An exciting gathering of actions sports gave weekend city goers at Dhoby Gaut a good overview of the scene in Singapore. Targeted at youths, the Youth Sports Roadshow, organised by Avivar brought together exciting sports with strong youth appeal like wushu, wakeboarding, frisbee, contact rugby and of course inline skating. Exhibitors were a good mix of independent businesses and associations. Contact rubgy, for example, was well represented by the Singapore Rugby Union, the local National Sports Association (NSA) for rugby. On the other end, virtually non-commercial Ultimate Frisbee was represented by its core group of enthusiasts. The heat of the urban afternoon was made interesting with sports displays sprinkled through the day. The Atrium at Orchard, or the open space in-front of Plaza Singapura offered ample space for all demos. Besides telling visitors about inline skating and giving away complimentary skate lessons, Skateline brought on an exciting display of Slalom skating though slalom enthusiasts Ivan, Wenling and Longwen. They wowed the crowd with technical footwork despite the difficult surface on stage. It was also a field day for Skateline customers who took advantage of the attractive "Skate Explosion" special offer. [Ed]
