Inline skate groups around the world

Canada

Toronto

• Not much happens. We're lucky to get 5 skaters to 10 skaters on friday nights.
• Uptightness: Dont want to skate in a group because of individualism. "want to do my own thing"
• Lack of skill: Only skate randomly 3 to 4 months a year (spring/summer). Cant keep up with the group.
• Equipment: a minority of proficient skaters has the best equipment. The rest has off the shelf non high end equipment
• Skill: Too much effort. Skaters prefer short distances and pretty landscapes
• Groups: There is the Toronto bladers and the Toronto blading group for aggressive skating
• Then there is the hockey skaters. Rinks and hockey only
• Ice skating and that is all about it. Skate circles for ever. Not much effort needed.
