The 2009 Atlanta Trade Show and NEW GEAR

The 2009 Atlanta trade show was in full swing on Monday and Tuesday of this week and we were there getting the low down on all the new gear coming out in 2010. The event is hosted every October by Southeastern Skate Supply. If your wearing skates, most likely these guys made it happen. They’re the largest skate supplier in the country and they really now how to host a party.

Sure-Grip, Vanilla, and Pacer were among some of the elite showing off their killer new designs for the upcoming year.

Sure-Grip decided to focus their efforts on making the Flame and Rebel skates even better. The Flames have been some of their best sellers in the last 2 years and with the new additions to the family I’m sure it’ll stay that way.

Some of the new models this year are the Red with Black Flame. This one’s a deep red boot with an all black flame and it’s all tied together with the new black/red Twister wheels. The Green Flame is a great addition to the original Flame color scheme. Personally, I think the green looks the best of all the colors.

The new Pink with Black Flames model is more than just a new color choice. Sure-Grip purposely set out to make a skate that represents surviver’s and fighters of breast cancer. It was nice to see some of the bigger names in skating stand up for this great cause. These pink beauties won’t be available until the beginning of the year but we’ll be keeping you up to date on any arrival dates.

Overall, the trade show was a lot of fun and we met tons of new folks in the roller skating world. We got to share our ideas and listen to others.  We came home with a ton of info to share and even few interviews with folks like Vanilla. I’ll be posting those soon along with all the new 2010 skates and gear.
