Please listen to my recent interview with Scott Simon on NPR: https://www.npr.org/2020/05/23/861438243/rollerblading-sees-resurgence-amid-coronavirus-pandemic?fbclid=IwAR004KoeOHfrgbXFogMZ3nB6KQHBGOgsnCsPzvz6GZDUvkfFkeYC3RtfbrA

Here’s the bottom line: INLINE SKATING IS BACK! It’s the perfect social distancing activity for the ‘new normal’, and, as always, I’m ready to meet the demand – one-on-one and group lessons, kid and adult parties, events – all can be distanced and done safely.

So contact me about you and your friends/family getting (back) into inline skating with me as your guide. Reach me at [email protected] or 315-744-44

And please share this post with your FB friends. Thanks very much and hope to see you soon!

Skating was at peak popularity two decades ago. Many are picking up the hobby as an easy socially distant activity.
