CAN ANYONE SKATE ?
The Barbary Coast Roller Marathon and Half Marathon is designed to give all levels of skaters a fantastic skating experience. It's great racing for the hard core racers. It's a high mark of accomplishment for the fitness skater or enthusiast. It's an absolute blast for the recreational skater. There is a little something for all. You can wear 4 wheel blades, 5 wheel blades or even "quad" conventional roller skates.
WHAT DO I GET? Outdoor skating is a fantastic way to get a great workout while having a great time. The closed roads create "recreational asphalt" where youth and adults alike can have an opportunity to experience what a great sport and fun, healthy activity inline skating and roller skating can be. |
