CNN Heath Rates Inline Skating "Best fat-blaster"



 Kids today need all the help they can get to stay in shape and live a healthy lifestyle.  Roller skating provides a great way for them to exercise.  What do your kids love to do?  Hang out with their friends?  Listen to music?  Run, jump, swing, and slide?  Play games? 
Roller rinks provide all their favorite activities – and best of all they will receive a full aerobic workout! :)

I just read an article on www.CNN.Com which ranks inline skating as "the best fat-blaster!"  Click here to view the full article.  Would you like to begin the fun healthy hobby of skating?  We can help you get started!  Live chate available at www.JustSkates.com or let's chat on Facebook.
1. Inline skatingBurns 425 calories in 30 minutes
Surprised? While skating might be so much fun you forget you're actually working out, it's also numero uno on our list when it comes to blasting fat and calories.
The big burn stems from the side-to-side movement of your thigh and butt muscles (demanding more from your body than the straightforward motion of our number-two activity -- running). And your core gets involved in a big way to keep you balanced.
What's more, you get all these benefits without putting too much stress on your knees and other joints. Skate at a strong, steady pace. Don't forget your helmet, wrist guards, and knee and elbow pads.
Boost the burn: Alternate one minute of hard skating with one minute of medium-paced strokes.

Vanilla Derby Brass Knuckles 2.0

Ladies of the derby world,                                            

     Vanilla has listened to your wants, your needs, your suggestions, and re-invented the derby boot!  This is the boot to "give 'em hell in."  While the original Brass Knuckle enjoyed success the 2.0 is raging to get out onto the floor!  I cannot believe the interest this boot has already stirred up...how will we keep them on the shelves! Ha.

    Credit must be given to Stephanie Gentz Meow Mix Yo'Face Up and her members of the Jacksonville Rollergirls.  Stephanie has truly worked hard for such a young lady.  Not only is she a dedicated member of her team, she really listened to requests from fellow derby girls when modifying the 2.0 Brass Knuckle.  This is one tough skate from one tough skater!  Thank you for the hard work Steph!


   100% owned and operatored by Stephanie “Meow Mix” Ghentz, Vanilla Derby is the first and only company owned by an active derby girl.  Support skater owned companies – support Vanilla Derby!

Summer Jam 2010 Battle Circle was it Vanilla Skates vs Riedell?

Summer Jam 2010 Jamskating "Potato Skate" Battle Circle

Back during Summer Jam 2009 hosted by JustSkates.com my wife and I created "The Potato Jam" - a battle circle where regular skates (potato skates) were required to compete. We wanted to see what made the skater...pure talent or did the products they skated in affect their performance? At any rate, we figured it would be good for a few laughs! JustSkates offered a $250 cash price to the winner!

Two things were instantly decided:

  1. These kids are damn talented! There's no doubt that great products help them complete their sets - the skates make the skater, the skater makes the style.
  2. We definitely have to continue to host potato jams! Hilarious AND entertaining!
The skaters hackled each other very little over products Riedell vs. Vanilla. Mainly the arguments come down to what is true jam skating - toe work vs. power. Personally, the kids impressed me across the board! I don't care if you holding a stall, rexing, or pulling off a windmill - jammin out in old school session skates is an accomplishment! Skaters included Tony Zane, Diamond Walker, Brandon Perea, & Lonna Kissling from Team Vanilla, Oscar Maldonado, Quinton Thomas, and Leo Romney to name a few. Over 25 skates laced up in busted ol' session skates - so who won the $$$?

I would love to hear from jammers out there!
  • What's your ideal skate set up?
  • Riedell vs. Vanilla?
  • Or does it matter? Does the skate create the skater or is it all just talent?

I was chatting with Tony, Dat Man Zane, at Summer Jam 2010 while he was visting my rink www.highrollerskating.com. Him & Diamond have been visiting us for years.
