Talk:Road skating/to do

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This entry is currently being actively collaborated on. One skater/philanthropist has offered $1000 in fundraising money towards one of the key roadskating events in the US (the Tour to Tanglewood in Greensboro, North Carolina, a fundraiser to fight Multiple Sclerosis) for people who contribute to the road skating entry. To be considered, send email to dreeves@gmail.com with a one-sentence summary of your contribution. Here is a growing To-do list to get everyone started:
