5th Blocker Skates is proudly owned and operated by Shona Marshall, a retired roller derby skater from Glasgow Roller Derby. Skating under the name Marshall Lawless, Shona was part of the derby world from 2010 to 2018, playing with the Irn Bruisers and representing Scotland at the first two Roller Derby World Cups in Toronto and Dallas. She was also a key member of the team that competed at the WFTDA Playoffs in Jacksonville in 2015.
5th Blocker Skates opened on November 19th, 2011, becoming one of the first dedicated roller derby shops in the UK. Since then, we've grown every year—expanding our range, refining our fitting advice, and staying committed to skaters of all levels. Today, we remain true to our roller derby roots while expanding into ramp, park, artistic, and leisure skating—all still in the quad format we love. Whether you're a seasoned skater or just starting out, we’re here to help you get the right gear, the right fit, and the confidence to roll.
