✦ First State Skate Club ✦
The Speed Shop
A real one-stop shop in the back of the rink — skates, wheels, bearings, bags and every accessory a skater needs. The things you cannot buy in this county today, stocked where you skate.
A real one-stop shop in the back of the rink — skates, wheels, bearings, bags and every accessory a skater needs. The things you cannot buy in this county today, stocked where you skate.
That's the promise the shop is built on: members buy through the club at member prices — cheaper than anywhere else. The club buys through its dealer accounts and passes distributor pricing through at member rates. The shop isn't just a place to spend — it's a reason to join.
Member rates on everything on the wall — skates, wheels, bearings, bags, accessories. Modest markup for the public; members come first.
Order at the club desk in the members' area and your gear lands at the rink. No online checkout yet — the desk is the store, and it's staffed by people who skate.
The shop bench fits it, mounts it and tunes it before it ever touches the floor. You don't leave with a box — you leave rolling.
The names that built speed skating — carried through the club's dealer accounts, stocked for speed first.
Through the club's dealer accounts — Southeastern Skate Supply (Roanoke, VA — rink people since 1947) · RC Sports (Lenexa, KS) · Bont, direct · Skate One for Bones. Accounts open in that order, and the wall fills as they land.
The shop stocks for the ladder the club races on. Spark kids start in honest gear, League racers step into the club-racing standard, and the Elite travel team orders the best in the world through the club — fitted and mounted at the bench.
Where the fire starts. An entry race package — boots, wheels, the good bearings — plus a helmet and the team duffel. Real gear, sized right, at a starter price.
The club-racing standard: Luigino and Bont boots, Atom wheels, Bones and KwiK bearings. The package that races Wednesday nights all winter.
Bont customs and top-shelf race wheels, ordered in through the club and paid up front — no guesswork, no stock risk, just your name on the box when it lands.

Every racer's home base: the big, durable team duffel — boots, wheels, helmet, tools, all of it in one bag with the diamond on the side — plus the team uniform. Full-season members get the kit included with their dues; the shop keeps the bags, uniforms and spares on the wall all season.
Sticks & Stones and Twigs & Pebbles skate quads, and the shop stocks like it: rhythm and jam setups, dance wheels, and every lace and cushion that keeps a shuffle skate honest.
Sure-Grip and Riedell setups, from first pair to dance-ready
Radar and RollerBones — the glide the music deserves
Avanti and PowerDyne, mounted and aligned at the bench
VNLA packages — Backspin wheels, Gorilla plates, low-cut style
Laces in every color the lights make, toe stops, guards, bags
Three lines, one per arm of the club — hoodies, sweatshirts, tees and supporter shirts for the people who don't race but belong. Real garments, real print, real photographs of the actual gear — nothing mocked up, nothing cheesy, ever. Each line opens the day its gear is ready.
The club line — hoodies, sweatshirts, tees and supporter shirts under the diamond.
Coming with the clubThe racing line — racing hoodies, crews and tees for the Flyers and the travel team.
Coming with the clubThe shuffle line — hoodies, tees and sweatshirts under the crossed sticks and stones.
Coming with the clubThe bench keeps the whole club rolling — and the junior crew works it under the coach, learning the trade one bearing at a time.
Boots sized and fitted by people who race in them
Plates and frames mounted, aligned and checked
Cleaning and swaps — the good ones, kept good
Rotated and flipped so a set wears even and lasts
Plainly: there's no online checkout yet. You order at the club desk in the members' area at Dover Skating Center — members at member prices, cheaper than anywhere else — and your gear lands at the rink, fitted at the bench. Customs and elite boots order in the same way. Skaters buy where they skate.
