You need no invitation to join us, just show up! Watch our Facebook page for more info about the Night Skate!
The route is not fixed and the skate is open to all types of wheels, but it's a skate for skaters. We try not to lose anybody. That said, we have dropped many a proud skater. You should pick a buddy before we start, and always carry a phone in case you get lost.
We meet at the corner of 2nd & San Pedro in downtown LA @ 7:45pm.
We skate @ 8:08pm!
The 5th Tuesday of any month we will visit other areas of LA, check the Facebook page for details.
Everybody likes driving, but nobody likes traffic. We always end near Metro rail stops and finish long before the trains stop running, so why not? Go ahead, try it out!.
DTLA is the literal center of LA and it's our city's fastest growing area. We cover all of downtown, and there's no better way to see it than on skates!
We're as close as we can be to as many people as possible. There are over 10 million people within 50 miles of DLTA.
This is an adult skate for good skaters. You don't need to be great, but you should be good. You want wheels in the 80mm or up range, you want pads to make you comfortable and most of all, bring some lights!!!
We never close! OK, we do cancel once in a blue moon, but we average 50 skates per year. If we do cancel it'll be on the Facebook page at least 2 hours before the start, so if you're unsure, check out our Facebook page!
We're here to have fun, meet people, and waste time, in pretty much that order. We ask that everybody shows up on time ('cause some folks have to work Wednesdays) but other than that, we're just looking for a good time.
... here's a bunch of random group photos 'cause, you know... website.
... and here's a sampling of different routes we've done.
Flat, close
Sometimes we just stay downtown, but we'll explore all kinds of spaces both old and new.
Hilly, traffic
Going to Echo Park always means we'll get some hill work in, either way we go.
Hilly, dark
East LA is the city's first 20th century suburb, and it's a great skate.
Mild hills, mixed traffic/residential
The West Adams district makes for fine skating on those nights when nobody wants to work too hard.
Downhill, challenging
When we take the Metro to Pasadena, the ride back to LA is all about the downhill!
Flat, dark
Take the train to NoHo, then skate 17 miles back to downtown, 12 miles of it on traffic-free paths.
