Money Well Spent

I am not so sure if money has been as big of an issue for others as it has for me this past year, so placing this order from Wicked Skatewear has been a long time coming! My derby dream list is much longer than my placed order, and much more exciting, but alas, I will have some new digs!

My skate boots (She Devils) should be back sometime in the first week of January (derby skating starts back up January 3). I will probably (unless a work of God happens) be skating on my borrowed skates the first week.


So, what was on my derby order?


  • Astro Nuts - Green
  • Bushings - PowerDyne Magic Cushions - Orange - 82A medium
  • Radar Tuner Wheels - Orange - 95A - Firm
  • Gaskets - Knee - Triple 8
  • Neon Green Criss Cross Laces

Would love to have had the money for new knee pads too, but that will have to be later in the season (before bouting starts). Gaskets really only last me around six months, but I highly recommend them to every skater.


I will post pictures of my skates with their new soles and reinforced toe box (thanks Riedell!) with their updated bushing, wheels and nuts when I get them!


Until then -

National Roller Skating Month, Happening RIGHT NOW!




OCTOBER 2011

Did you skate on the weekends while growing up?

Have you ever wanted to learn a new activity that is low impact on you knees?

This is the month to go skate! When the weather starts to change from summer to winter it is the best time to get out to your local rink and learn to skate, it is also that time of year to enter the world of FRESH MEAT at your local roller derby team, or even start learning about the world ofWoman's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) as a referee!

Bushing Oh My

Remember the (ghetto) sonic cruisers I used to ride? Well, I tore them all apart. It was great to use them as a training tool. I highly recommend using a training pair if you have never done the tear down (put back together) and have a pair of skates you are needing to have for practice anytime soon. Once I pulled out the bearings, I realized that not only were they full of hair and grossness, but they also were ABEC 1! I forwent putting the bearings back together, and ordered a new set of bearings in my last Wicked order. Since these are my outdoor skates (road skates mostly) I chose to not spend too much money on bearings (though I would have preferred ABEC 7 or 9) and got the ABEC number 5s for these. I think they will be alright. Haven't been able to skate outdoors lately. The snow has not stopped in days. The many feet of white and wind keep us shoveling. School was closed today. I sure hope that our scrimmage tomorrow isn't canceled again. Originally, the scrimmage was supposed to be February 25th, March 25th is the reschedule date. Fingers crossed we get to skate! Our skate days at the gym have been being changed and/or canceled, and the girls are just itching to hit each other.
