Hi Skaters,

Here in San Francisco we are trying to generate more interest in skating through
our Sunday Streets program. This is where we close city streets to traffic for
recreation. Check it out at http://www.sundaystreetssf.com

Are there any New York skaters getting involved. Three Sundays in August they
will be doing this in New York City. They are doing it in cities all over the
US. Are there any skaters getting involved? Any companies using this as an
opportunity for the public to sample their products? Any skate instructors out
there teaching mew skaters to roll? Where is the activism. What are people
waiting for?

We're rollin' in San Francisco. The interest in the skating aspects of this
promotion is HUGE!!!!! Check out the press conference and you'll see that it
was the skating that dominated the news of Sunday Streets San Francisco.

Sunday Streets in some form is coming to Seattle, New York, Chicago and other
cities. See if it is coming to yours and inject skating in the mix.

Keep Rollin',
