Get Inline

I remember as a kid there was a distinction to be made between being a skateboarder and an inline skater. I chose the former but kept this quiet as I strolled into Get Inline, Bristol’s only inline and ice skate shop.
Sometimes you get a business where they’re sort of interested in what they do and sometimes you find one where they push it and push it and push it. Not just satisfied with selling ice and inline hockey gear the staff here have taken to teaching and coaching in local schools. They teach ice hockey at the ice rink, hockey in local schools and colleges and even offer one on once classes. It’s the wide range of pads and equipment that really surprised me and is another sign that they really are worth their salt down here. They do have a few skateboards (hurrah!) but it’s not their speciality. Pop in and see what is.

Balance is not my friend at the best of times, so it’s not too much surprise that I try to avoid anything with a blade and ice. This means that I am pretty clueless when it comes to Ice Hockey, Ice Skating or anything similar.
However, I can appreciate that Get Inline is pretty immense when it comes to buying anything to do with ice. Plus the staff really know what they are talking about and are more than happy to explain whether a product is worth the money without being biased.
Even if you are not looking to buy anything, it’s worth going in as they have some really good information on upcoming events and competitions.
