Windy City Skaters is a group open for anyone who likes to move around on wheels. We welcome anyone on inline skates, skateboard, longboard etc. 

Chicago has tons of cool places to skate. If you haven't discovered them yet you will with this group. Windy City Skaters is a diverse group of friendly, fun loving people!

Some of the things we have done during the past few seasons are:

  • Organized inline street skates (themed city tours)
  • Inline freestyle slalom practice at North Avenue Beach
  • Critical Mass on Inline skates, longboards and bikes
  • Inline Marathons and the American Cancer Society Walk and Roll event
  • Beginner lessons
  • Skating workshops
We are open for any ideas that bring people together to socialize while skating. We hope to see you out there, no matter what skill level. Watch the recap of the '09 season: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntk_0EnhKx8

See you out there!
