Skate events during the summer in Belgium

Are you looking for skating events now the weather is starting to become better? Look no further! Every roller bike parade is listed on this amazing site called rollerbikeparade.be!
This site has a list of all the cities that have a parade throughout the coming months. We're still waiting on the first confirmations for the tours, but hell is it going to be fun! A DJ setup mounted on a car at the front and back of the group, lots of skaters and the police blocking the road so we can pass safely through the city. What more can you ask for?

Of course there are smaller local tours as well, for example Ghent has a darling 'roller parade' (They don't like me calling it a family tour) for all ages which is perfectly doable for less advanced skaters and most certainly a fun event to socialize for better skaters.

Are they all the same?

Of course, they are all different tours in different cities, so let's bring you up to date with a few things you might want to keep in mind.
Some cities, like Leuven, ask that the tour ends at 22h00 so the population isn't disturbed by loud music during the nighttime. However, our friends from the local skating club (RSC Leuven) don't like the idea of riding less kilometers than they would at other tours, so they ride a similar distance a little faster.
Others, like Brussels, just make sure you have a train home for those using public transport, which is amazing, but also makes it a little later if you ride both the small and big tour. That being said, Brussels is known for letting us ride through the tunnels, which is as amazing and exhausting as it sounds.
And then there's the smaller ones like Ghent where you can't forget to set an alarm if you want to catch the last train at all. Otherwise you might get stuck like a certain person who proceeded to spend the entire night at Blaarmeersen to catch the first train in the morning (couldn't be me, don't look at me. I didn't do it. Maybe I did...). lees meer

Skating: The ultimate way of commuting?

It's a thought a lot of skaters will have had at least once. I had this thought popping up for the first time when I was about to start going to university. I wanted to get new skates, ones that would be amazing for going to lectures as well as being amazing for fun city rides at night. My FR1 310s were the obvious choice for that. Yet I ended up taking my bike almost every day since it was more convenient than using the small stairs they put in the classrooms while wearing skates.

Make your own skate with this new feature (first of its kind):

What about putting together your own skate? Choosing the perfect frame, the perfect boot and the perfect wheels and receiving these assembled or in parts, depending on your preference while still being more cost-efficient than buying every piece separately? Who would say no to that?
If you like this idea as much as I do, I have good news for you: Sliding Tiger now has the option to build your own skate in a wizard!
