Library of Skating

Read skating.
Write skating.
Share it.

Library of Skating is building skating literacy: familiar pattern diagrams, a notation for named and unnamed movement, and a shared library of skating programs.

Over time, that library could help us understand what makes skating flow, what makes it difficult, and what makes a pattern interesting.
