What an incredible way to roll out the year, London! December was an absolute blockbuster for the skate scene, setting an electrifying tone as we head into January. The entire city was buzzing with festive energy, highlighted by the massive 20th anniversary of the London Santa Skate, which saw hundreds of skaters spreading holiday cheer through the streets. Capping off the month was the groundbreaking London’s First Urban Dance Roller Skating Competition, a landmark event that showcased the incredible talent and creativity pulsing through our community.
Beyond the major events, this month underscored our community’s passion and drive for progress. The powerful petition by Stratford roller skaters for a dedicated local space is a testament to our collective desire for safe, recognized spots to grow and connect. It’s this combination of grassroots activism and high-energy events like Skate Cabal’s Festive Jam that makes the London scene one of the most exciting in the world right now. Let’s carry this momentum into the New Year!
