Welcome to the Open Skate Lab: A Fresh Take on Your Saturday Morning Skating Experience

We’re excited to introduce a fresh and exciting update to our Saturday morning sessions—what you’ve known as “Open Practice” is now officially the Open Skate Lab. This isn’t just a name change; it’s a transformation designed to elevate your experience in the Skate Lounge and bring a whole new level of fun, creativity, and nostalgia to your weekend routine.

Why the Change?

At Roller Skate Detroit, we’re always looking for ways to enhance what we offer, and the idea behind the Open Skate Lab came from you—our community. We wanted to create a space that’s more than just a practice session. We wanted it to be a place where you can experiment, grow, and rediscover the joy of skating in an environment that feels fresh, fun, and familiar all at once.

So, why “Lab”? Because a lab is where creativity happens, where ideas are born, and where you can try something new without fear. The Open Skate Lab is your playground for innovation on wheels. Whether you’re fine-tuning your backward skate, working on those smooth transitions, or just having a blast experimenting with new moves, the Lab is where it all comes together.

We’re also adding a special touch to the experience by playing classic Saturday morning cartoons on the big screen as you skate. Remember those cozy mornings, a bowl of cereal in hand, eyes glued to the TV as your favorite characters came to life? We’ve captured that feeling and brought it to the Skate Lounge. Now, you can relive those moments while gliding around, connecting with the childlike joy that skating brings.

The Open Skate Lab is designed for everyone, whether you’re just starting or you’ve been skating for years. Here, you can try out new techniques, ask for tips from more experienced skaters, or simply enjoy the freedom to explore your own style at your own pace. There’s no judgment, just encouragement and shared enthusiasm for the art of skating.

The Open Skate Lab isn’t just about skating; it’s about community. It’s a place where you can connect with others who share your passion, swap stories about your favorite cartoons, or simply enjoy the shared experience of rolling around the Skate Lounge together. It’s a social experience that brings people together, creating bonds that last beyond the session.

What’s in It for You?

The Open Skate Lab isn’t just another session on the schedule—it’s an opportunity. An opportunity to challenge yourself, to rediscover what makes skating special, and to connect with a community that values fun, creativity, and a bit of nostalgia.

Whether you’re here to practice, to play, or just to soak in the good vibes, the Open Skate Lab is designed to make your Saturday mornings something to look forward to. It’s more than just skating—it’s a celebration of everything that makes skating, and life, fun.
