We'll be having a Greensboro Eddy Matzger Roadshow Inline Speed Workshop this Easter weekend, April 6-8. I hope that you'll come and have some bunny weekend fun with us while getting a serious workout with some great dryland and skateland drills. We'll be honored to have you here, and since it is later in the year than before, it should be nice and warm and the trees and flowers should be beautiful. I'll provide more details later, but suffice it to say that Eddy is the best teacher I've ever met and many have gone on to huge increases in speed after one or two or more workshops. The rest of us have benefited greatly even if we haven't fully applied ourselves to the great things we learned at the workshop, and it is always a wonderful weekend where we focus on love of the wheels and the joy they bring to our lives. Come join us! More details soon, including how to sign up! For those who've done or are considering the Tour to Tanglewood, the locations will be familiar and just as convenient as ever, as we do the sessions in the same general area of town near the airport. Stay tuned for more! Skateylove, Blake

I think skatefarm.com is not ready yet and skatecentral.com doesn't show 2007 yet either. I just got the official notice today, but when I took Eduardo to the aeropuerto de Greensboro last Friday it was one of the topics we covered.
Much of the talk was about his visit to the Federal Magistrate regarding incidents on the Blue Ridge Parkway and his friendly discussions with the local Sheriff regarding our beloved sport of roadskating. I may have more on this later, but if you know Eddy, you know his approach is not as confrontational as others might wish or as you may have heard it described. I think he believes an informal approach in the beginning is best to demonstrate the safety and viability of our participation where bicycles are allowed.
Sometimes reporters unintentionally add their own spin to comments, as I am aware from coverage of comments I made about doing A2A on "the day we said we would" in 2006.
In any case, I'm hoping our new member, skatefarmer, will find time to post from around the world now and then.
Yes, this is terrific news for the local inline scene. Thanks for posting this Blake, and for what was quite likely a lot of behind-the-scenes work making it happen.

The April date will be a great kickoff for the '07 outdoor season. My shorttrack ice season will have just ended a couple weeks earlier. I will do what I can to make it back to NC.
