Skating styles

Locations include

We do not skate circles to the beat of a drum. We do mostly distance inline skating
We roll anywhere as long as the wheels allow it. Skate parks, hockey rinks, streets, pump tracks, sports tracks trails, etc. 5, 25, 50 or 100 km rides, we roll 1 to 3 times a week, winter included because the wheel is mightier than the friction.

Events

We do several types of events and have 8 annual events. For the safety and enjoyment of everyone, no guests are allowed and only registered skaters will receive email event notifications according to their profile, equipment and shown skills.

Mightier than friction

The wheel is mightier than the friction

Even if dark times descend upon us we shall go on the roll. We shall roll in parks, we shall roll on the roads and trails, we shall roll with growing confidence and growing strength, we shall roll in our island, whatever the track may be.

We shall roll on the asphalt, we shall roll on concrete grounds, we shall roll in the fields and the streets; we shall bomb in the hills;

we shall never fall, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this city or a large part of it was flooded or full of gravel, then we will roll beyond the GTA, loaded and ready with wheels, would carry on the stride until, in good time, new pavement, with all its power and might, steps forth for the stride and the liberation of the sprint.
