What we’re about
Experimental, group focused on trying new things, creating unique events, growing as a person, making friends, and taking intentional action to try to become a better you.
Is it better to be alone, or with people?
Are you more likely to hit a goal if it's well defined and you know what you're aiming for?
Will the outcome be the same regardless of what you do, or do your actions determine or impact the result?
How does one build a strong community and really get to know people?
Time flies and life gets busier as you go, so you have to be more intentional to set aside time to maintain relationships or to make progress on a goal/ side project. I find it doesn't tend to just happen randomly or on it's own.
What kind of person are you aiming to be? What does the best you look like?
What hinders you or prevents you from becoming who you want to be?
Is there a cost if you don't reach your goals?
I'd like to push myself and encourage others to grow in these areas. It won't be perfect, but even just trying seems to have a merit on its own. I find it's easier to work and be creative when you have others who are similarly minded/ passionate.

Group comfort: Behavior that makes other members uncomfortable may be addressed privately by leadership; repeated violations can result in removal/ban.
Members who miss three scheduled meetings/events without prior notice (changing RSVP from Going to Not Going) may receive a warning. Repeated No Shows beyond that may result in removal/ban from the group.
Members who have been inactive for 6 months or longer may be removed/banned from the group, at leaders discretion. Inactivity includes not attending events or engaging with the group. Leadership may send a notice before removal, but if member has been inactive for a year or longer, a notice will likely not be sent. Inactive members may be removed/banned without further warning if needed to maintain an active and engaged community. Inactive members without profile pictures or who have been inactive for a year or longer, are more likely to be banned, since our group focuses on in-person events and wishes to avoid bots, scammers, lurkers.
Members are expected to use a profile photo that reasonably reflects their actual appearance. Misrepresentation of your photo — such as using someone else’s image, a misleading image, or a drastically altered photo — may result in a ban at the discretion of leadership. Said profile picture may be required for events at private residences, to get the address and to attend.
Bans are generally final, but may be reconsidered if the member demonstrates a willingness to follow group rules and contribute positively. Contact leadership(Timothy N) if you would like to discuss a reconsideration.

âš Important Event Info:
All guests must wear wristguards while skating, regardless of ability.
All guests entering the building (skating or non-skating) must have a completed liability waiver within 24 hours of the event.
NOTE1
skating can be dangerous! So if you aren't very coordinated or balanced in general, it might be recommended you skip this event
SAFETY
Don't be stiff while skating, instead I recommend always having your knees bent a bit, don't lock your knees/legs! This will help you with balance. I can help teach you the gist of how to move forward in skating. Recommend wearing thick or double pair of socks for padding, to help make skating more comfy as well
And there are tips for falling safely, here's a quick general guide:
you want to protect your vulnerable parts (like wrists and head) and distribute the impact over larger part of your body to reduce the overall impact force (ie landing on your side, a large area, versus landing on a small point like you hand/wrist (bad!)). Aim to land on more padded/cushy/ areas of your body. Try to relax and not stiffen when falling. Never try to catch yourself with straight arms or stiff legs. Instead, bend, roll, and fall on bigger muscle groups
Be careful not to lock your elbows or just stick your arm out straight/stiff to land on it, that could cause a break. Don't randomly flail your arms around, try to bend your knees and get lower to the ground if you need more balance or feel you might fall. So if you fall, aim to land on your butt, side, forearms (between elbow and wrist), thigh, knees, not your outstretched palms. Can practice falling on soft grass, carpet, or mats to get some muscle memory.
For Newcomers: “Fall Like a Rock”
Think “curl in” rather than “reach out.”
Practice falling backward from a low squat (you get here by first bending your knees when you think you might be falling to try to get low to ground) onto a padded surface: Tuck chin, Cross arms or hug chest, Sit down and roll slightly onto your upper back
NOTE2:
if you're new, I know it can be hard to find the group, and it also can be hard for me to find/recognize you as well. To try to help, I'll be wearing a red wristband, and you can ask people "are you part of the meetup"15 attendees
