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!!!
