Scooter’s’ Travis Shaw Races In Ottawa Inline Indoor Invitational

Travis Shaw competed in this weekend’s Ottawa Inline Indoor Invitational in Gatineau this weekend. You can view photos here. In his report 2009 Ottawa Inline Invitational, Cor Beattie wrote about Travis, saying-

As you can see from the pics below, Travis Shaw (short track skater extrodinare) dropped in and represented Toronto with a very strong showing.  Although not a self proclaimed distance skater, he was a force to be reckoned with in the short sprints.  You can never turn your back on those Torontonians, they will sneak up on you every time.
