Our annual tradeshow will be Oct 7 and 8 (Mon and Tues) at our Roanoke, VA warehouse. We’ll have skate vendors showing off their product line, we’ll have savings on older merchandise, and it is a great time to meet with other rink owners and operators.
More details are coming soon, but please mark your calendar now if you plan to attend.
The Clean Skate wheel washers are back in stock. This is a great machine for keeping your rental wheels looking their best. Whoever is currently in charge of skate maintenance at your rink will thank you for getting this machine. They’ll be able to clean wheels so much faster and easier than before. Plus some rinks will offer to clean their customer’s skates for a small fee, so you can make some money off of the machine.
The machine is sturdy but could be moved from one rink to another if you have multiple facilities.
Here is a video you can watch to see it in action – https://www.facebook.com/DRskating/videos/2324809094261080/

This is a time of the year when a lot of rinks work on their rental skates. We have a good supply right now of the Sure-Grip 140, Pacer’s New Generation, and the Pacer Vintage. We have parts for repairs and we have replacement boots in stock. We also have the EZ Roll for a budget option on an adjustable skate for smaller feet that would give you some flexibility.

The Chuck Parsley version of the Vanilla Junior skates are now in stock. These have a white, black, and gold design and are named after the nickname of a top jam skater.
The tongue flaps for the Uniq Era skates are now in stock. This is a fast and easy way to change up the look of your Era skates by replacing the flaps with something more colorful. The current options are black with white, gold, green, orange, pink, white, pink with black, or red with silver.
We will be at upcoming RSA Trade Show. We are helping to sponsor the welcome reception with Sure-Grip (Sunday, May 5, 7pm). Please stop by our booth during the tradeshow (Mon and Tues afternoons). We’ll be showing off our product lines and there will probably be some previews of upcoming skates from several different manufacturers. We’ll have the Griffin Brothers at our booth for a meet and greet (they’re sponsored by Uniq) and you’ll also have a chance to skate with them at the Skate Bash at the Astro Skate rink. We’d love to meet with you in person.
We received a big shipment from Vanilla and are now in better shape on their Junior skates than we had been. We are still very low on the Stealth version, but many of the others are now back in stock. Plus they’re introducing a brand new model called the Chuck Parsley that is white, black, and gold and in stock. We also have a new backpack from them in red or grey.
The Era skates from Uniq come with a completely removable tongue flap that is held in place by velcro. They now have a full line of replacement flaps in many different colors so that you can swap out the flaps to add a color change to your skates. The skates come with black flaps but the replacement flaps come in the following colors:black and white, black and green, black and orange, black and pink, black and gold, black and chrome pink, and solid white.
If you’re coming to the RSA’s convention, we’ll have a booth for their tradeshow. Please stop by and say “hi” if you get a chance.
Vanilla Skate is introducing a new color scheme to their Junior line. The Chuck Parsley skates are white with black and gold. They’re available in sizes 3-13 and are in stock now and ready to ship out.
They’re also introducing a new backpack in red or grey that are now available. They’re working on a blue version but we don’t have the blue quite yet.
The Era is Uniq’s quad speed skate with features like a composite outsole and microfiber uppers that are normally only found on skates at higher price points. One creative thing they did is make a tongue flap that’s totally removable. Because it attaches with velcro, and isn’t permanently stitched on, you can easily replace the tongue flap. They now have replacement flaps coming in eight different color schemes. This will let you change up the look of the entire skate for just the cost of a tongue flap. We have the Era skates in stock now, the replacement tongue flaps should be here very soon.
We received a good shipment of rental skates from Pacer. We now have almost all sizes of the Excel inline rentals (we’re missing size 4) and the Vintage quad rentals (we’re missing size 5). They also shipped us an early sample of a new inline hockey rental skate they’re working on. These are being tested right now at a couple of rinks and we should have more info soon on when they’ll be available.
