Magical Skating is a passion project, but it does take real time and money to keep this site running, host the content, and keep churning out the gear reviews and guides you come here for. To help cover those costs, some of the links on this site are affiliate links.
That means if you click a link and make a qualifying purchase, such as a deck, a pair of shoes, bearings, or any other gear featured in a post, we may earn a small commission on that sale. This comes at absolutely no extra cost to you. The price you pay stays the same whether you use our link or go straight to the retailer.
You’ll most often see this on gear roundups, product reviews, and “what’s in my bag” style posts. We currently participate in the Amazon Associates Program and may add other skate-brand or retailer affiliate partnerships over time.
Here’s what doesn’t change because of this: our opinions. We only recommend gear we’d actually skate with ourselves, and a brand paying us a commission doesn’t buy a good review. If something’s not worth your money, we’ll say so, affiliate link or not.
In line with FTC guidelines, we want to be upfront that this relationship exists so you can make informed decisions about the links you click. If you ever have questions about a specific recommendation or this disclosure, feel free to reach out through our contact page.
Thanks for supporting the site and helping us keep the content rolling.
