve learned about choosing the perfect quad wheels for your roller style and level. Highs and Lows The most common wheel height for roller derby wheels are 62mm (tall) and 59mm (short). I know you’re thinking that 3mm doesn’t make a difference, but it…
