EGC Skates: Look for the EGC Skates website to be updated soon. Apparently there’s even a nice simple logo that has been designed for EGC Skates. What’s EGC Skates? Eric Gee Custom Skates.

More Grand Fond: In case you haven’t had enough Grand Fond coming at you, here’s some more: click here for a report (in French) which features the perspective of a few racers which has been published on Roller En Ligne.


Nice finish eh?
TO Road Roller Blading: I received this e-mail about 2 months ago- I agreed to post it, but before doing so, I had to re-write a lot of it: An association called TO (Toronto) Road Roller Blading has been created in order to promote inline skating in downtown Toronto. The purpose of the group is to enjoy strolling, visiting, discovering, socializing and to live a healthy urban life. Each Sunday afternoon, the participants will have a meeting spot in downtown Toronto. From this point, they will skate a loop during 3 hours on the road around the city according to the level of participants.

This activity is different from others because it aims to promote the city architectures, monuments, beauties, it creates a community life, it is a reference of riding by rollers inline in North America, and it promotes the safety and healthy practice of inline skating.


Skating (and racing) in downtown Toronto is great! Here, Steve Robillard leads Leonardo Echeverri, Jordan Belchos, myself and the rest of the skaters through the streets in downtown Toronto around Queen's Park circle
Would you like to joint the association to create this event? Some tasks include organizing the event, finding sponsors, getting authorizations to skate on the road, promoting the event, create/host a website, manage the participating crowd, take part into the event. The more people who participate, the more people will be interested. All help will be greatly useful. Please contact Julien at TOroller@yahoo.ca if you are interested. The more people involve the more the event will be great.
