The Combinations Are Limitless!
Derby Hello Derby Family and Friends, I’d like to start this introduction to our new product lineup by sincerely thanking all of you for everything you do for the sport of roller derby. The long hours you’ve spent practicing, organizing bouts, tournaments, and training camps, and supporting your local communities speaks volumes about the dedication you have to yourselves and to each other. It’s very easy to see why roller derby continues to grow and touch many new people every day. At Riedell, we’ve been fortunate enough to travel to many of your events all over the world where we have gotten to know some of you – but not nearly as many as we’d like to! We value those experiences and we hope that we have been helpful to you during our time together. I’m very excited to introduce to you several important advancements to our product line this year. First and foremost is the all-new urethane Shark hub by Radar Wheels (featured on the all-new Radar Bullet wheel – p.13) that’s designed with exclusive convex “fins” that produce superior roll and balanced support to the urethane tire. Several months of development went into making sure the Shark hub is the finest, ultralight synthetic hub available today. We’re thrilled with the performance it offers. Second, is the all-new Rival plate (p.11) from PowerDyne that will be available in the fall of 2012. The Rival is made from extruded aluminum in a lightweight and proven design based off the PowerDyne Reactor plate at a fantastic price. For strength, value, and performance, the Rival has no equal. I’m also pleased to mention that the fit and performance of our handmade boots continues to become more accessible as our Models 965, 495, 265, 126, and 122 are all stocked and ready to ship in both our Gamma (D/B) and Delta (B/AA) widths. We will continue to stay hard at work making sure that our products are as user-friendly and readily available as possible. Finally, I encourage you to stay current with Riedell and our family of brands – PowerDyne plates, Radar wheels, and KwiK bearings – by visiting our website, finding Riedell (Facebook.com/RiedellRoller) and Radar wheels (Facebook.com/RadarWheels) on Facebook, and by viewing the information and products on the following pages.

We have multiple lasts that differ in multiple areas including heel width, toe box height, and ball width. Open vs. Closed lacing – open lacing offers more lacing flexibility – especially handy during boot break-in. Closed lacing offers more toe protection and durability. Long counter – forms the heel pocket of the boot. Ours are made from a strong, fibrous material for support and a secure fit. The longer edge of the counter runs along the inside of the boot. Low toe box height – a fit that is snugger and tends to make boots feel shorter. This fit is best for those who have pointy toes. Boots built on our “Alpha” 248D last are good examples (see p.8). Short counter – same as a long counter but stops shorter along the inside of the boot. This allows for heat moldable material to be added in its place. High toe box height – a fit that is roomier and tends to make boots feel longer. This fit is best for those who have squared off toes. Boots built on our “Gamma” D/B last are good examples (see p.8). Reinforced hard toe on Model 965 and Model 1065 boots adds additional height. Boot linings Tongue linings Chinook – full grain leather that has been specially treated to resist the salts and acids in sweat. Chinook leather breaks in to become soft and supple and holds its shape very well over time. Our most premium lining. Shearling – 1/2" genuine Shearling backed with sponge padding to reduce lace bite. Gray impregnated leather – split leather impregnated with color and material to provide the feel of full grain leather. This lining breaks in to become soft and holds its shape very well over time. Fleece – 1/2" animal-friendly alternative to Shearling that is also backed with a thin layer of sponge padding. Beige suede microfiber – lightweight material treated for odor resistance and backed with foam for extra comfort. This lining is very comfortable when new and stretches slightly to accommodate wider feet. Featured in our Model 965. 3/16" sponge – sponge rubber padding designed to reduce lace bite and add cushion. Dri-Lex™ - hollow fiber lining that wicks moisture away from your feet. Backed with a thin layer of urethane foam for additional padding. Dri-Lex™ is very comfortable when new and stretches slightly to accommodate wider feet. 1/8" sponge – our thinnest tongue lining for those looking for a snug, minimalist feel to their boots. Cambrelle® - non-woven nylon lining provides extreme strength and durability. Similar to Dri-Lex™, it is backed with a thin layer of foam. Cambrelle® holds its shape very well over time. 3 Lacing patterns & toe fit With over 65 years of boot-making experience and knowledge behind every pair of Riedell boots, our products are the finest in the industry and the choice of top athletes everywhere who demand the highest levels of performance. All of our materials are hand-sorted for the absolute finest quality and we are always refining, challenging, and improving our production process to bring you the best products available. The information found on pages 3 and 4 details how our boots are formed, the superior materials we use, and the innovative features found in our boots. Foot enclosure systems Collars Heel Lock System (HLS) – durable nylon webbing band system with 360 degree leverage designed to wrap the entire boot around your heel. Padded – the unique padded collar of our Model 965 is cushioned for maximum comfort and curved to gently brace your Achilles tendon. Ankle Closure System (ACS) – a combination of our HLS and snug tie, the durable nylon webbing ACS secures the boot closer to your ankle than your heel. Excellent security around the Achilles tendon. Rolled – rolled collars provide a soft edge for more comfort without the extra material of padded collars for a sleeker fit. Velcro cinch strap – ankle strap positioned in a unique location that secures your heel but allows your ankle to flex. Padded-Rolled – padded-rolled collars snug up the ankle of the boot through the use of additional cushioning. Snug tie – durable nylon webbing material that snugs the boot around your ankle. Straight – traditional straight collars offer a minimalist design for the greatest range of motion. Extras Riedell HF-5 heat molding Power Toe – featured on our Model 1065, the Power Toe angles your toes slightly upward for better leverage when pushing off. Set back eyelet – featured on our Model 965, the set back eyelet helps to secure your heel by pulling more of the boot towards your foot when lacing. U-shaped tongue – more natural design meant to meet the curve of your foot and stay out of your way. 1. Preheat boot oven or convection oven to 180 degrees. 2. Wheels and cushions should be removed from skate packages. Plates can remain attached. 3. Heat boots for 2-3 minutes. 4. Remove boots from oven. Plates, metal eyelets and metal lace loops will be hot - use caution around these areas. 5. Place foot in the boot. Lace the boot with firm, snug tension on the laces starting at the throat area over the top of the toes. Maintain the same lacing tension to the top of the boot. 6. Leave the boots on for approximately 10 minutes. This will allow the boots to shape and contour to the skater’s feet. 7. Remove the boots and relax the feet for several minutes. Put the boots back on and lace with normal, comfortable lacing pressure. 8. If discomfort or specific pressure points exist, heat the area of the boot with a heat gun or hair dryer and adjust with a ball and ring stretcher or boot press as needed. 9. Put the boots on again and lace with normal pressure. Step #8 can be repeated as often as necessary to achieve proper comfort. 4 Siren / Boot: 1065 ColorLab Plate: PowerDyne Revenge Aluminum Wheels: Radar Tile Biter 37mm Black Bearings: KwiK Swiss Nitride Toe Stop: PowerDyne Moonwalker Blood Red Sizes: 4-13 Full & Half – B/AA + D/B Performance meets customization in the Siren skate. Our Model 1065 boot features the performance of our integrated Heel Lock System (HLS) and our exclusive Chinook full-grain leather lining – and is now also customizable in your combination of our colored exterior materials from Riedell ColorLab™ at no extra charge. PowerDyne Revenge plates made from extruded aircraft grade aluminum are matched with the 1065 along with lightweight Radar Tile Biter wheels that offer outstanding roll (speed) and grip. New to the Siren are the natural rubber PowerDyne Moonwalker toe stops that have excellent grip, reliable control and agility, and are non-marking on all surfaces so you can use them anywhere. Performance thrives in every part of the Siren. Torch Boot: 495 Black Plate: PowerDyne Revenge Aluminum Wheels: Radar Bullet 93A Neon Purple Bearings: KwiK Swiss Nitride Toe Stop: PowerDyne Moonwalker Electric Yellow Sizes: 3-13 Full & Half – B/AA + D/B The revolutionary Torch skate returns with improvements designed to further push the boundaries of what a skate should do for the demanding derby athlete. The agility and instant response of the Model 495 boot is enhanced through the grip, roll, and edge control provided by the breakthrough technologies of the Shark hub and Derbythane tire compound in the all-new Radar Bullet wheels. PowerDyne Moonwalker toe stops allow you to stop quickly and maneuver in tight spaces while KwiK Swiss Nitride bearings work to get you rolling faster. The quick and lively core of the Torch, PowerDyne Revenge plates (see p.11), keep you secure and transfer your power efficiently at all times. Trust the Torch to exceed your expectations and take your game to the next level. Minx Boot: 965 Black Plate: PowerDyne Rival Aluminum (Available Fall 2012) Wheels: Radar Bullet 93A Neon Purple Bearings: KwiK Zenith (Available Fall 2012) Toe Stop: PowerDyne Moonwalker Mint Sizes: 3-13 Full & Half – B/AA + D/B When battling it out on the track, your skates need to provide power and control. The Riedell Minx has you covered in both areas. Power comes from the strength of the all-new extruded aluminum PowerDyne Rival plate, the fast and smooth roll of the all-new KwiK Zenith bearings, and the firm edge of the Shark hub in the all-new Radar Bullet wheels. For the control necessary to harness that power, the curved heel pocket and heat moldable reinforcements of the Model 965 boot keep your foot locked securely in place, all in the comfort of our supple beige suede microfiber lining. Together, power and control is a potent combination – and that combination is all yours with the Riedell Minx. 5 Prices subject to change without notice. Wicked Boot: 265 Black or White Plate: PowerDyne Rival Aluminum (Available Fall 2012) Wheels: Radar Bullet 93A Neon Purple Bearings: KwiK Zenith (Available Fall 2012) Toe Stop: PD Moonwalker Electric Yellow Sizes: 3-13 Full & Half – B/AA + D/B As the sport of roller derby has evolved, so too must the iconic Wicked skate. Our hand-sorted full grain leather Model 265 boot now comes stocked in two different widths with expanded sizing so more skaters can find a perfect fit – something that is critical to performing your best. The all-new PowerDyne Rival plate attaches to the Model 265 in the Wicked, adding excellent response from the rigid extruded aluminum and high rebound urethane cushions. All of that response and precision doesn’t mean anything if you can’t put it down on the track, which is why we have selected the all-new Radar Bullet, a wheel developed and tested specifically for roller derby by top derby athletes, as the wheel for the Wicked. She Devil Boot: 126 Black Plate: PowerDyne Triton Aluminum Wheels: Radar Flat Outrageous Black Bearings: KwiK Zenith (Available Fall 2012) Toe Stop: PowerDyne Moonwalker Blood Red Sizes: 3-13 Full & Half – B/AA + D/B The She Devil is in a class of its own as an advanced beginner or intermediate derby skate. Our Model 126 boot features the same hand-sorted full grain leather used on our top performance boots but features an innovative split lining combination. The front lining in the toe and ball area of the 126 is Cambrelle® material that holds its shape very well, even after the leather outers have been broken in. For increased comfort, the rear lining in the heel and ankle area of the 126 is our padded Dri-Lex™ lining. The She Devil grips on tons of different surfaces (because who skates on the same surface all the time?) thanks to 88A Radar Flat Outrageous wheels while you’re rolling, and natural rubber PowerDyne Moonwalker toe stops when you’re starting and stopping. Upgrade: Get even more out of the She Devil by upgrading your plate to the PowerDyne Rival, Revenge or Reactor (see p.11 for details). Spark Boot: 122 Black Plate: PowerDyne Thrust Nylon Wheels: R adar Flat Outrageous Green Bearings: KwiK ABEC-5 Toe Stop: PD Round Black Sizes: 3-13 Full & Half – B/AA + D/B There’s no substitute for experience, so when comparing the Spark to other skates, trust the 65+ years of boot-making expertise that goes into every USA made Model 122 boot used in the Spark. Where other boots and skates are imported in mass quantities, every Model 122 is built one at a time using hand-sorted premium materials that must pass our thorough inspection process before being approved for use. To set the 122 apart even further from other skates, it comes stocked in two different widths so that more skaters can experience what a performance fit feels like. Completing the Spark skate are reinforced PowerDyne Thrust nylon plates, KwiK ABEC-5 bearings, and grippy 88A Radar Flat Outrageous wheels that combine for a stable base that will help develop your skills. Prices subject to change without notice. 6 Vixen Boot: 165 Black Plate: PowerDyne Triton Aluminum Wheezls: Radar Flat Out Royal Blue Bearings: KwiK ABEC-5 Toe Stop: PD Round Black Sizes: 4 – 13 Full Only – Medium The Vixen is designed for reliable performance and high levels of comfort in a skate package that is a bit more than a traditional “starter” skate. The 165 boot is made of leather outers for abrasion and stress resistance but also has a soft-padded lining for a comfortable fit. The bottom of the Vixen is built around the rigid response of the aluminum PowerDyne Triton plates that transfer your power efficiently and without any flex. Grippy 88A Radar Flat Out wheels keep you firmly planted on the track and the KwiK ABEC-5 bearings installed inside those wheels roll smoothly, quietly, and quickly. The Vixen is a great skate for those who are just getting started in derby but who also want a skate that will grow with them as they get better. Rogue Boot: 796 Black Plate: PowerDyne Thrust Nylon Wheels: Radar Flat Out Ice Blue Bearings: KwiK ABEC-5 Toe Stop: PD Round Black Sizes: 1-14 Full Only – Medium Of all the parts that make up a skate, the boot is the only one that actually touches your foot. With that in mind, we designed the 796 boot used in the Rogue skate out of all leather outers for durability and a thinly padded lining that offers comfort, but also a fit that is close to the foot for more performance. The base of the Rogue is a reinforced PowerDyne Thrust plate that flexes slightly for a forgiving feel that builds confidence in newer skaters. An outstanding all-around wheel, the Radar Flat Out, sits on the bottom of the Rogue. Its consistent grip works on several surface types and its durability allows you to keep skating without having to worry about wearing out your wheels too soon. R3 / Derby Boot: R3 Black Plate: PowerDyne Thrust Nylon Wheels: Radar Flat Out Red Bearings: KwiK ABEC-5 Toe Stop: Midi Gripper Sizes: 1-14 Full Only – Medium If you’re looking to get started in derby, there is no better option in the entry level class than the R3 Derby. A favorite with skaters since it debuted, the R3 boot features class-leading build quality – including a special grade of vinyl that is more durable than standard vinyl and a detailed boot construction process that was developed from our decades of boot-making experience. Derby is a demanding sport though, so to ready the R3 for derby use, we added black tough scuff leather toe caps to prevent abrasion, reinforced PowerDyne Thrust nylon plates for a firm base, and 88A Radar Flat Out wheels that grip on all kinds of surfaces. Upgrade: Take a look at PowerDyne Magic Cushions for your plates – they’re inexpensive, easy to install, and they provide a very progressive and confidenceinspiring feel to your skates. They’re available in multiple hardnesses to suit your exact needs. 7 Prices subject to change without notice. Boot Fitting Guidelines Finding a pair of boots that fit properly can be very challenging – no two feet are exactly alike and every boot model has a distinct design that can affect how it feels. To add to the confusion, most skate boot manufacturers, including us, have unique sizing that differ from street shoe sizing. For our boots, the proper size for you will depend greatly on which last the boot is built on – which is why we want to share the information below with you. Please note that this information is to be used as a reference only. We strongly recommend trying boots on before you purchase. Alpha Beta Gamma Delta • • • • • • • • Our 395D last.

The Reactor is constructed from extruded aircraft grade aluminum in an ultralightweight design for levels of strength and weight reduction not found anywhere else in its class. Because performance cannot be compromised at all, only the finest parts are used to complete the Reactor – including aluminum trucks with steel rod reinforced pivot arms, solid aluminum black anodized kingpins, and durable Delrin pivot cups. The Reactor is the ultimate combination of lightness, power, and response. • • • • • Heat-treated lightweight extruded aircraft aluminum plate 10 degree kingpin angle Aluminum trucks with chromoly steel axles Steel rod reinforced pivot arms and durable Delrin pivot cups Solid 7075 aluminum black anodized kingpins with integrated auto-centering Nylock adjustment nut • Two sets of PowerDyne urethane Magic Cushions Revenge The Revenge has been totally revamped to offer a combination of value, stability, and performance that cannot be matched. Alloy reinforcements have been added to the extruded plate for increased strength and minimal weight gain while the steel rod reinforced truck has been adjusted to a compact shape for more powerful response when pushing it to the limit. The 15 degree kingpin angle of the Revenge allows for quick turn-in and change of direction but still gives you stability and acceleration when you need it most. Complete with all aluminum components and high rebound urethane cushions, the PowerDyne Revenge is a thoroughly modern plate designed for the advanced skater. Rival new Powerful, durable, and responsive, the all-new Rival from PowerDyne has been engineered from start to finish by skaters who know what a plate needs to perform. The Rival is built from extruded aircraft aluminum with an exclusive solid support beam that offers unmatched durability and rigidity for the Reactor-inspired platform. Every corner and angle of the Rival has been analyzed, stress-tested, and refined to reduce weight, increase strength, and improve feel. The attention to detail doesn’t stop there as the Rival comes with solid 7075 aluminum kingpins and high rebound urethane cushions for the instant response found in plates that are twice the price of the Rival. Lighter and more powerful than any other plate in its class, the Rival has no equal. 11 • • • • • • • Heat-treated lightweight extruded aircraft aluminum plate 15 degree kingpin angle Aluminum trucks with chromoly steel axles Steel rod reinforced pivot arms and durable dual density Delrin pivot cups Solid 7075 aluminum kingpins Right/left plate with off-set toe stop High rebound urethane cushions Available Fall 2012 • • • • • • Heat-treated lightweight extruded aircraft aluminum plate 15 degree kingpin angle Aluminum trucks with chromoly steel axles Steel rod reinforced pivot arms and durable dual density Delrin pivot cups Solid 7075 aluminum kingpins High rebound urethane cushions Prices subject to change without notice.

The signature dimples on the stopping surface offer more bite when stopping and starting. Every Moonwalker is made from a non-marking natural rubber compound for outstanding durability and consistency on every skating surface including wood, sport tiles, cement, and outdoor surfaces (moon surface testing TBA…). Anodized lightweight aluminum stems are used for each Moonwalker, creating a secure bond with the rubber while adding increased strength, easier threading, and a distinctive blue-gray color to the stem. Moonwalker toe stops join the PowerDyne lineup in 3 unique colors – Mint, Electric Yellow, and Blood Red. Magic Cushions Unique to PowerDyne Magic Cushions is the Power Assist™ formula for total performance. Made from high quality urethane, Magic Cushions retain energy and release it when you need it most. Just like shocks on a car, Magic Cushions soak up the imperfections of the surface, keep you connected to the road ahead through enhanced feedback, load up when pressed to the limit, and then release your stored power in a forceful yet predictable manner. Available in 4 hardnesses, they are the most responsive cushions available for your skating skills.

Skate TLC Investing in a pair of high performance roller skates is a big decision! Your skates will be on your feet for several hours per week while you’re competing, exercising, or just casually going for a roll. Every pair of Riedell skates is assembled with top quality materials that are not only made to keep your skates comfortable and performing their best, they’re also made to last. Proper care and maintenance of your skates can significantly expand their lifespan. The information below are some tips and tender loving care suggestions that we recommend to get the most out of your skates for the longest amount of time. Boots Plates Bearings Wheels • For our leather skating boots, we recommend applying a high quality leather conditioner (we use a brand called Lexol®) to the boots during break-in to soften the leather and on occasion throughout the life of the boot to keep them soft and supple. • It’s also very important that leather boots are allowed to dry completely after each time you skate. When you are done skating, store your skates in a well ventilated area. Do not leave them in your bag or the trunk of your car. • Truck assemblies (truck, cushions, cushion cups, and adjustment nut) should be checked to make sure they are tightened securely. The cushions need to flex to provide the action of the plate but you don’t want any metal parts rattling around. • Kingpins should also be checked to make sure they are completely tight in the plate. Vibration and stress from skating places pressure on the kingpin, which can, in rare cases, cause them to loosen. • Pivot cups are wear items and should be inspected occasionally to make sure the pivot arm of the truck sits securely in the pivot cup. • Cushions also need to be replaced from time to time. You will be able to notice a difference in their response when they have worn out. • Light race oil or bearing lubricant is what keeps bearings spinning freely. As bearings spin, that lubricant breaks down and needs to be replenished. Loud (they will sound kind of crunchy) or slow bearings are a sign that your bearings need a shot of lubricant or oil. We recommend applying a light layer of KwiK lube to the retainer and balls of the bearing. KwiK Swiss Nitride and KwiK Zenith bearings offer open access to the retainer and bearing balls, making oiling your bearings a much more simple process. • To keep the running surfaces clean of debris, we recommend wiping your wheels with a rag using water or water mixed with a small amount of a mild soap (soap you use for hand-washing dishes is good). If submerging your wheels in water or a water/soap mix, remove your bearings. Harsh chemicals such as Acetone are not recommended for cleaning wheels. They can be damaging to the urethane. Dry your wheels off by wiping them with a soft rag or towel. 18 www.facebook.com/riedellroller www.riedellskates.com Photography of Kamikaze Kitten by: Jason Ruffell
