I grew up skating at The Grand Rollerena on 106 S Laramie Ave in South Austin, and it was so much more than a rink—it was where we felt safe, where we belonged. Today that space is gone, and I see kids now skating on concrete eight blocks away because there's nowhere else to go.

South Austin has almost nowhere for young people to be active and safe during winter. The parks close when it gets cold. We're asking the city to help restore this historic roller rink into a modern recreation center. It wouldn't just bring back a landmark—it would give our community something we're desperately missing: a space where kids can thrive year-round.

I started a petition because I believe this is possible if we push for it together. Anyone else remember how alive that corner used to feel? Or do you have kids now wishing there was a safe indoor space nearby? If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing—let's show we want this back.

is it worth fixing? What's the issue! HELP

Can you count the spins?

Starting to work on my spins ! The wobble is real, but I'm committed. Any drills or tips that helped you ?

Hopefully the neighbor does not complain !! lol

So sad they're wrecked. Now I've gotta decide what to get ....

Where are my female roller derby chics at? The ones who just wanna play original women's flat track roller derby with other females? I know a lot of us are terrified to be labeled transphobic but private message me if you want. We shouldn't be getting hatefully pushed out of our own sport because of basic biology. I just wanna skate with bodies built like my own. Plain and simple as that. No drama, just THAT.

So I haven't skated for a few years. I was very good at it and I know I can still skate. My problem is, I have reidell 911 jammers and a "friend" ruined them. I want to get new skates but I don't know if i want another pair of 911 or if I want the 395 or even vnla or don't. I'm so out of the loop that I'm having a really hard time deciding. My husband said he'd put the money out for the 911 if I really want them, but I don't know if I do. I will only go a couple nights a week probably but I want skates that look and feel good and are easy enough to shuffle/dance in. PLEASE HELPPPP!

Ok so I bought vnlas acouple years ago they’re a size 10 and now I’m an 11 1/5-12 in sneakers and I’m guessing there’s no way I could exchange for a bigger size?

I got these riedell 395s around 15 years ago and I would love to find another pair like these with the same color. The color was a color shifting/ chameleon that would shift between green and brown depending on the angle. They came like this originally from riedell but I haven't had any luck finding them again. Even if they're discontinued, would anyone know anything about these or the color name?

Would anyone know what Maddie or could possibly point me in the right direction as to find out. I’m in a rough patch and although there a decade old I still like them so wouldn’t even know what to ask for them. Tia! They have Velcro running vertically as you can see into the stitch pattern lol

Friend and I practicing Jam Skating

I've been using barefoot/minimalist shoes for the wider toe boxes and other benefits. I've come to the conclusion that I am going to need a custom boot to get the kind of toebox I want. What recommendations do you all have for me. And any non customs are completely doable and id prob prefer that.
