Collection of long-distance skates
Skatepacking, skatetouring, bladepacking, ultraskating, and so on. If there's an agreed-upon name for this, then I'll update this page. There is an immense lack of online resources out there about the long distance trips that have been completed or attempted on inline skates. Yet, somehow on every trip I've been on, I run into a shopkeeper or hotel owner who tells me about somebody who also passed through on skates previously. Here's an incomplete list I've compiled while researching (distances are approximated):
- 10000km across Canada – Blading for Bees
