What’s up Skate Fam! Welcome to the community. Thrilled to have you here. Take a sec to introduce yourself, doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated. Just be yourself. …ill go first. 👋🏽My name is Knejie Allen. I’ve been skating for 10 years. Currently rolling in custom Riedell 3200s w and arius plate and probably some slick wheels (95A+). Im in Kansas City and own a Skate school, SK8SHOT Studios.

My husband (a rollerblader/hockey player) shared this link about plans for a new outdoor rink in Kansas City, MO historic 18th & Vine jazz district. We have a few outdoor rinks in the area but, those are mostly setup for hockey. This one looks really large and should be fun! https://fox4kc.com/news/new-outdoor-skating-rink-coming-to-park-near-18th-and-vine-jazz-district/

Share your 2025 skate goals! Skills wise what do you hope to improve? Meeting skaters? Travelling to a rink or event you've never been to?... Im working towards mastering sit spin by summer and hopefully 5 comfortable hurricane kicks. Aiming to skate 3 times a week whenever possible and get to more street skate meets with my local skate community. Holding myself accountable here so hopefully I'll be looking back at this post soon enough having achieved them and maybe more along the way. 🤞🏼🛼🌪️
