Vanilla Break-In Guide

2007-11-20T15:22:00.000-06:00

Step One:

Grab two pair of thick tube socks.
Get one pair of socks wet with hot water.
Place the wet pair of socks over the dry pair of socks already on your feet.
Install your feet into your new Vanillas and lace them up tight.
Be careful when you walk around - the outsoles will be slippery.

Step Two:

Spend 60 minutes letting the boots form to your foot. The hot water will soften up the supports and inside layers of leather.

Step Three:

Remove the insole and laces from your new skates.
Use a hair dryer to dry the skates as best you can.
Let them dry for at least 24 hours before mounting them.
Now you are ready to enjoy years of comfort and style with your new boots!

If you have any questions, just call us toll free at 866.98.DERBY or you can contact Vanilla directly at 800.714.4628.

Radar SpeedRay BigRay

2007-11-16T16:56:00.000-06:00

Can you handle it?

We found them.
The original Radar SpeedRay BigRay is back and we recommend you grab them now while you still can.
They're extra large at 70mm and that will result in more roll for less effort, and you will go faster.
They are the same high quality grippy compound as the normal SpeedRays, so you'll have excellent grip around the corners.

Radar SpeedRay BigRay.
We have these on sale right now for only $59.99.
The price will likely increase soon.
Enjoy.

TOE STOPS!

2007-11-07T16:55:00.000-06:00

We have all of new toe stops listed!!
Nine different stoppers, including the excellent Snyder, Nova, Probe, SpeedGrabber, etc, etc.
Check the toe stops out here!

We recommend the Snyder toe stops. They're real rubber and the best stops ever made.
The Sure-Grip Grey Cream is also great. Very similar compround to the Snyders, but not as expensive.

Help Tequila Mockingbird

2007-11-07T11:51:00.000-06:00

"On August 25, 2007, Tequila Mockingbird, a veteran Chicago roller derby player for The Fury, fell and seriously injured her spinal cord during a bout. That night her team huddled in the hospital and vowed to support her throughout her recovery. Since that day, Tequila has been in hospitals, relearning old skills : how to hold a pen, feed herself, and operate her wheelchair. She has been a roller girl since 2004 and is known for always hustling and pushing herself, being a role model for all skaters, and helping her team win 2 championships. The injury has limited most of the movement in her limbs, restricting her freedom, independence, and most importantly, her ability to work. Tequila is a fighter who wants to make a full recovery; however, she needs our support to make it possible.
Be part of this effort."
