In the real world there are cracks, bumps, sticks, small transitions, gravel and debris. All of these obstacles are easily negotiated simply by scissoring your skates.

Rocker Your World

Maximize Your Lesson Benefits

September 2000

Here are a few tips for getting the most from your lessons with Skaters Quest.

Wheels

In this segment of Tech Tips, we will look at the different types of wheels that are on the market and what may work best for your particular type of skating, as well as what all those numbers mean on the side of the wheels.

Maintenance

July 1999

When you think of maintenance, one normally thinks of rotating wheels or cleaning bearings. Since we at Skater's Quest stress safety while skating and require everyone to wear protective gear, we thought it would be prudent to discuss cleaning your gear on a regular basis.
