What’s that? You’ve thought exactly that?

Of course you have! So, whatcha gonna do about it? Are you going to contemplate the fun to be had on skates from the perspective of your warm, comfy chair, or are you going to cowgirl-up, put on your big girl panties, and strap on eight terrifying wheels of death, and learn to skate? You know you wanna!

This Saturday, grab the bull by the horns, get your gear, come on down to Thunderbird Community Centre, and learn to skate. Know how to skate? Then come play with us! Crazy expert ninja skater? Hell, come on down and show us some tricks. In short, see you Saturday!

What you’ll learn at Raw Meat Vancouver Roller Skating:

You will learn the basics of roller skating, including stops, falls, agility drills, skating form, roller skating in proximity with others, a few fun tricks, and some (non-contact) roller derby strategy drills.
All levels of roller skater, including beginners, are welcome. We’ll help beginners learn to skate, and give more advanced skaters some fun drills and games.

What to bring:

You must have roller skates, and all safety gear: knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, helmet, and mouth guard. The venue also requires everyone to use white or light-coloured, non-marking toe stoppers. If your knee pads are black, please cover them with white, non-marking hockey tape. Vertical strips of tape work best.
Sessions are $7, and take place every Saturday from 5-7 at Thunderbird Community Centre, 2311 Cassiar St., Vancouver. It’s
very close to Rupert Skytrain Station.

Sessions are drop-in. Just grab your gear and come join us!

The rules:

Raw Meat has two rules: 1. Be Safe, 2. Don’t be an asshat. All sessions are non-contact.
