Y’all I messed up 🤦🏻‍♂️😂
I got so excited to make ALL the summer skate plans that I accidentally double booked my crew for August!
Thing is, the Rise & Roll crew is bringing so many weekly skate meetup offerings all summer long (on top of big plans and skate parties every month), that rescheduling the August date just isn’t feasible 🤷🏻‍♂️ so Join us in Seattle for instead!

COMMUNITY SAFETY POST- PLEASE READ/SWIPE THROUGH:

Some recent developments in the PDX rollerskating community have led me as a community organizer to have a lot of check-in conversations regarding people’s vision of what safety looks like in a large community that regularly gathers to overwhelming numbers.

Many people in the skate community have had the impression that and are the same organization.
We are not.
For a period of time we were loosely teamed up, and Rise & Roll did a lot of promoting for Secret’s event, but we are completely different groups, with what has unfortunately turned out to be very different visions of community & crowd safety in a pandemic.

Please read through the slides for a more detailed rundown of the process that has led us to make a very difficult and sad decision for the sake of our safety and our community’s well-being.

We will no longer be promoting
To those of you looking for a safer alternative to Secret, stay tuned for the new offerings in the schedule update in our next post

Thank you to all of you who Rise & Roll with us, as well as all of you who are still mustering the courage to come outside and join us. Your safety and accessibility is important to us, and we hope to skate responsibly with all of you soon.

Many of you have asked about having later meetups so you can make it after work- we’ll be moving the daily Rigler jam/social skates later into the evening at the start of June, so more folks can make it and we can all skate into the sunset together! Stay tuned 😎🛼
