QUAD SQUAD
The mission of this roller skate camp is to be an all inclusive gathering that brings new skaters into the community, will make “the skatepark” more appealing to women in general, and ultimately helps to bring quad skating to be showcased alongside other extreme sports. We will aim to do this all while respecting the history of this 8wheel riding sport and teaching skatepark etiquette.
