Message from the Great EsSKATE Organizers:

We are happy to announce that the second weekend
of February is now officially known as the Great
EsSKATE Weekend here in Miami Beach, FL. That’s
right! After six years of incredible success
with The Great EsSKATE, we've earned our own
weekend on the city’s Calendar of
Events. Skaters will rule the streets here for
this one fantastic weekend each year. And this
coming February, 2007 – The Great EsSKATE will
have you rolling as never before. We have a new
location on Miami Beach, a new hotel, new routes,
new night club … in fact, everything is new and
different for 2007 … except the quality,
excitement, and fun you've come to expect from us.

Here’s what you'll get when you register for the Great EsSKATE 2007:
* 3 days and nights of police-escorted tours
of skater-friendly Miami Beach and Miami
* Friday night poolside dinner at the hotel,
with live DJ and entertainment (think: Caribbean)
* Saturday picnic on the beach with live DJ
* The Famous Great EsSKATE Raffle (previous
years’ prizes have included airline tickets from
AirTran and JetBlue; skates from K2, Rollerblade,
and LandRollers, skate accessories from K2,
RollerBlade, Bont, TruRev, Peter Glenn, TwinCam;
skating tours, events and clinics from Zephyr
Adventure Tours, A2A, Eddy Matzger and Barry
Publow; vacation specials from Bahamas Cruises
and Disney Wide World of Sports; free dinners and
much more from our local establishments)
* Entry to one of Miami Beach’s premier nightclubs on Saturday night
* The satisfaction that comes with having
helped one of America’s most worthy charities
(All proceeds over cost go to FSMA-Families of
Spinal Muscular Atrophy and related charities.
And thanks to all of you, we are proud to
announce that since our inception in 2001, we
have raised more than $60,000 for the Families of SMA.)

So, if it’s cold or lonely where you are this
winter, why not spend your second weekend in
February with us … at the Great EsSKATE. We'll
keep the beaches warm, the cocktails chilled and the skating second to none.

See you in February …

The Great EsSKATE Organizers
