We are very excited about these skates. We have been working with Dominion Skate Co. for the past six months to develop these boots for roller derby!  Dominion is a Canadian roller skate manufacturer that has been making skates since 1963.  The Dominion 99G Thunder (Gold) and the 99G Libertine (Blue) are the first speed/derby boot made on a woman’s last and are made in women’s sizes.  They are a full leather upper with a poly gold or blue lighweight but durable fabric outer.  They come standard with some of the lightest aluminum plates on the market making them appropriate for women of all sizes who want a quality skate.  Revolutionary thin sole to help make the whole boot lighter on your feet.  These are some of the best skates on the market – don’t be fooled by the price!  No importing or exchange fees enable us to keep the price of these skates down….Check out our online store www.rollerbug.com to see a full line of our products!

Just started skating on these super narrow wheels.  We skate on treated concrete and it is pretty slippery so I definitely like the grip of the 88A Stalker wheels.  They offer just enough grip to still get some power from your stride while the super narrow profile means they are still speedy wheels. I didn’t feel that the grip was holding me back speed wise at all.  Heartless is dedicated to making narrow profile wheels for derby skaters who are interested in and working towards ultimate agility in and through the pack.  They have succeeded with this wheel!  In addition to being a high performance wheel I also love the way they look.  Definitely the coolest designed wheels and I am also a sucker for black wheels – I wish all wheels came in black!  Whether you are a jammer or a blocker if you are looking for a grippy wheels and to increase your agility I highly recommend these wheels.
