Net Chatting Society of Anyone Choosing to Care

I was at the AVP beach volley ball on Manhattan Beach, California a few weeks back and saw these new kids quad skates called SKORPIES kids skates.

While in between matches these guys from Skorpion Sports took the stage and introduced the crowd to Skorpion Skates and specifically their new kids skate Skorpies, cue some Michael Jackson music enter cute blondie on pink skates, do a little roller dance routine.

Having my own cute little girl who loves pink I went straight over to the Skorpion stand to have a look. This girl must have been only 7 but looked really comfortable and stable on a stage and dancing. Down on the stand I spoke with some of the guys, one of whom was the owner and designer all the way from down under in New Zealand. Their instructor richard Humphrey took me for a skate on the adult model (skorpion Quadlines) to demonstrate just how stable they are. I’ve never really skated much but in ten minutes with Richard I was all good. Thank you Richard!! The Skorpion Quadline skates are like a super funky updated version of the retro roller skates; you wear your own shoes and strap yourself to the footplate with easy to use ratchet bindings, like ski bindings if you’ve ever done that.

The SKORPIES kids skates footplate adjusts to multiple sizes which is great for us parents so they can grow with you rather than have to keep buying new ones, Skorpion even have their own version of the retro wing nut on the underside for the adjustment. The salepersons dream that I am I ended up purchasing a pair for my daughter and a pair for myself both in Pink. My daughter took to her SKORPIES like a duck to water, and now we make time to go out skating together, it’s great to get out of the house and do something really fun together.

Roll-on the holidays so we can get out together and skate more often.
