Maybe it's a Brisbane thing but my sister has just started doing some Derby thing. She's been complaining that 2nd hand skates on ebay sell for over $100 and her and a group of friends need skates to do these derby nights. I really don't know that much about the events but maybe there is a market to rent to them.Haha, I wish! The derby skaters are a new breed. They all have their own skates, even though half of them can't skate (but they think they're speed demons, LOL!). If there is demand for Derby in an area, they are already doing that, but don't open for the general public.
Yes, the premiums were large, but there were other things in play too. Now, like I said previously, do you have anything constructive to add?
House Red & a bowl of pasta with roast veges for $12
gotta love it
Nah, Macca. There is no damage to the floors. We skate on wooden floors all the time. They are designed for it. Safety gear is a given. I've got bucket loads as well as all the different sizes. Teenagers, well, we deal with them all the time too. They can't get up to too much mischief, remember they will have their teachers present too because it would be at school.I know you are trying to start something ongoing but it doesn't sound very practical or profitable to me.
The cost of insurance, the damage to the floors of the school halls, the safety gear required, the physical number of skates required to be on hand to suit different size feet, teenagers full of hormones looking to impress someone .............
Maybe you could sell them on Ebay to get a return.
Sorry but I am Mr Practical and it all seems too much hassle for not much return
No, it's not just a Brisbane thing. The latest thing is for women in their late 20's to 30's, sometimes older, to decide one day that they would like to do Roller Derby after never skating before in their lives. So, you have all these women who can't skate dressing up in strange outfits and calling themselves by weird names. They all go out and buy Derby skates which are often over $200pr only to find that half of them don't like it, or are too terrified to continue.Maybe it's a Brisbane thing but my sister has just started doing some Derby thing.

Maybe the opportunity would be in offering to teach Roller Derby participants how to skate better... or alternatively, offer a training club for potential Roller Derby participants, and being mobile you can move it to different areas.
tiggy = chasey. kids running around with one kid being "up" or "it". if they touch or "tag" another kid then that kid becomes the chaser. as in "tag, you're it"
Ah, OK, Tag.
I'm not really surprised that schools would stop kids playing tag. They tend to run all over the place without looking and hurt themselves & others.
