Your Guide to Roller Skating and Blading in Nashville

Nashville is a great town for roller skaters and rollerbladers of all skill levels, abilities, and interests. Host Grace Fuisz sits down with Asphalt Beach Skate Shop owner Steve Larios — and his rambunctious shop kittens — to get his tips for where to learn to skate, how to get involved in roller derby or roller hockey, which roller rinks you gotta check out, and how Asphalt Beach got its name. Thanks to Tecovas, our Western wear faves, for being our exclusive launch sponsor! Sign up to play with Nashville Roller Derby. Check out Asphalt Beach for all of your skate needs, from gear and helmets to skate maintenance. Join Skate Nashville for rollouts around town and skating workshops. Skate outside around Cornelia Fort Airpark or around other sections of the Shelby Bottoms greenway. Check out the rinks at Rivergate Skate Center, Brentwood Skate Center, Skate Center West in Murfreesboro, Strike & Spare Family Fun Center in Hendersonville, or Skate Center Smyrna. Sign your kids up for youth roller hockey in Bellevue or Hendersonville. For adult roller hockey enthusiasts, check out Nashville Roller Hockey on Facebook for information on pick up games or Hendersonville Inline Hockey Association.
