**NEWS!! "VELODROME in the SLC VALLEY"? 
Could 100 meters of smooth stuff happen any time soon?
We need you to make this venue happen!!  Please call, write, or email us with your support.  
Updates: slow, but forward progress on a proposed outdoor and indoor Velodrome facility here in the greater Salt Lake area. We are behind the effort 110%!  Having a 100 & 200 meter sanctioned  track, along with the road track, would be crutial in bringing organized roller sports to Utah, for events such as Track Inline Racing and Roller Derby. If you interested in becoming a financial sponsor or volunteer contact us at Skatenow and let us know.  If you like the short stuff, this is for you. We're going the distance to put skating in SLC on the map! 


**NEWS!! "HEY SALT LAKE, ARE YOU READY to SKATE a MARATHON "?

We need you to make this event happen!!  Please call, write, or email us with your support.  
Okay, you've skated a few 5K's & 10k's, but "what's next" you ask?  How about 26 miles of inline skating through streets of Salt Lake?  We're planning inline events and we need your help and feedback.
