I was at the AVP Crocs beach vollyball at Manhattan Beach, California a while back and saw these new kids quad skates called SKORPIES kids skates.
While in between matches team Skorpion took the stage and introduced the crowd to Skorpion Skates and specifically their new kids’ skate called SKORPIES, cue some Michael Jackson music enter cute blondie on pink skates, do a little roller dance routine.
Having my own cute little blondie who loves pink I went straight over to the Skorpion stand to find out more. This girl must have been about only 7 yrs old but looked really comfortable and stable on a stage and dancing. Down on the stand I chatted with 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 Quadline model to show me just how stable they are. I’ve never really skated much but in only 10 minutes with Richard I was all good. Thank you Richard!! The Quadlines are like a super cool updated version of the old style roller skates, you wear your own shoes and buckle yourself to the footplate with easy to use ratchet bindings, like snow boards or if you’ve ever done that.
The SKORPIES kids skates footplate can adjust to 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 old style wing nut on the underside for the footplate. The salepersons dream that I am I ended up buying a pair for my girl and a pair for myself both in Pink. My girl took to her SKORPIES like ducks to water, 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 our next vacation so that we can get out everyday.
