What do you like about this subject? This sport has been my lifelong hobby. I enjoy working with skaters of all ages and abilities and sharing in their achievements.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I WANT TO PROMOTE THE SPORT OF ROLLER SKATING AND MAKE THE PUBLIC UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS TO PEOPLE OF ALL AGES FOR HEALTH AND MENTAL FITNESS.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject SOME PEOPLE STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT A ROLLER SKATER CAN ACTUALLY DO JUMPS, SPINS, FIGURES, DANCES AND ARTISTIC SKATING ON ROLLER SKATES LIKE ICE SKATERS DO.

Well, it didn't help much. I was hoping to get a recommendation based on her experience as a skater and a coach.

Thank you for the information. I have been to Oaks Park and love their rink. I will look into their Artistic programs.
