When you think about science, technology, engineering and mathematics, you might summon an image of fighter jets doing Mach 1 or an astronaut doing a space walk. But did you know that roller skating has had a huge impact on Oklahoma’s STEM programs?

It’s true! And at Skate Moore, we’ve made the extra effort to ensure your kids are getting the STEM experience they need to become the nation’s next leaders in innovation!

Skating is all about physics. Understanding the hows and whys of skating can give your kids some really great insights into the fundamentals of matter in motion. Getting from point A to point B might seem like a no brainer but there’s a lot going on under the radar to make it happen.

Rolling, Pushing and Turning; It’s All Physics!

When you push off with your wheels and start rolling forward, the backward thrust of the push is what sets you in motion. Your wheels and bearing reduce friction allowing you to roll. The smoother the surface, the less resistance your skates have to deal with which means you’ll go even farther and even faster the smoother the surface is.

In physics this is called the law of momentum, which states that an object in motion will stay in motion until an outside force causes it to slow down or stop. In this case, you can think about your breaks as that outside force. At Skate Moore, out polished hardwood roller rink is so perfect for gliding on wheels that you’re liable to keep going forever if you don’t have breaks. Your breaks create friction and slow your momentum.

Proudly Supporting National STEM Day

National STEM day is coming up quick and on November 8^th, we’ll be celebrating all the amazing things science continues to bring to us as a society. Come down and join us at Skate Moore to learn more about how your kids can get involved!

Are you ready for the spookiest, scariest, hocus-pocus-filled day of the year? It’s Halloween and we couldn’t be more pumped here at Skate Moore in Moore, Oklahoma! But no matter how much you love Halloween, sometimes the scariest part can be coming up with the perfect costume.

Don’t get too bent out of shape, though. We have some great costume ideas for you this Halloween. Check them out and don’t forget to roll over to celebrate with us at Skate Moore this October!

• Disco Skater – Revisit roller skating’s heyday with some bell bottoms and a flashy silk shirt. You’re sure to skate with serious style all night long.
• Roller Derby Girl – Lace up your high-tops and don your favorite high-waisted shorts with a jersey and you’ll be ready to throw a shoulder block with the best of them … or at least look the part.
• Pun Costumes – Okay, so maybe punny costumes aren’t exactly skating related. But they’re still fun and as long as you’re on skates, it’s all good. You could get a red wig and a baguette and call yourself a gingerbread man. The social butterfly is a good one too. Simply buy or make butterfly wings and print out some social media icons to tape to your shirt!
• Group Costumes – the only thing better than dressing up is dressing up with a group of friends. From soda bottles to rock, paper, scissors, there are tons of great group ideas out there.

No matter what you decide on, though, everything is more fun in a costume. Be sure to prepare early and give us a call at Skate Moore to find out what’s going on here for Halloween this year!

October has a lot going for it. The weather is finally comfortable again, fall colors are making the landscape beautiful and Halloween is right around the corner. But most importantly, it’s national roller skating month! At Skate Moore in Moore, Oklahoma, that’s our favorite part!

Skating is a fun and healthy way to enjoy your fall season and now that it’s officially roller skating month, why not lace up and go for a spin?

Benefits of Skating

If you’re on the fence about trying skating or feel like it’s been too long and you’ve forgotten how, don’t worry about a thing. Learning (or relearning) is easy and you’ll be amazed at some of the benefits you’ll get out of it, too.

Whether you’re skating indoor on traditional quad skates with us at Skate Moore, or you’re hitting the streets in your inline skates, you’ll be burning up to 600 calories every hour. That’s a close equivalent to running but without the wear and tear on your joints and bones.

You’ll also get an amazing cardiovascular workout which means better heart health and a lowered risk of heart disease!

The Perfect Time of Year

It’s no wonder October is National Skating Month. The weather is perfect for skating outdoors or inside. With the school year getting its rhythm, Skate Moore is the perfect place to have a birthday party or a school fundraiser. Plus, when you skate, your Halloween costume potential goes through the roof!

If you want to find out more about what’s going on at Skate Moore during October, give us a call or stop by during our open skating times!

So you’ve made the jump from rentals to owning your own skates, huh? Congratulations! Prepare to take your skating to the next level. Once you’ve broken in your new skates, you’ll start to feel your turns become more reactive, your control more crisp, and your comfort level way beyond anything you ever felt in a rental.

At Skate Moore in Moore, Oklahoma, we want to make sure you get the most out of your skates by giving you tips to maintain and care for them.

Basic Roller Skate Maintenance

Whether you’re on a roller derby squad, getting into speed skating, or like to jam skate (aka dance on wheels), there is general maintenance that all skates need to keep them rolling smoothly.

• Make sure you keep your boots dry. Wet leather will wear out quickly get deformed and ruin your skates in a hurry.
• Check your trucks often. Make sure your trucks are tight to your boots and check them often. Loose trucks can mess up your skating and even become dangerous.
• Keep your wheel bearings clean.  Nothing makes your skates feel smoother than a pair of good, clean bearings. Check that they’re spinning right and that they’re clean. Change them out when needed and keep them dry.

These are the basics of roller skate maintenance and should keep you rolling if you pay attention to these tips. Keeping your skates well maintained will extend the life of your skates and make your overall skating experience a better one. For more tips, drop by Skate Moore and talk to our crew in the Pro Shop today!

School is back in session and it’s time to get the kids back into a routine. This year, why not try to add something a little different to their weekly after-school activities? At Skate Moore, our roller skating center is perfect for keeping your kids active and out of trouble after school.

Of course, kids want to have fun after hitting the books all day, but they might not always want to exercise. At Skate Moore, they’ll get both without even realizing it!

Make Skating a Regular Event

We have open rink times all week long but you might want to think about taking advantage of our Thursday Cheap Skate special! Save big on admission every Thursday night all school year long from 6 pm to 9 pm. For only $6 you get three hours of skating which means your kids will have three hours to let loose, have fun, and get some great exercise.

Did you know that you can burn up to 600 calories an hour roller skating? Plus, skating is much easier on your body than other forms of cardio and aerobic exercise. Your kids will never realize it, though. They’ll be too busy having fun and playing our classic skating games.

Great Times with Great Friends

You’ll meet people from all over at the skating center and it’s a perfect place to make new friends. As a family-oriented activity center, you don’t have to worry about your kids getting into trouble or falling in with the wrong crowd. At Skate Moore, we provide a fun and safe environment for all ages!

Start Your New Routine with Skate Moore

So if you’re looking for a new way to keep the kids happy, get them to shed some of the extra energy and make great new friends, make Skate Moore part of your after-school routine this year. Give us a call or roll by to learn more!

School is back in session throughout the Oklahoma City area and at Skate Moore, we’re ready to make the transition easier for everyone! Roller skating is a great source of exercise for children and parents alike. Plus, it’s a great activity to keep families having fun together through the fall and winter months.

Skate Moore is offering Moore School District elementary school students a chance to experience roller skating for fun, fitness, and rewards this school year! Here’s how it works:

Sign Your School Up!

Signing your school up for a PTA fundraiser at Skate Moore is easy. Simply call us up and let us know you are interested in getting your school involved in the super fun activity of indoor skating. Also, make sure to let us know how many students will be participating and we’ll take care of the rest.

Once everyone has signed up, each school will receive their scheduled night. The Skate Center makes coupons for each student to be handed out at school. The more announcements your school makes turns into more dollars for your school!

Our PTA parties happen every Thursday from 6 pm-9 pm and the charge is a nominal fee of $4.00 per person including regular quad-skate rentals.

Make Money for Your School!

Fundraising at Skate Moore is fun and easy. All you have to do is get as many of your students out to the rink and make sure they bring all of their friends and family. For every admission we receive during your school’s PTA night, $1.00 goes directly to the school. That could end up being hundreds of dollars that can be used toward field trips, school supplies, and more!

Just remember that promotion is the key to a good turn out. Stop by and take a warm-up skate to get pumped up for the event and spread your enthusiasm leading up to the event. We have open skating times all week long so roll by and check us out!

If Skate Moore in Moore, Oklahoma, is becoming one of your weekly or even daily go-to spots, it might be time to consider making the switch from rental skates to owning your own! But even if you don’t skate every week, you shouldn’t overlook the benefits of owning skates. Check out a few of our guidelines to know when it’s time to buy versus when renting will do just fine.

When to Rent Skates

Obviously, beginners should take advantage of our skate rentals, but there are some other good reasons to keep renting as well. Picking up rental skates is a great way to feel out the perfect fit. Skates that are too big or too small can cause all kinds of problems. So, before you buy, make sure you get your size dialed in by renting a few different pairs of skates.

Figuring out the type of skate that you want is also important. At our pro shop, you’ll find everything from speed skates to roller derby styles and everything in between. Take some time to experience the different styles of skating with rentals and then move onto making the right purchase!

It’s Time to Buy!

Having your own pair of skates will take your time at the rink to the next level. There’s really nothing quite like having skates that fit your feet perfectly and no matter what your skating style is, you’ll do better in skates that you own.

If you skate once a month or more, it’s definitely worth investing in a pair of your own. Buying not only ensures you’ll have the perfect fit for your foot every time you roll out onto the hardwoods, but it’ll also save you money in the long run. Renting roller or inline skates from us at Skate Moore isn’t too costly, but it can add up over time.

If you’re going to get into roller derby, racing, or inline street skating, you will definitely want to purchase a custom-fitted pair of skates, too. Luckily, we stock all the styles, brands and sizes you need right here at our pro shop! Roll by and find your perfect fit today at Skate Moore in Moore, Oklahoma.
