This store is designated as a skateshop & is one at its core, but don't let that deter you if you…read morearen't a skater because honestly the front half of the store is basically all kinds of really cute home goods that have a place in any home. I am certainly not a skater, but I will always find myself popping in here whenever I'm strolling through downtown Rochester to see what new goodies they have in store. I've bought some cute salt & pepper shakers here before, pins, prints, pillows, socks, gifts for friends who have babies, Michigan merch, and I've definitely been really tempted by some of their cool, adventure-proof canvas bags as well. And if you do have skater friends in your life, then DEFINITELY check out the back half of this store intently. Every time I come in here, I question whether or not today is the day that I start learning how to skateboard because so many of their boards look so freaking cool, I just want to be cool enough to own one. Perhaps one day...:)

Anything todo with skates, repairs, sharpening, profiling. Simply the best skate guy. He was…read moretrained by the guy who sharpens the red wings skates. Very knowledgable and friendly service. I can't recommend this place enough. Skate sharpening seems like it's easy but it isn't. If you have questions about how they feel, turning, straight line performance, just ask. I had no idea how much sharpening skates is more of a craft then a basic process.

My mom and I took my nephew here since my brother and SIL were in town for an anniversary e…read more Open from noon to 8PM on Saturday. $16 for two hours of skating and $25 for all day skating. They do lock-in skating events usually during holidays mostly. There are tables for the folks that aren't skating and they have Wi-Fi and a parent room that's quieter. Two seat high tables along the fence for the minor kids and a bunch of random couches by the main entrance. The parent room provides a bit of shelter from the constant noise of wheels rolling over metal plates at the top and bottom of a ramp. The interior is a big open warehouse. Fenced in for the skaters. Not fancy, but lots of different ramps for skateboarding, rollerblading or for razor scooters. My nephew wanted to try out every ramp to see which one was to his liking. Do bring a book, noise canceling headset and maybe a phone charger too. If you need snacks, Kroger is just across Stephenson and Penn Station subs just a half a mile away. They do have some snacks in the 3 vending machine. Probably a bit more fun coming with friends. My nephew felt a bit comfy after a half hour of getting the lay of the land. It can feel a bit chilly in the warehouse. My nephew said there's some fun ramps and runs, he was getting toasty running around some. Not me. He walks some and studies them ahead of skating to see what's on the other side to make sure there aren't any stairs on the other side of a ramp. My nephew likes the two half circle ramp with the flat landing in between. He also enjoyed the bowl, which has a slope to enter it.

I forgot to snag some photos, but I will be back soon to take some! *COVID-19 Update* The employee was wearing a mask which was awesome and limited how many people came into the store at once. Skate shops in general are having a hard time getting stock due to the pandemic, but this place has received more shipments than most places I've been to.

This place does the best skate sharpening. It doesn't matter who you get to work on your skates,…read morethey will always turn out great. If I still lived in metro Detroit this would be the only place that touched my ice skates. I have never had a flat spot on my blades and I have used these guys 2x/month for 2 years. They customize how sharp your edges are per your request. I had my blades profiled here and love the way they turned out. The only problem is that you lose a good deal of your blade that way as they grind it down to adjust the profile. They run about $1 more than a pro shop would charge but it is well worth it. How many times has some kid sharpened your skates to have only 3 of the 4 edges sharp and you lose an edge all game because of it. FYI, They only accept cash.

The service was awesome! I love passionate employees they are THE BEST. Also, the inventory was a bit slim when I visited in January, which the employees mentioned was a time when they are moving and have moved/sold most of their product for the season. For the most part the value was great. They even worked out a deal for me when I put together a big order, so the value was also good on snowboard gear. Thanks for the assistance.

Best ski shop in the area. Their youth ski rental program is great for kids who can take advantage…read more After taking advantage of the program for many years with both my boys, because my son is a harder than average skier, we decided he needed more aggressive equipment than was offered in the program. The Ski Company usually has a few pairs of higher end demo skis (very gently used factory demonstrators) available and that's what we opted to buy instead for a price well below list. I have also bought quite a few pairs of skis for myself based on thier recommendations, and couldn't be happier. Prices are always fair. This is the only ski shop I will buy from in MI.
