Came in here a couple of weekends ago on the tip-off from Briony. I was searching for a cycle…read morehelmet and not impressed with the style of the typical cycle helmet (I always think they look like alien eggs!) I was searching for a more skate/snowboarding style helmet to wear. 5th Blocker Skates is located above Rig Bike Shop on West Regent Street in town. I found it easily and to my surprise when I walked in I saw an old friend of mine working there! I didn't realise it is actually his partners shop but she was away on a Roller Derby bout so he was covering. Small world! I told Jim I was after a helmet and they had plenty of options ~ different makes/prices in adult & kids sizes & colours from your standard black or white ones to ones designed in a camouflage/army style, a Misfits one or even a watermelon one! Ha ha! Brilliant choice. I picked the colour/style/make I wanted and next was just to find the correct size fitting. After a few tries (I think I tried them all, just for the hell of it! Ha ha!) I found the perfect one. I went for the S-one Lifer helmet in bright pink. Jim told me that although these were a wee bit dearer (£39.99) the reason they're called 'Lifer' is that they are supposed to last you much longer than regular helmets - Jim also told me that apparently once you fall over or even accidentally drop it & it hits the floor you are supposed to replace it. I didn't know that. Before I purchased my hemet I perused the other shop wares & I was amazed by the amazing technicoloured wheels they had in stock; so many beautiful colours/designs! I said it made me want to start doing Roller Derby coz of how cool they looked! I never realised you could customise your skates so much. I also loved the cool laces, skates (kids & adults), socks (I loved the 'SCIENCE', 'BACON' and 'TOFU' ones!) and skate shorts. The Rollerbones ones, complete with skeleton hands on your bum, are excellent and I have vowed to go back and buy some (along with the socks!). If, like me, you are after a 'cooler' (or just a bit nicer) cycle helmet then I urge you to go here. I looked at helmets online & this shop sells them at a better price AND you can try them on properly for size. They have a great range too (unlike some other bike shops I looked in). This shop is brilliant and if you or anyone you know is/are into Roller Derby or rollerskating at all then this is THE place to go for all your needs. I was like a kid in a sweetie shop & I am a pretty rubbish skater but this shop MADE me want to be part of something that is clearly very cool & exciting. Go! Now!

So! Roller Derby, eh?! After hearing friends talk about…read moreRoller Derby and seeing the movie Whip It last year, I was feeling a twinge that maybe I wanted to go watch some Roller Derby. When I finally saw my first Auld Reekie Roller Girls game in Edinburgh, I was hooked. I had fun watching it, but more than anything, I wanted to be down on that track! Fast forward to a week ago and a montage of shots of myself falling a lot, failing at and eventually managing techniques and zooming around a small track with the Capital City Rollers in Leith. Fast forward to today, and I'm in Glasgow buying my starter kit from 5th Blocker! I'm sure my story so far is very familiar to a lot of people who are into Roller Derby in Scotland. It's a good thing this story involves 5th Blocker as well! Since my phone call to them last week to check on stock, I've been met with the same welcoming, patient and friendly attitude I've encountered every step of the way so far among the Roller Derby lot. The shop is tiny and you don't have a lot of space to move around, but everything you need is there. It's a bit cold in the winter months, as their heater is janky, but that's okay. I won't say this "adds to the indie appeal" because that's a term reserved for a special kind of buffoon, but it's something i won't hold against a small shop owned and staffed by people who are passionate about the tiny but growing sport they cater to and indeed compete in themselves. This isn't sports direct or some other shop that sells gear for every sport but doesn't know anything about any of them. They do one thing, and they do it well. Hopefully, Derby will grow to the point where these great folk can expand and operate in more comfortable space, but for now they have everything they need right here. You should definitely make sure you have enough time when you come, though! And call ahead if you have a long way to go. I spent an hour and a half in there getting all my gear tried on, choosing helmets, having new wheels put on my skates (definitely pay the £25 extra to the starter kit to have softer wheels put on unless you're quite big. New wheels are much more expensive to buy after the fact! Plus, you can choose funky colours, and it's never too early to personalise!) etc. PS: vegetarians, rejoice! Not only are the starter kit skates PVC based rather than leather, but they also have vegetarian-friendly options for toe protectors for your boots. It took longer as there was already someone in trying on shoes, but you can't assume you'll be the only customer. The person in there before me was still looking at shoes and pads when I left, and that's cool too! The patience of the 5th Blocker folk seems to know no bounds! So make sure you have the time to spend, and keep a warm coat on, and you'll leave happy as Larry/ Lori. Can't wait to try my kit out tomorrow!!

I have coped two different sneakers here before they came out. Recently was the Jordan 1 Taxis. I had them actually a few days over a month before they were released in the states. As someone that loves fashion...or shall I say sneakers, this makes me happy. There clothing selection is cool as well. They had something for everyone. Now when it comes to pricing it's about the same as the states. Of course their currency is different so make sure if using a card you know what option you want to charge the items. The customer service was great. Oh and the body guard at the front is about 8 feet tall. The man is a giant literally! I thought he was standing on a step stoll but nope. All in all when back in Scotland I will definitely take the time to check them out!

I've shopped in here a couple of times, mainly for leggings and sports bras. They are always more than happy to help. There was one occasion I didn't find a great selection in store, so I was asked to leave my feedback online, so that they could see if any other customers had similar views. I basically love the Nike Pro Leggings range, at the time I found loads online but not in-store! The best bit about this store? The free exercise classes that run from here. On a Thursday from 5.30-6.30, it's Nike Training Club with Cam. Admittedly, a lot of people wouldn't like this. They rope off the middle section of the store, Cam has a boom box and has you sweating instantly, doing an hour of intense core and HIT training, from burpees, to squats and everything in between. So yeah, people look and wonder what's going on. But equally, it's a completely free class! After this from 6.30-7.30 there is the Nike Run Club, Thursday nights are a mix of interval training or timed 5-7km runs. There is a fantastic group of pace runners (seen in the volt yellow tops), who will encourage you around the session. The groups are mixed into times, so faster runs, slower runs etc. Everyone is so friendly. Throughout my sets, the faster runs continually said keep going etc. Sunday mornings start at 10.30, with longer distance runs which tend to last around an hour. Again this is completely free, a changing room is opened up and locked for people to leave there stuff. Many of the Nike staff themselves take part in the run club, so it's great to see a brand actually employing sporty people!

They sell all the usual sports equipment including tennis (very popular in the town), bowling, swimming and general athletic clothing and accessories. They have the advantage of having staff who are knowledgeable about most sports so you are going to get good advice, making it worth paying the slight premium for shopping in the town rather than heading to a superstore elsewhere.
