Happy Birthday to you!

October 14, 2016 by taylor Leave a Comment

With cake, presents, and friends, we know that birthday parties are joyful experiences in which memories are being made. However, we know that sometimes while birthdays bring joy for young ones, added stress may be felt on the family budget when planning a birthday party. happy birthday

Budgeting for birthday parties can be difficult. Determining an appropriate birthday party budget has been a hot topic on parenting blogs. At Rainbow Skateland, we understand that this is a real stress, and we are proud to offer birthday party packages for all budgets.

If you’ve ever held a birthday party at home, then you know how much work and effort goes into the process before and after the party. You won’t have to worry about cleaning, grocery shopping, or putting together goody bags when you have a party at Rainbow Skateland!

Plus, if you are you going to have a group of rowdy kids joining you for your birthday party, roller skating is the perfect outlet for all of that energy. As an added bonus, visitors that come in never having roller skated before leave with a new experience under their belts!

Get Rolling! October is National Roller Skating Month

September 27, 2016 by taylor Leave a Comment

October is full of pumpkins, bonfires and apple picking, AND it’s National Roller Skating Month! At Rainbow Skateland, we have every reason to celebrate, and so should you! nationalroller-skatingmonth

 

The earliest recorded use of roller skates documents back to 1743. However, President Reagan didn’t declare National Roller Skating Month until 1983. Not only is skating great exercise, but it’s perfect all year round for family fun. In a world full of technology like tablets, smart phones and television, we forget that roller skating was the original social network; put the gadgets down, grab your friends and roller skate!

Here’s a couple of ways you can celebrate National Roller Skating Month:

  • Take a break from the stress of school/work and enjoy an hour or two of skating. Consider bringing in one of your friends who haven’t skated before, and teach them!
  • Bring the Group to Rainbow Skateland for some good, clean fun. It won’t be long until they are reminiscing about the old days.

Celebrate roller skating every month by coming to Rainbow Skateland! It’s clean, safe and fun for the whole family. Check out our open skating hours or give us a call at 716-507-4381.

New to Skating? Learn How to Turn!

July 22, 2016 by taylor Leave a Comment

Congratulations, by now you probably have mastered the art of skating forwards! Learning to skate is a big deal. It is fun, keeps you youthful, and poses health benefits to keep you fit and healthy. However, there’s more to skating than just going in a straight line! You must also be able to turn. Well no worries, in this post you are going to learn the basic steps to turning on roller skates. inline-skate-1324585_1920

Turning a corner is all about how you hold your footing. Below are some simple steps to break down how to smoothly turn a corner on roller skates. However, if you need a more visual break down you can find a video at the bottom to help you out.

1. Leaning

The first and most important part of learning to turn is leaning into your turn. This means if you want to turn right, you are going to lean to the right, making your nose, right knee, and right toes all in line with each other. Once you have that, it is on it step 2!

2. Pushing

Your not literally going to be pushed, but you will be pushing. This step is done with the opposite foot, the one you are not leaning on. You are simply going to push this skate out and away from you so that it makes you start to turn.

Switching directions is as simple as bringing both skates back together and transferring your weight from one foot to the other directions you want to turn. This may sound a little confusing, but once you try it, you will catch on quickly. Remember to keep trying and don’t give up. Watch this video for a visual demonstration.

We want you to be confident when skating at Rainbow Skateland. If you are not sure how to skate a specific way — just let us know! One of our staff members will work with you to make sure you are safe and confident on the skate floor.

Skate the Stress Away!

June 17, 2016 by taylor Leave a Comment

Do you know how to manage the stress in everyday life? We are more than half way through 2016 and we want to help make the rest of 2016 a great, stress-free year! music-69932_1280

Ideas for Managing Stress

One of the best ways to manage stress is to adapt a healthy lifestyle. This includes little things such as eating healthier, getting more sleep, and exercising regularly. Not everyone likes to exercise, so at Rainbow Skateland, we want to suggest something that might be a little different than your average exercise. Roller skating is a fun alternative to traditional exercises. Depending on weight and intensity, you can burn over 300 calories in an hour when roller skating! Rollerblading outdoors can also be a stress reliever as it allows you to relax and not stress about things at school, work, or home (rollerblades are typically the best skates to use when skating outdoors).

Another way to manage stress is to listen to MUSIC! Guess what?! We offer four music formats for your skating pleasure, all family friendly of course. They range from Kidz Jams to Pop to Rock to R&B to Gospel to some Old School hits. The schedule is listed on our website so you’ll know when you can plan to skate to your favorite jams!

Don’t wait — Decrease Your Stress Now!

We are Rainbow Skateland, want to help you manage your stress. So come in and enjoy a stress-free environment and even burn some calories with us! What’s your favorite song to skate to?

Win at Arcade Games with these Tips

June 3, 2016 by taylor Leave a Comment

Do you play arcade games often, feeding more and more quarters into the machine, wishing you could get those tickets to earn bigger and bigger prizes? There are some tricks that will help you get to the prize before you spend a month’s rent on those machines. arcade-games

Use these tricks to help you win at arcade games:

1) Jumpin Jackpot: Most arcades have this game. The best way to control the machine is by using your hand to do the jumping, rather than actually jumping. Of course, you have to be on the lookout for staff members!

2) Get More Tickets: For older arcade games, there is a way to get more tickets. Try pulling the tickets out slowly, rather than quickly; if you do it that way, you can gain a few more tickets!

With newer games, start the same way. Pull the tickets out slowly until you feel a click. At this point, the roll will let go and you can pull out as many tickets as you like!

3) Look for Stacker Games: When you play a stacker game, and you win a minor prize, press the ‘select/stop’ button and the ‘continue’ button at the same time. Keep holding the ‘continue’ button until the row empties.

4) Beat the Claw: First, look at the prize pit. If the prizes are not packed in there too tightly, go for it. If the prizes are tightly packed the machine has just been stocked and it will be tough to win. Watch the player in front of you. If the claw looks like it is too loose it won’t grab anything, move on. Finally, pick your target carefully. The perfect prize will be sticking out, unobstructed by other prizes, not too close to the side, but close to the chute!!

Grandparents Roller Skate Too!

May 20, 2016 by taylor Leave a Comment

Roller skating is an activity that has been around for generations and it’s an activity that people of all ages can partake in and enjoy. Grandparents who remember lacing up to roller skate during their youth and cruising around rinks and streets can relive those fun times and regain their energy while skating with children and grandchildren. Benefits of roller skating are both emotional and physical as you share quality time with your family while participating in a fun form of low-impact exercise. entire family

Working out without even knowing it

As you sail across the floor with your children and grandchildren at roller skate rinks, you’re getting an amazing workout. Happily, roller skating is so much fun, that you won’t even realize it’s exercise. Amid loops, turns, spins, and backward skating, you’re burning calories, improving cardiovascular health and strengthening the bond with your family. In a society where everyone seems glued to his or her smart phone and tablet screens, participating in this family-friendly physical activity has the ability to snap everyone out of their technology addiction.

Health benefits of roller skating

Along with strengthening family bonds and escaping technology comas, lacing up to roller skate has additional health benefits including:

Low-impact – Unlike other forms of exercise such as running that strain and damage knees and joints, roller skating is low-impact and joint-friendly. The fluid movements as you roller skate mimic those of dancing or running, but are thankfully free of impacts that can damage joints.
Whole-body workout – The strength and balance required for roller skating works your arms, legs, core, and cardiovascular system. Your legs and glute muscles receive the most benefits from skating, as does your core as you push through movements and maintain balance. Strong legs, improved coordination, and balance are beneficial for all ages.
Burn calories – Enjoy roller skating with your children and grandchildren and burn as many calories as other aerobic workouts. What makes skating better than traditional aerobic exercises is that you’re doing it with family while listening to great, upbeat music, making memories, and having fun.

Exercise for all skill levels

Even novices who roller skate slowly around the rink are receiving health benefits. The mere act of standing up on four wheels takes strength, balance, and coordination. Grandparents can teach younger children and vice versa and soon everyone is lost in the fun of the activity while enjoying quality time with family.
