Roll Happy

4 things to pack in your skate bag...

1. Tools 🛠️
Sometimes things come loose! Get yourself a skate tool (they cost less than a tenner) and always make sure it's in your kit bag.

2. Spare socks 🧦
Especially important in summer when you've got your sandals on! Trust us, skating in bare feet is NASTY. Always put clean socks on before you put your skates on and you'll keep your boots fresher for longer.

3. Pads ⛑️
When you're learning to roller skate knee pads and wrist guards are your best friends. They take the fear out of falling and protect your joints.

4. BOTH skates 🛼🛼
True story! This really happened to someone in class once. Make sure they are both in there.

Summer is here, and with it comes the joy/terror of skating outdoors 😅 If you're getting ready for your first outdoor skate trip you might want to check what wheels you have on your skates...

Most skates come with a 'hybrid' wheel as standard that can handle both outdoor and indoor rolling. But there ARE different types of wheels out there, and some are more comfortable for outdoor use.

There's lots of choice, and the differences can be confusing. In a nutshell, you want to think about...

1. Hardness (softer for outdoors, harder for indoors)
2. Size (bigger for speed, smaller for agility)
3. Width
4. Shape

But this is a huge simplification. In reality there is a sliding scale for all of these things. You might find that something in the middle is best for you. It totally depends on what you plan to do on your wheels, and what sort of surface you plan to do it on.

If you're planning on investing in a new set don't forget that some come in packs of 4 - so you might need two packs for quad skates. This catches everyone out the first time so remember to check!

You also need bearings in your wheels, so if you plan to swap them regularly you might want to invest in another set so you can leave them in your wheels to make the switchover faster.

You don't need to spend loads on different sets of wheels. We regularly skate indoors on our outdoor wheels. If you can find one set of to cover off all situations that's the dream - swapping them around is easy but it's still a bit of a pain!
