Raw Meat Roller Skating Oct 26: Three Hour Spooky Skate

Are you afraid of ghosties and ghoulies and things that go bump in the night?
No?

How about Virginia Wolf?
No?

Pretty brave, aren’t you?

How about three hours of sweaty, thigh-burning effort on eight, slippery wheels? Does that scare you a little?

It shouldn’t! Come out and play with Raw Meat for our three-hour Halloween extravaganza! Expect tricks, treats, and definitely a few bumps in the night! We’ll go through the usual roller skating drills and skills, with a few seasonal games thrown in.

Join us at Thunderbird Community Centre, 2311 Cassiar St., from 5 to 8 PM on Saturday, Oct. 26, for three hours of roller skating fun…if you dare…

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!

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