Toronto Bladers is an inline skating group for intermediate & advanced skaters dedicated to getting out, inline skate, and have fun. We roll anywhere as long as the wheels allow it. From fixed skate park locations, 5 km to 50 km rides, we roll 1 to 3 times a week, winter included because the wheel is mightier than the friction.

Season opens mid March and goes until the last day of November, but some, inline skate all year round, winter included.

Members will move rank/group as per skills shown during events and safety in consideration.

Follow us out on youtube, twitter, facebook and instagram. We skate in Toronto Ontario, GTA and beyond.
