Newly Old School

Taking the raw soul of 90s skate culture and wrapping it in 2026 freshness. Bristol-born. Community-built.

The UK skating community deserves its own voice

For too long, UK roller skating culture has lived in the background — in rinks, in rec centres, in WhatsApp groups and Facebook pages. It's rich, it's real, and it's growing fast. But nobody was telling its story.

Get Your Skates On exists to fix that. We cover skate culture, community stories, and the full sweep of the UK skating scene — from legendary rinks to grassroots meetups, from skating families to competitive derby athletes.

No gatekeeping. No clichés. Just honest conversations with the people who make this scene worth talking about.


Newly Old School

We didn't invent this. The 90s already cracked the code — community rinks, mixtape energy, families rolling together on a Saturday night. That magic was real.

Our job is to take that raw soul and bring it forward. The same values — community, family, music, pure fun — wrapped in 2026 freshness. Old school in spirit. New school in how we share it.

🎶
The Music
Rink-worthy bangers, old school R&B, and the DJ culture that made Saturday nights legendary.
🏠
The Community
Real people, real stories, real rinks. The faces behind the skates across the whole of the UK.

The Family
Skating is better with your people. Always has been. Always will be.

Born in Bristol

Bauer Bants started in Bristol — and there's nowhere better to be born. Bristol has one of the UK's most vibrant skating scenes, home to events like BUMP and iconic local venues like Alice in Rollerland. It's a city that's always rolled to its own rhythm.

That Bristol energy — creative, independent, community-first — runs through everything we make. But Get Your Skates On isn't just a Bristol podcast. It's a home for every skater across the UK.
