Roller Skating Links

This page is basically a snapshot of the Roller Skating related sections of my web-browser "bookmarks". As such it attempts to provide links to interesting things related to Roller Skating, but doesn't really pretend to be all that comprehensive or well organized.

If there's something you think that I should know about, drop me a note, but I don't promise to maintain these links on an item by item basis.

Any mention of "Skating" not otherwise qualified should be assumed to refer to Roller Skating!

Skating FAQ's & Indexes

Skating the Infobahn is the premier In-line Skating link site, but also includes some Roller and Ice Skating stuff. Sandra's Skate Web is similar, but Ice Skating oriented. The others entries are the various skating related FAQ's.

Skating Rinks

These are Roller Rink Directories and web pages that have substantial information about a particular rink
Note that commercial/developed in-line and hockey rinks are included, but not ad-hoc rinks or rink-less hockey leagues!!!

Rink Directories

Links to on-line Rink Directories

George Robbins's Rink Directory: This is my own rink directory and I think it is the most comprehensive and detailed known to exist...
GoSkate's Rink Directory: GoSkate's directory appears to be mostly data stripped out of my directoy, with some updates from a slightly newer RSA directory.
Daniel Sloan's Rink Directory: Daniels's directory seems to be a copy of Larry Lawson's with better formatting and without links.
Larry Lawson's Rink Directory: Larry's Directory was one of the first attempts at a "national" directory, but it was orginally supposed to include only "artistic" rinks.
Roller Skating rinks in the UK: Nick's directory is gradually growing and hopes to include all the rinks in the UK.
Skate DownUnda - Australia: Darren Wu's directory includes both Roller and Ice Rinks, Shops and hot spots in Australia and appears based largely on the on-line Australian Yellow Pages.
Where to Skate in Australia: Rafik Makary's directory is the source of the Australian info on Jacqie Owens' page, but now it has a home of its own!
Rollerblade's Hockey Rink/League Directory: This is supposed to be Rollerblade's (tm) "Rink Directory", but it's more of listing of Roller Hockey leagues and clubs than a rink directory.
InLine Online - Hockey Rink/League Directory: This is Inline Magazine's on-line "rink directory" - it's also a mixed bag of hockey rinks and clubs
