Wednesday Night Skate NYC 2.0

Even on a cold night like last Wednesday, plenty of people made it out for Winter WNS. Since tonight is looking much nicer, so we hope you'll join us for some pre-Thanksgiving fun! Due to COVID cases rising in New York, MASKS ARE REQUIRED during the whole skate. ... Yes, skating outdoors seems to be relatively safe, but we can all take this extra step to help keep each other safe.

Winter weather has arrived, but we're still at it! Join us tonight at 8PM for a chilly skate, led by @sonicskates . Dress for comfort and safety: warm clothing, helmets, lights and MASKS. ... #goskate #skatefam #nyc #everydayislegday #winterweather #rollerblading

Thank you all for making last week's Halloween skate SO MUCH FUN! Officially, WNS runs from April through October. But the weather's still good, so WE'RE STILL SKATING! See y'all tonight at the usual time and place: south steps of Union Square, 8PM.... Bring your friends, bring your love, and BRING YOUR MASKS! We've been a bit lax about that lately, but we need to help #nyc keep COVID in check.

The last *official* skate of WNS 2020 is here! And it's our annual #halloween costume skate. WHO will lead on this special night? WHERE will we go? WHAT great costumes will you all have? WILL we continue skating into November and beyond? You'll have to show up to find out! ... Same time and place as always: south steps of Union Square, 8PM. And REMEMBER, we all want to skate safely. So wear a MASK when possible, and maintain a safe distance when you can't. Photo: @edward592

Great pictures of WNS October 21st, taken by Edward Vargas! The guest leader and route planner was Mr. 4000 miles, Jim Marx! If you didn't catch the details last night, on Sunday Jim will attempt 7 laps of last night's route, totaling 92 miles. Check out his event posting on the Empire Skate Club of New York FB page.

It's not often we get a group shot in the middle of Lexington Avenue! (: @edward592 ) Don't worry, traffic was detoured due to the road work behind us... Speaking of things we don't normally do, tonight's skate will have a guest leader. And the route will be repeated in this Sunday's 92-mile challenge (swipe pic for info, and see @empireskateclubnyc 's Facebook page for details). DON'T FORGET Next week is our WNS costume skate! ... #goskate #skateeverydamnday #wheeladdict #rollerblading #nyc #manhattan #bladeclub #inlineskate #greenlight #fitfam #wheeldoping

Another WNS in the books! Thank you Edward Vargas for capturing and sharing these memories!

How does skating help you see the amongst the ? Maybe it transforms a dreaded commute into an enjoyable one, where gridlock traffic becomes a fun puzzle. No matter why or how you skate, we hope you'll join us tonight at 8PM. See the city in ways that perhaps you haven't, meet new friends who share your passion, and create some positive memories of #2020 Photo: @edward592

We are SO happy that Edward Vargas shares his phenomenal talent with us, and that we can share these photos you. 11 miles through Manhattan on October 7th

Week after week, the question arises: how will you spend your Wednesday night? In this era and city of endless entertainments and distractions (although fewer this year than usual), we're grateful to those who join and support this 25 year #nyc tradition. Looking forward to seeing your faces once again tonight at 8pm.

Fantastic photos from our 3 Bridges (Queensboro, Pulaski, Williamsburg) Skate on September 30th. Thank you to Edward Vargas, as always.

Loving this flashback pic from our skate a few weeks ago! Let's make some good memories now, so that as autumn sets in and leads to winter (accompanied by all kinds of unknowns), we'll have the warmth of our friendships and shared values to sustain us. 8PM, south steps of Union Square, MASKS REQUIRED...

Fall has arrived, but WNS's 25th season is still going strong! So come on out tonight, before the temps really start to dip. Remember, FACE MASKS/COVERINGS are required. And a headlamp/light wouldn't hurt, as the evenings have gotten darker. 8PM, south steps of Union Square (across from Whole Foods on 14th Street).... : @edward592

Thank you Edward Vargas for these fabulous shots! It means so much to have these great times captured, shared and remembered.
