Inline, dance, roller derby, speed skates… there are different styles of skates for every type of skating activity. So, how do you choose the right style for you? At Skate Moore in Oklahoma City, we know a thing or two about gear and we want to help you find the perfect skates for your needs. Check out some of the options we stock in our pro shop below!

Inline Skates/Rollerblades

There are three main styles in inline skating:

• Speed Skates: Meant for going fast as the name implies, speed skates are perfect for racing and speed demons alike.
• Fitness Skates: This style come in a high top and is the common, recreational style of roller blade.
• Hockey Skates: This hearty style is made to go fast but also take a beating making them the perfect choice for hockey players.

Quad Skates

Traditional quad skates come in a variety of styles as well, such as:

• Outdoor Skates: These skates have a softer wheel and lace-up high tops to handle the uneven terrain of outdoor skating.
• Recreational Skates: When you come in to Skate World and rent skates, this is what you get. These are great all-arounds for indoor recreational use.
• Roller Derby Skates: This style is low top for maneuverability, they have a softer wheel for extra grip and are built to hold up to heavy use.

A new school year is here and every family has a lot of things going on. Sometimes keeping your kids active once school starts back up slips to the bottom of the priority list. But keeping your child active after school has a ton of benefits physically, socially and mentally!

We all know that exercise is great for keeping your body healthy, but did you know that regular physical activity can help increase brain function in children, too? It’s true! And bringing your kids to the roller rink at Skate Moore after school is a great way for them to ramp up their exercise, make new friends and increase their energy for learning.

Benefits of Exercise for Your Childs Brain

There are now dozens of studies show that kids get smarter simply by staying active and getting regular exercise. Between 30 and 60 minutes of physical activity per day helps increase your child’s brain function in the following ways:

• Increasing blood flow to the brain
• Helping new neurons grow
• Speeding up the brain’s metabolism
• Increasing oxygen levels in the brain

Fight Childhood Obesity

Regular after-school exercise can help your kids keep a healthy weight, which creates health benefits throughout their lives. Kids who suffer from childhood obesity are at a much higher risk for developing health issues like diabetes and heart disease as adults.

Behavioral Benefits

Keeping kids physically active can make a huge difference in behavior. A tired kid is a good kid, and at Skate Moore in Oklahoma City, we specialize in making exercise fun while your little ones wear themselves out!

Want to learn more about the benefits of roller skating or blading with us at Skate Moore? Give us a call or stop by for an impromptu skate session! Walk-ins are always welcome during open skating times and it’s a great way for kids to make new friends in a healthy, family-friendly atmosphere.

You already know that Skate Moore Skate Center is the best place for birthday parties in the Moore, OK area. If you want to really take your party to the next level, what about roller skating party favors?

The thing to remember about party favors is that they don’t have to be expensive to be awesome. Sure, you could spring for personalized skating socks for each and every guest, but clever puns, cute illustrations, and even delicious candy will also go a long way without costing as much. Create name tags or place cards shaped like roller skates and use round candy for the wheels–Rollos seem like the obvious choice based on their name (get it?), but Lifesavers are also a great choice. Just make sure that candy is individually wrapped before you glue or tape it, because kids are probably going to eat it. This is a great task for the guest of honor to help with! 

You can also put together inexpensive goodie bags for guests. Include fun things for kids to play with or wear include glow bracelets, silly glasses, fake mustaches, stickers, and anything else you can think of that kids will enjoy putting on their faces. Does your party have a theme, like the 80s or a favorite cartoon show? If so, your goodie bags are pretty much taken care of. Otherwise, consider picking a favorite color or movie. Most party stores have aisles divided by colors, characters, and other themes.

Again, don’t think you have to break the bank to throw a great birthday party. With a little bit of creativity and planning ahead, you can create fun, inexpensive party favors!

With no classes or homework over the summer, kids can quickly become inactive. Keeping your kids moving and engaged in physical activity during summer break can be challenging, especially when it’s hot outside and the video games start calling.

In order to keep your kids moving this summer, it’s important to present activities that are fun. Here are a few creative ways to help keep your kids fit while still having fun when school’s out:

Roller Skating

Roller skating is a classic summer activity, but most people don’t realize it’s also an excellent way to get a workout! Depending on how hard you go, you can burn up to 600 calories per hour at the rink. It’s also a low impact and super fun was to get the heart pumping! At Skate Moore, we can help you set up a private party, or give you all the information you need for public skating hours and pricing.

Visit the Public Pool

A summer membership to the public pool is a great way to keep your kids active all season long. From swimming lessons to good old fashioned horse play with new and old friends, kids can increase their water skills and have a great time doing it. Check out Eagle Harbor Aquatic Center for a family-friendly, inexpensive pool close to Moore.

Family-Friendly Yoga

Help your kids find their center this summer with family-friendly yoga classes! It’s never too early to start finding balance between the mind and body. Spirit House Yoga provides classes suitable for all ages. Taking your kid to weekly yoga classes over the summer can be fun and a great way for you to share in the activity, too!

These are just a few ways to keep your kids active this summer. There are probably a million more activities you can get into, though. All you have to do is be creative and give it a little thought. But remember, the key to getting your kid off the couch and out being active is to make the experience fun as well as good for them physically!
