What’s up, Kansas City?! December was a whirlwind of activity, capping off the year with a ton of holiday spirit at rinks across the city and the thrilling season kickoff for the Kansas City Roller Warriors! The energy is absolutely electric, and it’s about to get even better. We got word that as part of the Revive the Vine project, plans are moving forward for a brand new outdoor roller rink at Blues Park, with construction slated to begin this spring! This is huge news for our community and a perfect goal to skate toward in the new year.
While the city was buzzing, our Let’s Roll app feed was a little quiet. This is our moment, KC! With so much happening, from derby bouts to the promise of new pavement, let’s make a resolution to light up the app in January. Let’s share our sessions, our favorite hidden spots, and our crew’s meetups. Let’s show everyone what the Kansas City skate scene is all about!
Spotlight on Kansas City Skaters
The KC skater feed was quiet last month, but we know you’re out there crushing it! Let’s start the new year by getting our community connected. Make sure your skater profile is up to date and tag yourself in your sessions. We want to see who’s rolling in the 816!
Log Your January Skate Sessions
Let’s wipe the slate clean for 2026! The session map was empty for KC in December, so let’s make it our mission to fill it up this month. Whether you’re drilling skills in your driveway or cruising for miles on a trail, log your skate sessions and let’s create a heatmap of KC skate life!
