Those crazy newlyweds are off on their honeymoon, so I’m taking over and running amok. MWAHAHAHA!* Evil Mustache twirling* Mwaaahaha *More evil mustache twirling*. Ahem, I mean we’re going to have a lot of fun and I’m excited to hang out with all of you!

Learn to roller skate, and learn some fun, non-contact derby drills. All levels of skater are welcome at Raw Meat. If you are a beginner, we’ll teach you how to get going safely. More importantly, we’ll teach you how to stop! If you are an excellent skater, come play! We’ve got fun variations on drills, plus games!

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

We’ll cover 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.

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.
