Coming out of France via the Ridemore team is this ace video from the 1km push race. We really like distance skating in all it’s forms; marathon, mile, Ultraskate or country-crossing epic but there is something amazing about a straight up 1000m drag race. Running your own 1km race?

Journey – Just A Couple Of Spins
We stumbled across this trip the other day and got in contact with Flo. He has just completed 58 days of skating, starting in Germany and finishing in Istanbul.

Race – The 2015 Chief Ladiga Silver Comet Skate Challenge
Back in 2010 a certain HammerHead posted this up in the Skatefurther forum. Hey distance people. I have an idea I would like to get all of your input on for an event possibly in 2011.
