Get your gear on
Skates, pads, helmets, mouthguards, wheels, bearings, plates, toeguards, toestops, laces – not to mention tops, shorts, tanks, skirts, skorts, bandannas, socks and tights – it’s a whole new world of shopping !
If you are buying gear it pays to shop around for the best deal and remember when buying from overseas NZ Customs may charge additional landing costs – see here for more details.
There’s some sound advice on gear here on the WFTDA (Women’s Flat Track Derby Association) website and The Fresh Meat File courtesy of rollergirl.ca has some great tips too.
And if you still don’t know your R3’s from your Rebels and you want some advice we’re happy to help – just drop us an email rollergirls@clearnet.nz, leave a comment below or better still just come up and ask us at training nights.
