Helsinki, get ready to roll into September with some amazing new energy! Our own Let’s Roll community has been busy mapping the city, and we’ve got a fantastic new spot discovery to share. This is what it’s all about—skaters on the ground finding those perfect patches of pavement for all of us to enjoy.
While we’re exploring new ground, the group skate scene is buzzing with consistent meetups. If you’re looking for a crew, the one can’t-miss event is the Helsinki Wednesday Skates, a fantastic way to see the city and meet fellow skaters. And with the success of awesome new events like August’s very first Sunset Skate Session, it’s clear the Helsinki scene is alive and growing. Let’s keep the momentum going this month!
