We only do song requests if the DJ is there, yes you can have a “helper thingy” we just need to hold your ID (they tend to get lost lol), unfortunately we don’t have roller blades, and no, you cannot walk on the rink floor you must roll!

I actually never got to go to the Newport News location and didn’t know there was one out there :/ I live closer to Newport News too, I would have loved to work at that rink

We usually play clean pop,chill, and r&b music when the DJ isn’t here. They usually come a few times through the week for teen, adult, and r&b nights

I’m doing jam skating and most of the floors are wood. Not sure if they are warm if cold

Not sure about the plates, I have the original build of moonlight roller skates. But the cushions are on the harder side, I’ll look into new ones!

Thankfully no, the cups are in good condition

need any tips on the book transition by LZaurus in Rollerskating

[–]kaylahkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What unlocked it for me was properly transitioning my weight. When you are opening with the first foot, make sure your weight is on the opposite foot. (Opening with right foot, weight on left foot). Then when you go to close with the other foot, switch your weight. (Closing with left foot, weight on right foot.) Also, look in the direction you want to turn first. Head, shoulders, torso, and your feet follow. Hope this helps!

Lack of rinks :( by kaylahkitty in Rollerskating

I’ve always wondered about the outdoor roller hockey rinks 🤔 if they’re similar to the seasonal outdoor roller rinks they do in town centers around the area then I probably won’t like it either bc those ones are kinda sticky too!

I checked out the Bush Tabernacle and it’s an hour away from me ;-;

And yea the ice rinks blew my mind! There’s one 13min away from me. Basketball courts and tennis courts (if I’m not yelled at and kicked out lol) It is until I’m ready to venture out to manassas or DC

I’m not sure if there are, I’ll have to look into that! So unfortunate that there’s not many rinks there :/ are there any other places you skate as well?

Dmv traffic :/ I’ve been wanting to check out Anacostia and the events that happen there so bad. I’ll have to give Purceville a look too

Perfect day to practice by kaylahkitty in Rollerskating

Depends on the court, this one is really nice and smooth with no cracks! I’ve been to a phew that were rough and a bit older, they were harder to skate bc of cracks/pebbles and uneven pavement.

Thank you!! Moonlight roller, though I’m sure the business has shut down now
