Derby League opens up Roller Derby Skate Shop in Seattle
The Rat City Rollergirls opened Fast Girl Skates in Seattle WA on Friday evening.
My brain just went... wow! Sorry I don't live in Seattle, that's the coolest think I've ever heard!
It was a bulletin on their myspace:
As I just had a great experience buying new bearings at Underworld, a skate shop here in Montreal, I am a bit jealous because we can't get the brands of wheels we need here, and practice clothes... well it's American Apparel, whatever we can make, our gym clothes... extra team t-shirts, and there' s nothing wrong with that, but man a roller derby retail store?
Neat! I wish Fast Girl Skates a lot of luck, and hope that the success becomes known everywhere and that skate shops will start stocking for roller derby.
