VRL

This is a late update. I apologize that there haven't been many updates to the site but we're in the 'off' season and I've be busy with school!

A month ago VRL held a series of races at the Le Taz complex in montreal. A number of Schankel Canada skaters attended and had a great day of racing.

Reports say that the event was very well run and attended and they hope to have another in the future!

Jade Pauly won all events and took home the top prize!

Congratulations to Jade!

Defi

Team Member Mike Garvin competed this past Saturday in the annual Defi ultra-marathon.

Mike finished in a co-operative 4 man pack that crossed the line together. His experience sounds very positive and I look forward to being able to skate the event next year!

You can read Mike's full report by following the link below:

"Over the whole 129Km I think we had to deal with about 1km of gravel all told. Believe it or not we started to develop gravel skating technique! Running through gravel (think 300m starts) it one method, also if you can find hard packed dirt on under light gravel you can just scissor and glide through (keeping your weight on the heels), or you can even skated through it if the gravel is light enough. It still slows you down quite a lot though."

Team member, Mike Garvin, wrote a fantastic report on his experience at this years Northshore Inline Marathon.

"I sprinted to the line as hard I could, cross the finish line at about 40kph..and then started to slow. My leg had decided enough was enough though, and my right leg complete cramped up HARD from my toes up to my knee. With one leg in the middle of pushing suddenly frozen, it wasn’t long before I found myself spinning on the ground"
