At Roller Kingdom, we are all about including everything in the realm of roller skating. From skate rentals, an amazing pro shop, artistic skate, tiny tot skate, and all the way to lessons for roller skaters of all ages and abilities, we have got it all. Read on to find out about our roller skating and other exciting offerings!

Skating

Of course we have skating at Roller Kingdom! We love to skate, and we love to have you out on the floor skating as well. Doesn’t matter if you wear quads or inlines, and it doesn’t matter if you are beginning or advanced. Wherever you are as a roller skater, we are here for you. So put on those skates, and skate away any summer boredom that may have set in!

Laser Tag

When we say, “Tag, you’re it!” at Roller Kingdom, we are not talking about a traditional game of tag! Instead, we are talking about laser tag. Whether you choose to team up and go it alone, this is a great adrenaline rush!

Games

We hope that at this point that you’ve got some great ideas for exciting activities at Roller Kingdom. However, if you are still feeling stuck, then maybe our game center is the place for you. Take on the challenge and try your luck with our racing games, crane games, and more! Don’t forget to cash in on your tickets at our stuff shop!

Whether you buy your skates from Roller Kingdom or you buy your own skates, you want them to last as long as possible. Follow these following maintenance tips and your skates will continue to operate in top form for years to come.

When you first receive your skates, perform an initial maintenance check.

• Make sure the wheels are properly attached, the nut in the wheel is firmly screwed in and there’s no give between wheel nut and wheel.
• If your skate is a quad, check to make sure the toe stop is adjusted to your preferred height.
• For quads, you’ll also want to check the tightness of the truck (the place between the wheels) and tighten that bolt as well.

After every skating session, check the wheels, wheel nuts and bearings.

• Make sure the wheels of your roller skates have not become loose; tighten them if they have. A loose ride is a dangerous ride so keep your wheels tight.
• Ensure the bearings are not wet. Wet bearings will rust or corrode. All grime or rust should be cleaned with rubbing alcohol; do not use dish soap. Dish soap will damage your bearings.

When necessary, perform additional roller skate maintenance.

• When your ride is less smooth, check the wheel bearings. Some skate dealers have wheel presses that will remove the bearings, but you can also use a screw driver. If your roller skate bearings don’t spin well, they need to be lubricated.
• Once the bearings are removed, you can wash your wheels in hot water with dish soap. (Dish soap damages bearings.) After your skates are completely dry, you can put the bearings back in.
• Smell can be eliminated with fresh air and sunlight. Leave the insoles of your skates fully exposed to the sun to remove odor. Baking soda may also prove a viable remedy.

If you take the time to care for your roller skates, they will last for years and be smooth riding for a long time. If you invest the time into roller skate maintenance, you won’t have to invest the money into a new pair of skates.
