What’s up, Kansas City skaters! While our app has been a bit quiet on the new discoveries front this past month, the entire region is buzzing with excitement. Why? The final days of the 2025 American Roller Sports Championship are happening just a road trip away in Union, MO, until July 3rd! This is a massive event showcasing the nation’s best artistic and speed skaters, and it’s an incredible opportunity to see some top-tier talent live.
For those of us staying local and looking to beat the summer heat, the rinks have us covered. River Roll is keeping the good times flowing with their Matinee Summer Skating sessions during the week and their classic Sunday Matinee. So whether you’re planning a trip to see the champs or just looking for a cool place to roll, July is looking fantastic!
