Skating with a group is a great way to learn skating. You'll be able to skate much better than you ever could alone.

Required skills:
  • Able to skate for a few miles at a moderate speed. Skating lessons are available.
  • Able to stop, If you come to the Monday Night Skate before 7:00 p.m., you can usually get a free stopping lesson.

Suggested equipment:

  • Wrist guards. The most frequent injury skaters receive is a broken or sprained wrist.
  • Helmet. If you fall on your head, this could save you from becoming a vegetable.
  • Knee pads. Can prevent a lot of pain and skin rash.
  • Elbow pads. Falling properly to avoid injury requires elbow pads. Falling on a bare elbow can be very painful.
  • When skating is done in the dark: Battery powered lights. Flashing red lights increase visibility. A flashlight or other white light can help you see where your are skating.

Also nice:

  • A bottle or canteen of water.
