I was at the AVP Crocs beach vollyball at Manhattan Beach, CA a while back and saw these new kids quad skates called SKORPIES kids skates.

While in between matches these guys from Skorpion Sports took the stage and introduced the crowd to Skorpion Skates and specifically their new kids skate 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 to the Skorpion stand to find out more. This girl must have been only 7 but looked really comfortable and stable on a stage and dancing. Down on the stand I spoke with some of 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 spin on the adult model (skorpion Quadlines) to show me just how stable they actually are. Well I have never really skated before but in only 10 minutes with Richard I was all good. Thanks to Richard!! The Skorpion Quadline skates are like a super trendy 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 adjusts to multiple sizes which is great for us parents so our kids can grow with you rather than have to keep buying new skates, they 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 purchasing a pair for my daughter and a pair for myself both in Pink. My daughter took to her SKORPIES like a duck to water, and now we make time to go out skating together, it’s awesome to get out of the house and do something really fun together.

I say roll-on our next vacation so we can get out every day.
