Happy New Year, Raleigh skaters! As we roll out of an awesome holiday season and into January, the energy in the Triangle is absolutely electric. While the rinks were buzzing with festive fun, our street skating community was hard at work, uncovering fresh pavement and putting new locations on the map. The biggest discovery this month is a fantastic new spot right behind the Hunt Library—a perfect place to kick off your 2025 skate goals!
Beyond our own app discoveries, the whole city has been alive with skate events. We hope you caught the awesome energy of the Carolina Roller Derby Winter Wipeout earlier in December, a true showcase of our city’s powerful derby scene! And the fun isn’t over yet; you can still catch the last of the United Skates' Winter Break Roller Skating events as we glide into the new year. It’s the perfect time to grab your crew and hit the wood floors or the city streets!
