Rollerblade Demos

A Summit Sports Demo Day is an excellent way to discover which inline skates will work best for you.  Our expert staff and technical assistance will help you narrow your choices, but rolling on them yourself will help you decide.  Inline Skates have changed a lot over the years.  New composites and lighter weight designs make them more comfortable and supportive than ever.  This is absolutely the best way to check out what’s new and hot in the world of inline skating.

What to Expect

At our demos in addition to bringing out skates for anyone in the family, we also bring protective padding and helmets to ensure a safe and fun experience. All Skaters MUST wear a helmet! We will have a variety of skates for beginners, urban skaters and aspiring racers. On site experts will also help you get into the correct skates that fit your lifestyle.

Expect to get FIT! Inline skating is a fast growing way to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors. Come dressed to enjoy the day and keep cool. Lightweight fabrics and clothing are suggested and can be found at any of our retail locations.

The different types and brands of skates can be overwhelming if you do not know what you are looking for. The sizes of wheels have increasingly gotten larger and bearings smoother over the past few years, this in addition to softer more comfortable boots makes the difference night and day. Come out and treat yourself to our expert service with insight from real inline skaters. We will be glad to narrow down your skater profile and ensure that the skates you try are the skates that you need. Prepare to try several styles and be amazed in the difference the “right” skates can make.

Don’t leave the quality of your inline skating experience up to just anyone, leave it up to you! Although we will be there to help, the final decision should be made by your feet. We look forward to seeing you out there and sharing our love in the sport with you.
