Vancouver Torrent

Vancouver, BC
http://www.vancouverskate.com/
Hi All
Our season has started, training and racing Sundays and Tuesdays.
Everyone come on out.
We want, need more members, more skaters to pull into the wind!!!
Seriously skating with the Torrent will take your skating to another level.
.
We will be looking for new members for 2008 so if you are interested drop us a email for info.
A group of Greater Vancouver fitness and speed skaters have formed a skating club called the Vancouver Torrent.
Our mission is to promote and enjoy the sport of speed and fitness skating in Vancouver.
We organize and participate in race events in Vancouver as well as travel to many North American skating events including marathons. We do interval training, and basic skills and drills to improve skating ability on Tuesday evenings at 5:30 interval and skills training in Steveston, exit off highway 99 at Steveston exit, go thru # 5 rd. light and turn next left, Coppersmith rd., proceed to end of street and into parking lot, see CISL 650 radio sign. 2km. lap course, great pavement and a very good workout. Sunday mornings 9:30 AM in Richmond, meeting under the Arthur Laing bridge, exit Templeton and then right on Grauer Rd. on the way to the airport. On this skate we work on technique, endurance, race strategy, pack and cadence training. We skate to Iona Park and back, 15k laps. Many different levels of skating so please don't think you have to be a speed demon or a turbo Torrent! Once a month we stage a 10 k race in Richmond off of Steveston and # 5 Rd. There are also many other skating opportunities and fun skating throughout the summer.
We have a $50 annual membership fee and invite anyone interested in participating at any level to join. We have a skater who assists with coaching, as well as many of the elite skaters offer help. Conny Strub, the # 2 female skater in Canada and national team member trains with the club. Contact us through the web site or our hot line at 604-980-6679. Helmets are mandatory, wrist guards recommended.

DISCLAIMER: Even if you
do not join the club, please be advised that the USE of HELMETS is REQUIRED
during events sponsored by Vancouver Skate Patrol, including but not limited to
its weekly city skates, and that the National Skate Patrol Inc. ("NSP")
strongly recommend that all participants in such events should carry medical
and liability insurance and should wear full protective gear (i.e., helmet,
wrist guards, kneepads, elbow pads, and, at night, reflective clothing and
blinking lights). Please also be advised that there are particular inherent
risks of injury involved in city inline skating, including, but not limited to:
dangers arising from falls, equipment failure, collision with vehicles,
bicycles, other skaters, and pedestrians, unexpected obstacles including
potholes, manhole covers, grates, chains, trolley tracks, cobblestones, bad
pavement, water, oil, debris, gravel, curbs, stairs, hills and inclines, severe
injury and death. This list of possible risks is not comprehensive, because
conditions on the street, including the weather and lighting, are constantly
changing. Neither Vancouver Skate Club nor NSP can accept any liability for the
existence of any such risks. Ultimately, each skater is responsible for staying
alert to potential risks and obeying all traffic regulations. Finally,
Vancouver Skate Club and NSP strongly recommend that all participants in
Vancouver Skate Club-sponsored events (including its city skates) should be in
good health, should verify that their equipment is in good condition, and
should possess and master a set of minimum skate skills before participating in
such events: the ability to skate in control, especially on hills and in groups
of skaters; to stop in traffic; to maneuver curbs; and to avoid obstacles).
