You’ve probably heard about Pokemon Go, a new game that is played with cell phones and creating a lot of excitement.

 

We have several Pokemon items left over from several years back.  These are not specifically “Pokemon Go” items, but they are Pokemon and they are legit.  We almost forgot we had them, then started seeing a lot of buzz building about the Pokemon Go game, and we remembered these were stored away on a top shelf in the back corner.  We’ve dusted them off, and they’re ready to ship.

 

Pokemon Keychains – A real Pokemon card, laminated, and attached to a keychain.

 

Pokemon Magnets – Seven small Pokemon magnets, attached to a display card.

 

Pokemon Stickers – Ten Pokemon stickers per envelope (looks kind of like the packs that baseball cards would come in).

 

We’re not sure how “hot” these items will be.  But supplies are somewhat limited, first come, first serve, so order quick if you’re interested.

We have received two different shipments of the Candi Girl skates from Roller Derby.  We now have almost all sizes and colors in stock, except for the following:
U772 – white with pink – sizes 7 and 8
U774 – blue – sizes 7, 8, and 9

We also received a new shipment of the GT50 Plus light up skates.  All sizes are back in stock (4 through 10).  The newest shipment has slightly redesigned controls for the lights.

Mark you calendars now for our annual tradeshow.  It will be at our Roanoke warehouse on October 3 and 4.  This is a great chance to see new products, meet with vendors, and also talk to other rink owners.  We’ll have more details soon.

We just received a second big shipment of the Candi Girl skates.  We’re now in much better shape than we were before.  There are still a couple sizes we’re out of, but almost everything is now back in stock.  Here is a list of the ones we don’t have. . .

 

U772 White w/ Pink – sz 7 and 8

U774 Blue – sz 7, 8, and 9 (we have a very few pair of these, but they won’t last)

 

We will be contacting everyone that has these on backorder to confirm that you still want them before we ship them out.  If you have some on backorder and want to speed up that process, just call or email us with instructions.  Thanks.

 

On the GTX500 we are still out of black sizes 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.  We are not expecting more of these until the fall shipments start arriving.

Are you struggling to get in shape this summer? Here are five more reasons to cancel your gym membership and pick up a skate to achieve your summer body.

1. Improves endurance. In addition to muscle strengthening, roller skating can also improve your endurance. Grab your skates and go outside!  Along the way, add a few uphill climbs to train your muscles and cardiovascular system to use the body’s energy more efficiently, so in the end, you’ll be able to skate longer and do more intensive workouts without being exhausted.

 

2. Improves balance. According to Health Fitness Revolution, roller skating helps improve balance with the help of your abdominal and lower-back muscles (since you must maintain a solid core in order to remain upright).

 

3. It’s social. You can roller skate with friends, family or even with your pet (with your furry friend on a leash of course). Social interaction is a big part of your health, so next time you’re feeling down, call your friends, lace up your skates and head to the nearest roller rink for a good time!

 

4. Can be done anywhere. Why limit yourself to only exercising in the gym? With skating, you can go anywhere your feet will take you. Free yourself from the captivity of a smelly gym, grab a pair of skates and smell the fresh air.

 

5. No membership fees. There are no monthly fees with roller skating. Grab your skates and roll out!

Of course roller skating will not replace the old fashion “sit-up,” but it’s certainly a way to be healthy and have fun while doing it.

We just received a big shipment of the Candi Girl skates.  We still don’t have everything we’d like, but we’re in much better shape than we were before this shipment.  Here is an updated list of the ones we’re out of stock on. . .

We will be contacting everyone that has these on backorder to confirm that you still want them before we ship them out.  If you have some on backorder and want to speed up that process, just call or email us with instructions.  Thanks.

We are out of stock on several of the more popular items.  The GTX500 Black is out of stock on sizes 5, 6, 7, and 8.  We are not expecting more of these until the fall when Roller Derby comes out with the new version of this skate.  As soon as we have more details we will let everyone know.

We checked with Roller Derby today to get the latest update on these.  They expect that the next shipment will arrive in mid or late June.  As soon as we get more we’ll let everyone know.

Powell-Bones will be coming out with a 59mm version of the Day of the Dead wheels called the Day of the Dead Pets.  This wheel will come in white (88A or 96A) or black (92A or 94A).  We’re expecting them to arrive in mid-June.
