Once a year Camberley Skaters organise a Roller Marathon to raise money for charity. The event takes place at the Goodwood Motor Circuit and is open to all skaters, skateboarders and other non powered, small wheeled users. No bikes I’m afraid!
The video below shows you just how much fun Goodwood Roller Marathon is.
The video was filmed in August 2008.
There are four race lengths to enter ranging from 2,5,11 and 22 laps. The two lap race is roughly 4.84 miles long (7.74 Kilometers) while the 22 lap race is a staggering 53.24 miles long (85.68 Kilometers). Most intermediate to advanced skaters enter the 11 lap race, which is 26.62 miles long (42.84 Kilometers). First timers might want to stick with 2 laps
I found this video on Youtube, I’m not sure what the video and text are trying to promote, but the “roller skating” song had me in stitches. Does anyone know where I can download the original soundtrack for this video? I can’t get this tune out of my head now!!
Played in nearly 60 countries worldwide, street hockey is a type of hockey commonly associated with local parks, wide empty streets and inline skaters. There are effectively two types of street hockey (roller hockey). Inline Roller Hockey and Quad Roller Hockey.
Inline Roller Hockey resembles Ice Hockey in many ways, with lots of racing back and forth at high speeds. Quad Roller Hockey allows for fancier footwork and better maneuverability . Did you know that Roller Hockey was first played on Quads? It’s true, long before Inlines came onto the scene. Also, each type of roller hockey traditionally has its own set of rules.
