The inline skating world is one of the most dedicated fanbases out there. They have stuck around for the highs and lows of the industry and continue to love and showcase the sport that’s so dear to our hearts. With a new wave of inline skaters coming to the sport we thought it would be only fair to showcase all the fun and unique events that happen throughout the US. We also want to showcase the groups and clubs that are continuing to help grow inline skating through their get-togethers and events. This blog is broken down into two segments races & skating clubs. We then broke those down into the four regions of the United States.
Did we miss one of your favorite races or skating clubs? Let us know in the comments or by emailing our team at andrew@findenmarketing.com.
