ABOUT Sin City Skates:
Sin City Skates was formed on November 15th, 2005, when Denise "Ivanna S. Pankin" Grimes got fired from her really awful, soul-sucking day job for spending too much time obsessing about roller derby and not enough time pretending to be busy with her boring, cubicle-monkey work.

Ivanna, a skater in the Sin City Rollergirls and a proud member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), had already been working on getting better deals for the skaters in her league and the other leagues in the WFTDA. When her mumbling, unethical boss announced his intention to cut her loose on the day he would have had to offer her benefits, it was just the kick in the fishnets Ivanna needed to finally take the leap and form Sin City Skates.

Sin City Skates is 100% run by roller derby skaters and geared toward supplying the needs of roller derby skaters and their friends. We pledge to offer the best skates and gear for our sport at the best prices that can be found anywhere.

Sin City Skates also plans to offer a one-stop shop for roller derby fans, too. We're working with our sister leagues to provide one store where anyone can purchase souvenirs from leagues across the country, and hopefully one day on the other side of the border, too.

This store is different than most skate suppliers, who hardly understand roller derby - or worse, see it as a fad to be exploited while they cater to their figure skating and jam patrons. We *are* roller derby skaters and we're dedicated to this sport. That's why you'll see as much information as possible about all the gear on our website. We know there's more important things than what color the stuff is! And we'll be adding more info every day.

Keep it in the family and tell your sisters about Sin City Skates!
