Also known as Group Skating or Street Skating, Mass-Participation Skating is probably one of the most exhilarating social skating events in the world. Anywhere from a few friends to hundreds or even thousands of skaters meet up every week and skate together through the City streets.  Are you ready?

Between April and September there is The London Skate aka WNS (londonskate.com) and every Friday we have the London Friday Night Skate (lfns.co.uk), both of these skating events are for intermediate to advanced skaters. For the younger skaters and those of you who want a much slower easier skate there is the Easy Peasy skate on Saturdays (easypeasyskate.com) and finally there’s the Rollerstroll on Sundays (lfns.co.uk).

Or maybe you’d prefer skating in another City altogether. In which case I’d highly recommend the Pari-Roller in Paris (pari-roller.com), the Monday Night Skate in Geneva and Basel (mondaynightskate.ch) and the Friday Night Skate in Amsterdam (fridaynightskate.com).

If you need to hire equipment then for London try Slick Willies (slickwillies.co.uk), for Paris try Nomades (nomadeshop.com) and for Amsterdam try the Vondeltruin.

Skate Sensibly.  Keep Alert. Have Fun.
