For younger skaters wearing quad rental skates size 2 or smaller, we offer wheel tightening to help them learn to control their skates and build their confidence. We believe that any child that has mastered “walking” can participate. By slowing down the wheels for a small child, they learn to march their skates around the skating surface without worrying about slipping and sliding. As they gain confidence, their wheels can slowly be loosened and they can begin to experience gliding little by little between marches. Soon they will be ready for their wheels to be set to spin freely.
We have “Skate Mates” for rent to help anyone learn how to skate! A “Skate Mate” is made of PVC plastic and rotating wheels and functions like a “walker”. It gives a new skater or returning skater an assist with balance as they learn to move around the skating rink surface. A “Skate Mate” will not prevent all falls, but as confidence builds using a “Skate Mate”, beginner skaters will be zipping around the roller-skating floor in no time! Whether you are young or old, short or tall, we offer a variety of sizes to fit your height! Skate Mates are available on a first come first serve basis for a rental fee of $5/session.
