This forum was created in conjunction with Rocker-U.net and TheRockerFund.org to facilitate the easier, quicker, more dynamic sharing of information between Short Track fans than would be available on our more 'static' websites.
We want to create a comfortable environment for new fans to chat and learn about the sport and its athletes - and for skaters, their family members, veteran fans and others within the skating community to interact and teach us all more about short track, if they choose to do so. It is our hope that the bonds created here will inspire attendance at events and help to 'grow' this amazing and exciting sport.
For those who are attending events, the Trip-Planning board is a place to share info and make ride- and room-sharing connections.
We also advocate and champion any initiatives that will help 'grow the sport' and/or improve the skaters' safety, well-being, funding, and their relationship with their coaches and sports governing bodies.
Lastly, the forum is also intended as a place where fans can easily send encouragement and well-wishes to the skaters as they train and compete, and to create an 'archive' of their careers via photos, videos, articles and commentary. It is our hope that the skaters will read here periodically and know that we're supporting them as they pursue their goals, both on and off the ice.
