Plan the Perfect Valentine’s Day Date

January 24, 2019 by Writers Leave a Comment

Couple making a heart shape with their handsValentines Day will be here before we know it! It’s time to make plans to spend quality time with your someone special, and skating is the perfect way to do it! Whether you two are on your first date or a fiftieth, a trip to Skate Moore is the way to go!

Here are some benefits of combining skating and dating:

    • Skating is Fun and Interactive – Everyone loves a nostalgic activity and nothing will make you feel like a kid again the way roller skating does!
    • It’s Not the Same Old Date – Skating is much more memorable than dinner and a movie, and it’s the perfect way to change up your routine. Dinner and a movie is tired, instead choose skating to keep things interesting and show your special someone that you’re creative.
    • Active Engagement is Best – Let’s be honest, most of us could stand to be more active. That reason alone is enough to avoid sedentary dates and instead do something that will get your heart racing. Roller skating is great for toning your lower body, building core strength, improving balance. You can even get a good cardio workout, all while having fun with your Valentine. Plus, active engagement builds stronger connections than idle, passive activities like watching a movie.

And why should Valentine’s Day get all the love? Whether you’re looking for a unique Valentine’s Day date or just planning a random date night, roller skating in Moore is the perfect solution. So check out our hours and make your date plans today!

New Skates, New You!

January 11, 2019 by Writers Leave a Comment

Bringing in the new year represents a fresh start, but why can’t it mean fresh skates too?

Our pro shop has everything you need to skate through 2019. The pro shop has ten different styles of skates and has varying options based on your skating ability. We can help you through the process of deciding what skates are needed based on your level and style of skating. From there, we have everything to make your skates completely customizable, from wheels to laces. We even have attachable pom poms. Don’t forget to check out the protective gear we have on our pro shop site.

If you already have a pair of skates and just need a little update, new wheels are the perfect overhaul. Before buying new wheels for roller skates there are a few things to consider. We have the top ten tips on buying roller skate wheels.

Top Ten Tips For Buying Roller Skate Wheels:

  1. Determine your ideal wheel hardness by analyzing the surface you plan to skate on (softer surfaces = harder wheels and vice versa).
  2. A wheel’s diameter will affect acceleration, speed, stability, and weight while you skate.
  3. Wheels weigh a lot! In fact, they’re a large percentage of the skate’s overall weight.
  4. Watch your constant patch. That’s the overall amount of the wheel’s surface area touching the ground. A wider constant patch means more stability, but slower skating.
  5. The smoothness of your glide depends on the wheel’s hub and core materials.
  6. Tread is not as important as you think it is.
  7. Acceleration and roll time changes based on the skater’s weight.
  8. Count your pennies and pick something in your budget.
  9. Show off your signature style with fun colors or glitter.
  10. Choose your wheels, boots, and bearings based on the type of skating you do most often.

We hope with these helpful tips and tricks, 2019 will be a skate through the park. If you do have any other questions about skates or materials, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Maybe the reason more people don’t follow through with their resolution is because they haven’t found the right way to exercise. At Skate Moore in Moore, OK, we might just have the solution for you. Make exercise fun!

Make it Fun

We know it’s hard to get motivated, especially when exercising isn’t the most enjoyable thing to do. That’s why roller skating at Skate Moore is such a great option. it’s not only a great workout that’s easy on your joints and your wallet, it’s also a ton of fun.

We offer open skate sessions most days of the week, making our skate center a great place to go to help keep your 2019 resolution going strong. Give us a call or roll by to find out more about our open skating times, roller derby leagues, and much more!

Celebrate National STEM day at Skate Moore

November 1, 2018 by Writers Leave a Comment

Science and MathWhen 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 8th, 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!

  • 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.

Maintain Your Skates to Get the Most Life Out of Them!

September 20, 2018 by Writers Leave a Comment

roller skatesSo 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!
