Vanilla Skates and Bones Bearings Join the Sk8 the State Team

We're all on pins and needles waiting for our shipment of Vanilla Skates and Bones REDS bearings! You may remember, last year Vanilla sponsored the three skaters with brand new Brass Knuckles. Mo Payne, PBR and Dubbs not only sported those skates on the trek across South Dakota, but are still rocking them for roller derby. This year, most of us are going with the Vanilla Curves, which still have the custom b/d fit (narrow in the heel, wider in the toe) and some more cush and padding. These skates should make for a nice, comfy glide across Nebraska this year.

And what is going to keep our wheels rolling through the road dust and grit? Why, Bones REDS bearings, of course! Bones has offered to send each skater two sets of bearings to carry us across the state. I use REDS for derby and LOVE them! They roll just as smoothly as some ceramics I've tried and can withstand a ton of rough use (even if you aren't exactly diligent about cleaning and lubing your bearings regularly).

We couldn't be more thrilled to be working with these great sponsors! Our goal is to be able to give every cent donated directly to the National MS Society, which means that we need our gear, food and lodging and other such necessaries to be donated. Thanks to Vanilla and Bones, we're much closer to our goal! If you would like more info on becoming a sponsor or donating to the cause, you can comment here, look us up on facebook or email sk8thestate@hotmail.com.

Hugs and Kisses,
