BAR 2009:
The Empire Skate Club of New York's seventh
annual Big Apple Roll Weekend - BAR 2009 is an
exciting weekend, Friday-Saturday-Sunday, August
14-16, 2009, of group skates, adventures,
touring, exploring and experiencing New York City
on skates. Party with old friends, make new ones,
feel the rush of skating the New York City
streets. Enjoy the city’s beautiful scenery,
smooth pavement, rolling hills and fast
straight-aways. Central Park is also the capital
of dance skating where you can join the world's
greatest skate dancers for a truly unique experience.

THEME: Some Big Apple Roll Committee Members have
been thinking about giving this year's event the
theme "The Stimulus Skate!" Whether that name
sticks or not, it will definitely be a
stimulating skate weekend! A fun, friendly
weekend to explore NY on and off skates, party
with friends, and feel the rush of NYC street
skating. City skating, island hopping, beaches,
parks, night life and of course our skates through Times Square.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENT: All must bring a great
Attitude for Safe Skating Fun + Great Time with Wonderful People!!!
