We met for several sessions at her studio and at a skating rink where she gave pointers on safety, improving my form and progressing gradually. I have been skating and getting better over the months and Heather's guidance was invaluable through the journey. I whole heartedly recommend her if you are beginner or even someone who has experience skating as she is sure to help advance your skills.

From the owner: My skate shop is an all rolling Sports shop which means that I actually help out not only regular…read moreroller skating and inline skating that I help out of Derby, hockey, speed skating, skateboarding, regular session skaters, and anyone in between of those disciplines. My skate studio is for all ages and we recommend if the skater is able to walk the skater is able to skate. We also have different types of skating in our studio that we teach including roller Fitness, jam skating, and basic, intermediate, and advance skate lessons. We have a professional on site repair which I can care and repair for your skates. For the youth to teens I also have a life skills lesson which it is shoe tying or what we'll call skate tying. All of our lessons are an hour long, and most skaters that come in only need one to two lessons. We offer a group which is plus two and we offer private lessons as well. Most of the skate orders will be custom orders so if you are looking to actually get a pair of skates or any kind of products make sure you give a turnaround time of 3 Days to a week to order with us!

Love this shop -- everyone is always super friendly.

While shoping in the City of Sugarland, TX we decided to head over to South Side Skate Shop which…read morewas highly recommended. Keep in mind- this decision occured at 5 pm and we were 25 miles away from Huston. My brother and I were dye hard skaters back in the days- 1990's and now my son who is 15 yrs does it. I must say- after being in traffic for a long time- it was worth every gallon and the constant stop and go traffic. Once we arrived- the shop was open and two employees were present. Immediately we were welcomed and we began talking "skate or die" lingo. The two fellas were cool as hell and informative with educating my son. The gear purchased : We ended up buying Thunder Bushings 97, Thunder Bushings 90, Southside Slabs Hardware, Bones Big Balls Reds Bearings, Spitfire Wheels F4 Conical and Stickers! This place was FREASH and Cool!

I took my 10 yr old son who is obsessed with skateboarding to this shop after we found it…read moreonline...Its a cool store with all the stuff you would expect, decks and complete boards accessories and what not. But the dude running the store "Justin" was as cool as they come. My son had brought his new deck in and we needed some grip tape trucks and wheels. Justin was totally informative with what he suggested and just a cool as can be personality wise. Within 30 minutes Justin had custom built my kids board, my son was stoked and so was I. I would recommend this shop to die hard skaters or newcomers as well. Why spend your money at a big box store with the BS they sell when you can get some top-of-the-line equipment at the local store with much better service and totally reasonable prices. As soon as we got home my kid was ripping it up...the complete board was solid and my son was smiling ear to ear and so were his friends. They were all digging it also. Give them a shot and you wont be disappointed! Cades is legit!

Southside, the south, southside Southside, the south,…read moresouthside Southside, the south, southside Southside, the south, southside - Love that song it brings out the hood in me. Southside Skatepark, in South Houston, has been there for ever and I didn't know it. I was not a skater, I was doing group sports learning to play nice, learning to be a team player, and learning to lose gracefully. A load of crap. Individual sports is where it's at. Teach them individualism, to work hard for what they want. My daughter is a lady and she is learning to skate like a boss. She falls and she gets back up to try, try, and try again. Don't worry she also is learning all the other stuff on hear roller derby team. We enjoy many skate parks, but because of the proximity of this one to our home it's a winner. Indoors too, rain or shine she can skate. Plus they have a shop to buy our skating needs. She just got her first real board and they fixed it up for her. It is an expensive sport. She's costing me way more on a monthly basis then her brothers cost several years of playing sports on city teams. She is usually the only girl here, I thought that would make her uncomfortable but most of the guys give her tips. Love her new skate friends!
