Skating In Hong Kong

A few months ago, SF asked me if I know of any good places to skate in Hong Kong. As some of you may know, I spent the first 12 years of my life living in Hong Kong and I still go there occassionally to visit family. However, I haven't really pay attention to skating back then so the only information that I could offer was some popular cycling and multi-use trails.

By some coincidence, I stumbled upon the website for Checkers Sport Club, the largest inline speed skating club in Hong Kong. Not only do they have regular practices, they also have their very own indoor rink, pro shop, and private speed skating lessons! Many of their coaching staff are also members of Team Bont Hong Kong. Looking at their many club pictures, Checkers has a large kids program too with the young club members racing in many regional meets. Now I have one more place to visit next time I go to Hong Kong!
