I feel so, so grateful to have a skate shop so close by. Years ago, when I played roller derby, buying online or at local skate rinks with limited supplies were essentially the only options. Wicked opened right around the time I stopped.
Now that I skate recreationally, I can pop in here and grab whatever I need that day, whether it's new bearings or wheels. It's a small shop but they're always so friendly and helpful, installing things for you as well if you bring your skates along.
