Transport, store and maintain your gear.
The little gear that matters
Getting around on rollers or a skateboard takes a bit of organisation: transporting your skates or board to the skatepark, ice rink or gym, keeping your protective gear clean, and maintaining your wheels and bearings. A few simple accessories make all this easier and extend the life of your gear. In contact sports like roller derby, a mouthguard is part of the required equipment.
The rest of the gear
Rollers and skateboards also come in:
Everything can be found on the rollers and skateboard page.
Transporting your skates
The backpack for skates, like the Chaya Pro, has a compartment or straps to carry a pair of rollers on the outside or inside, separate from clean belongings, along with pockets for the helmet and protective gear. It keeps your hands free while you travel. Chaya, a Dutch brand, is very present in quad roller and derby roller. After each session, air out the protections and skate liners to avoid odours, and avoid leaving the bag closed with damp items inside.
Mouthguard and maintenance
The mouthguard, required in derby roller and recommended in contact sports, should be stored in a ventilated box, like the Sisu, which protects it from bumps and dust between sessions; rinse it with cold water after use. For maintenance, a multi-tool allows you to take off the wheels to rotate them, ensuring even wear, and to clean the bearing. Worn wheels and bearings can be easily replaced, bringing glide back to tired skates.
Good deals
Good bargains can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance sales, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and 24-hour delivery items are prepared and shipped out in 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a steady pattern: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the end-of-year holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by the summer sales and back-to-school.
Frequently asked questions
Why wear a mouthguard in roller derby?
Roller derby is a contact sport where falls and bumps are common. The mouthguard absorbs impacts to the jaw and protects the teeth; it's even required in competition by roller derby leagues.
How to maintain a mouthguard between sessions?
Rinse it with cold water after each session, gently brush it, and let it dry before storing it in a ventilated box, like the Sisu box. Hot water and direct sunlight can deform it.
How to transport rollers and protections without getting everything dirty?
A dedicated backpack, like the Chaya Pro, has straps to attach the skates and separate compartments for the protective gear. This way, the wheels and plates don't touch your clothes or school supplies.
When should you change the bearings on your rollers?
Noisy bearings that are rough or stop quickly when you spin the wheel need to be cleaned or replaced. Riding in the rain speeds up their wear: dry and lubricate them after every wet outing.
How to dry your protections after a roller session?
Take off knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards from the bag as soon as you return, open them up, and let them dry in the air. Regular hand washing or using a mesh bag reduces odours and extends the life of the foam.
