That should look great in the evenings.
Looks great! Now, I’m sure I’m not the only one that geeks out on the hardware too…with that said, give us some stats! How many LEDs, what kind battery, etc. ya know? 
Adafruit Pro Trinket - 5V 16MHz
Adafruit Pro Trinket LiIon/LiPoly Backpack Add-On
Lithium Ion Polymer Battery - 3.7v 2500mAh
Adafruit DotStar Digital LED Strip - Black 60 LED - Per Meter
(This worked out for a total of 40 LED’s per skate)
SUPERNIGHT ™ 24 Key Button Wireless RGB LED Light Controller Ir Remote 12v
(I had these remotes from a previous project so I just striped out the IR receiver for this project)
I have just ordered this controller SUPERNIGHT ™ IR Remote Controller 44 Keys for RGB LED Light Strip
to have more buttons so I can do solid colors as well as patterns.
