What’s up, Kansas City skaters! As we roll out of September, the energy in the local scene is absolutely electric, and it’s all building toward an awesome October. The biggest news buzzing through the city is the massive, all-ages Skate Jam at Rolling Magic Skate Park in Lenexa. This free event on September 20th is set to showcase what’s being called ‘the best skate park in the Kansas City area,’ and we can’t wait to see the clips you all post from it!
Beyond the brand-new concrete, our classic rink culture is stronger than ever. The good times are guaranteed with regular sessions like the Saturday Matinee Skate and Friday Night Skate at River Roll. Plus, you won’t want to miss the vibes at the Lets Roll: KC Skate Party at Winnwood Skate Center. From fresh parks to polished wood floors, KC is proving it’s the place to be on eight wheels this fall!
