Wednesday Night City Skate (Updated 15 Nov 2011) 

City Skate is one of the most popular skating events in Sydney.

EVERYONE is welcome so long as you are able to safely stop on skates. Consider getting lessons from a skate school such as Rollerblading Sydney or SkaterHQ if you are unable to use the brake and / or don't feel comfortable on skates.

There is no organizing body and it has become a weekly tradition where bladers meet in the city and skate to various places as a group. We have had more than 100 rollerbladers and rollerskaters join the SydneyBladers.com cityskate. From recreational, freestyle, speed skaters to street skaters, there is a good mix of great people.

The different types of skates we have are:

First Wed of the month is Virgin Skate. Its social, fun and cruisey. Virgin Skate is not a beginners skate but, as it's name suggests, is for those who can skate but have not been on a City Skate before and would like to join us. It is a more sedate skate along flatter terrain. We take the same route each week. 

Each Wednesday skate gets progressively harder until the last Wednesday of the Month which is Mission Skate where we skate to places often not been to before and look for bigger & steeper hills (if you are not sure you can keep up for these make sure you have your bus fare in your pocket).

We may travel up to 15-20 km and sometimes top it off with a drink at a pub. Everyone is welcome to join us and we will make you welcome. We strongly suggest you wear protective gear including a helmet and that you are a confident skater able to stop on hills. Also, bring a smile........it is all about fun.

WHERE IS IT?
City Skate meets every Wednesday (weather permitting) at:

The steps of the Land Titles Office (The intersection of Art Gallery Rd. St Mary's Rd. and Prince Albert Rd. opposite Hyde Park)
