Not all skaters will have the same skill, training, equipment and wheel size. When '''participating in an event, make sure''' it fits your skill level, equipment, description and or it's requirements in order for you to be able to keep the pace with the group. If it does not, wait for a future event that fits you better as it is up to the skater to raise up to the requirements and not the requirements to be lowered to match the skater. Showing up for an event that you are not skilled enough or over skilled to be in, becomes disappointing for all parties involved, fragments the event and community as oppose to unit it.
