Inline Sports

I needed to replace a 20 year old set of wheels on some roller blades from my childhood. After explaining I just wanted to play in the park with my old roller blades, the owner (I think) kindly pointed out the three or four options at the low end of the price range, and when I asked if there was any point in spending more than the absolute cheapest for my purpose said «no.» Next, he showed me how to take the bearings out of the old wheels, suggested I add some oil to them, but told me whatever I already had for my bike would work fine. I appreciated his help, the way he stepped away while I made a decision on what to purchase, the way he seemed as friendly to a casual skater as to someone serious about the sport, and that he made no attempt to pressure a novice into buying more than she needed.

Not open on time. A nut and bolt cost 5 bucks and no receipt, he knew I need that nut and bolt at the time and he use it — would never come back.

Mike and everyone here are awesome. Probably the only place in the world where they sell hockey gear, patio furniture, barbecue pits, and rare hot sauces.

My goodness. Someone was in a testy mood. My last few interactions here have been nothing but pleasant. One of the guys there (the one with the beard) is ultra helpful, warm and accommodating. The other guy (blonde, I think) is a bit prickly and was impatient with me from the get-​go. I’d asked questions like, «When do you think the repairs will be done?» I think that’s a reasonable question when leaving skates to be repaired. When I followed up with a call at the end of the following day and asked if they were ready (they didn’t call as they said they would), he said, with blunt annoyance, «Yes, they’re ready.» (I wish I could convey the tone, it was like, «for the thousandth time, I told you it was ready.») And then there was silence.
He should have said, «Ah, yes. We were just about to call you. We did this, we changed that and it’s working well now. We’re open until 7 today and in the morning we open at 10 etc.» Or something encouraging like that. And he’d answered the phone with a short, «Nova.» That may be their official name, but it’s not a great way to greet guests. Answering the phone by just saying, «Nova» does not let the caller know that they have called a pool, barbecue and inline skate shop!
I was kind of taken aback.
I was so upbeat about this place, too. Gosh, I’m disappointed.

What has happened to these guys?
This is the second attempt to order wheels and bearings from the site. Get a confirmation email saying the order was placed and that is as far as it went. Sent emails to every contact that they have listed and not one response back.
Not even sure they are actually still in business.

Location: COSTCO AND MCDONALDS Plaza (look for the patio furniture sign). The gps shows it across the street that threw us for a loop.
This is still the same great place. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I have been shopping here since I was a kid for my hockey gears. The selection is pretty good they have a bunch of gears for roller and ice. You can easily find all your gears in here. This place is a must visit. Totally a hidden gem and you get to shoot around in the back of the store. Winnnnnerrrrrrr!
Thank you Mike for helping me out!

My best friend and I have been on the hunt for a paid of roller blades, and yesterday, we came across this place, it is AWESOME!
My best friend and I were there for about an hour, trying out different types of skates, and the gentleman that worked there knew exactly what he was talking about and was very friendly. He told us the name of the skates and what the warranty covered. The skates were a bit pricey, but the guy brought it down from $ 279.00 to $ 200 quit, it was awesome!
She rode around several types of skates but in the end, we went with those and were incredibly pleased! We then went to look up reviews on the skates and all of them are positive! I recommend this place for skating stuff!
Oh, and as a tip for location; it is located in the same plaza as Costco, next to McDonald’s. Check it out!
