SIMS Street Snakes wheels are back
After years of (not so) patiently waiting, SIMS roller skate wheels are back on the market.
The original SIMS wheels were a must-have for any old-school skater. Unfortunately due to some reason or another, I’ve heard many different stories over the years, SIMS wheels were discontinued. That meant that if you needed to replace your set of SIMS, you couldn’t! The only place up until recently you could find original SIMS wheels were on forums or auction sites. Although because of their rarity they would cost an arm and a leg.

That was until now. Re-released and better than ever, SIMS Street Snakes wheels are back.
Just as you remember them! Or if you’re too young, trust me, they’re the best.
They’re back in the UK. Measuring 62mm and offering amazing grip thanks to the 78A durometer. Thanks to Shiner Ltd for bringing them back
I’m one happy roller skater……

Roller Derby Trans 400 Kids Roller Skates
Right then, how about we take a look at the Roller Derby Trans 400 adjustable kids skates. These roller skates are available in white/lilac or blue/grey and offer added value for money as they are an adjustable skate with three sizes for the price of one.
The boot has a hard shell with a high ankle support for maximum protection for little ones. These roller skates also offer a “deluxe comfort removable liner”, sounds good huh?
With three sizes for the price of one, it is ideal for younger, first-time roller skaters. However, depending on your budget it may be worth spending a few extra pounds and looking for an adjustable skate with four sizes for the price of one.
That said, the Roller Derby Trans 400 roller skate for boys and girls is an ideal introductory quad skate. The ability to adjust the skates as your child’s feet grow, the solid nature of the boot and the high ankle support make this a very good kids roller skate.
