Raise your hand if you love a good roller skate resource (emoji with glasses, hand raising emoji)! Well guess what?! Reconstruction of the CIB Tricktionary has begun. Our goal for this revision is to make a roller skate-specific resource that is more informative, comprehensive and visually appealing than ever. We’ve divided the revision process into three phases and as we roll it out we are going to need input from our CIB Community, you! Head over to the blog to read more about our process and get stoked on this new build!

Kia Ora. Today is Indigenous Peoples Day. While acknowledging the land that we are living and skating on is an important start, there is a lot that needs to be done to decolonize and indigenize roller skating.
CIBCrew and all of us have a lot of work to do. Today we will be taking a break from sharing skating content to share resources in our stories on land back, decolonization, and indigenization, as well as to celebrate Indigenous creators.
We want to acknowledge that this is not enough, and this goes far beyond an individual day and is something that all of us should be working towards every single day.
CIB Crew’s headquarters are based in Tāmaki Makaurau in Aotearoa the tangata whenua iwi is Ngāti Whātua.
To find out what lands you are living and skating on, go to https://native-land.ca/
