A common question that we get asked in the store is, “What type of toe stops do I need for my roller skates?” Sometimes people assume that all skates will fit all toe stops – but this is wrong. You need to choose the correct type of toe stop for your roller skates. There are 2 main types of toe stops: bolt on toe stops and adjustable toe stops. Bolt Ons Bolt on toe stops are fixed to the plate by a bolt. They cannot be adjusted up and down. They sit where they sit and the skater gets used to that…

by Mel BlackwoodMany of the skaters come to us at the very start of their roller skate journey and we are delighted to see their confidence blossom in just a few weeks. We often hear folks talk about skills in binary terms, but there is no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ in these activities. Only more or less experience. At the start of your roller skate journey, of course, you will have less experience. Your body will not know what to do. Your mind may be excited or anxious. We will gently hold space for you and supportively push you (figuratively) out…

I recently received this question from a student using the Skatefresh Beginner Online Course. I think so many wish they’d asked this question but  “heel brake shaming” is still so prevalent it’s probably why they didn’t ask. “I want to become very skilled at urban skating for personal reasons. I live in an area with very steep slopes so I haven’t ventured on an urban skate yet. I want to have a very solid stop and be comfortable going up and down curbs first. I have been practicing the heel brake since day one and I feel like I can brake almost as…

“I have a top secret project to talk to you about” This was the tantalizing approach we got when one of our skaters in the film industry reached out back in early 2020. “Ok, we’re listening! What’s up” She went on to ask us to help produce a rollerskating segment for a “nationally broadcast reality TV show.” You better believe we said YES! What was the show? The Amazing Race Canada! You can catch our segment on CTV.ca Episode 11 Season 8!  One pandemic shutdown and two years later, we finally pulled it off. Ten Rolla Skate Club skaters and…

Back in 2005 I started teaching Mark to skate at age 57. His doctor had told him to get some aerobic exercise and to lose weight and he was scared because his father died at age 60 of heart disease. All his life he had always wanted to skate but never had. He hated running and saw skating as his only chance of exercise he might enjoy. But he was terrified. He had already had two lessons with two other non-Skatefresh instructors who both told him he couldn’t skate and shouldn’t pursue it.  He hadn’t managed to skate in those…

One of our most frequently asked questions is, “What size bearings do I need for my roller skates?” Bearings are the donut shaped ones that fit inside your wheel and allows the wheel to spin on the axle.   Find My Bearings Most wheels are sold without bearings.

In Australian roller skate shops, bearings can vary in price from $40 for a full set of 16 up to $400 for a full set. Generally…
