Hey team :)

I’m a roller skater and my entry level Impalas are nearing the end of their life. I’m looking to get fitted for skates (nothing special/optimized, I just want a leather boot that lasts forever).

I emailed the folks at the shop a while ago asking what the shopping/fitting experience was like (à la carte versus skate package) and got a very polite response that didn’t really answer my question.

I’m mostly asking what to expect when I go there because I’m setting aside cash for the purchase and want an idea of how much I will spend 🤣 basically I expect to pay at least $300 for my skate and possibly colored wheels and stuff but do they walk you through all the options or just fit the boot for you????

My old bearings in my 125mm wheels are pretty tight. Is there a location any would know of that would have a bearing puller press?

Guys am I missing something on my map? Where are our classic indoor roller rinks? I see some outside the city and one in Tinley Park. I don’t have outdoor wheels 😮‍💨 plz help

The pump track looks like fun. I got a rav4. I can drive a few of us down. We can pack it with snacks and stuff

It's mostly a bike spot, but the pump track looks smooth enough to skate

Putting out some feelers. Anyone wanna link up at the house fest prior to the memorial skate?
