Scooter’s 2011-2012 Season Wraps Up, Skaters Now Skating Outside
The 2011-2012 Scooter’s Indoor Speed Club season wrapped up on Monday April 2nd. The year’s final practice included flying laps and 200-meter ladder races. Jade Pauley set the best mark in the flying laps with a 9.85 on a floor that didn’t provide optimal grip (traction) in the corners.
The majority of those who skate at Scooter’s will skate during the summer months with the Toronto Inline Skating Club, Shift Racing, and the Hamilton Club.
Good luck to all SISC skaters who will be competing at the 2012 Canadian Indoor Championships in Laval (Montreal) on April 14-15.
