What we’re about
Roller skaters in Stockholm who like some company. Both for inline and quad skaters. Let's get together and do some long trips together on selected days! All levels of expertise welcome! :)

DIFFERENT LEVELS
White: No skills required. Bring your own skates and safety equipment (at least for knees and writs): you can't learn if you can't fall.
Green: Can skate and follow the road, with only minimal ascent or descent. Can somehow come to a stop without needing to grab a rail.
Yellow: Good control, able to handle changes in the asphalt, slow down, stop and cope with obstacles. Can skate in the street and handle crossings.
SAFETY RULES AND EQUIPMENT
1. Anybody comes skating at their own risk and responsibility. Although more experienced skaters will be happy to give tips/directions/help, nobody in this group takes responsibility over others.
2. You should wear the safety equipment that makes you feel comfortable skating. You shouldn't be constantly thinking "oh my god what happens if I fall" - so dress in a way in which that is not a constant thought. Wrist and knee protection are advised, which is 99% of times enough to be safe if you know how to fall properly. But of course you can always add a helmet and elbow protection, if you wish. Skating without wrist and knee protections is unsafe (but again, see point 1).
(3. It's a good idea to always have shoes in the backpack, so one can always walk whatever happens.)
