7 Easy Steps For Dying Your Own Skate Wheels

1. Get a package of rit dye in whatever color you want. (When in doubt, go lighter, colors like royal blue usually  come out really dark.
2. Fill a bucket, or something big you don’t mind getting dye on, with hot water.
3. Add half the pack of dye. don’t get it on anything you don’t want colored (it’s not coming off!) and stir it in until it’s totally dissolved.
4. Add your wheels and stir them around every minute or two.
5. While stirring them, look and see if the color is right.
6. When the color is right (sometime between 10 and 40 minutes), throw them in plain water and rinse them off.
7. Let them dry.

That’s it. That’s all there is to it.

So have fun dying your wheels and send us some pics of your custom colors.

Roller Skates | Learn How To STOP!

Ok, so this may seem a little bit like a no brainer, but I recently went to the rink and was amazed at how many people were slamming into the wall (and each other) to stop themselves.

I’m sure this is a regular site in rinks all across the land but on this particular day it seemed like no one knew how to stop.

So if your heading to rink this weekend, this quick little video is for you.

Have fun at the rinks and skate safe.
