  • Lost two Wisconsin roller rinks : Rollaero, Cudahy closed after frozen pipe burst of fire supression system. Skate Country, West Bend sold to Habitat for Humanity ~ a new ReStore.
  • That's what I read; Hyper T Rex. What's odd is the only 2 sets I've ever seen don't have a metal hub but that air bubble hub like Atom Low-boys...?
  • May 14th, 2021!!!!
  • Sorry didn't update my comments on this sooner. ALL of 2020 Road Rave was cancelled by Tom. Been seeing small amount of people coordinating independent rolls around Chicago on the Facebox group. I might get down there nearer the end of the Summer bu…
  • Had to give up one of my pairs of Sure-grip Rebels I used for outdoor skating to my friend's son whose feet suddenly grew 4 and a half sizes bigger. Still have my quad-line pair but wanted the ability to practice jam-style stuff outside while the we…
  • Damn! He skates fast as hell!! Sick.

  • So, this was cancelled for May 1st, 15th and 29th. As far as I know, June 12th is ON tho'.
  • Bought this a few years ago for either $40 or $50 USD. It's a Chinese made durometer. As near as I could figure, it actually reads off by about 2. In order to test that out for sure though, I'd have to buy a calibration block which would run me $200…
  • I've read that Sure-grip are generally wider and would agree with that assessment from the Rebels I own for my outdoor skating. Riedells usually run quite narrow, like a B in front to a AA in back unless you order skates with a D/B last. Vanilla's F…
  • I just received my Route 70s the other day. Last night mounted them to a pair of Sure-grip Rebels. Would've tried them out today but was busy with a long skate on my quad lines. Maybe tomorrow. I can't believe how much bigger the 70s are next to th…
  • Discovered the Hank Aaron State Trail in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin two years ago. The final pavement from 94th Place in West Allis to the Waukesha/Milwaukee County line was finished in December of 2018 so that's the smoothest of asphalt right now.…
  • I don't know anybody who got married on skates but my friend, Morgyn, is more than happy to advertise that her roller skates cost her more than her wedding dress!
  • With you feet next to each other, aim your toes slightly toward each other. You now have no choice but to skate backwards as you physically can't skate forwards with your feet positioned this way. As you push out, your feet will get farther apart fr…
  • Under Wisconsin, in Racine, Skatetown is now Star Roller Rink. I can attest to the open-ness of the following places in Wisconsin: Capelli’s Traxside Skating in Burlington Rollaero Skate Center in Cudahy Skater’s Edge in Grand Chute (Appleton area)…
  • Weird thing about wheels: one of the hubs is TOTALLY out of round! The urethane isn't, that is round so it doesn't cause me any grief skating. This set of wheels for one rink in particular; one very LARGE floor at Xtreme Wheels in Crystal Lake, IL. …
