“Wanna see my picture on the cover (Rolling Stone) /Wanna buy five copies for my mother / Wanna see my smilin face, on the cover of the Rolling Stone” — Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show*

Well, it’s definitely not the cover of the ‘Rolling Stone,’ but it’s nice anyway — score one for blading! Will it change much, or bring a tidal wave of participants and the almighty dollar? I don’t think so. It did go to around 40,000 households (not including newsstands) that got to see a rollerblader using a local skatepark. Any exposure is good and promoting blading on any level is paramount (you like that word locell?),  whether it’s letting your co-workers know you blade or reaching out to a local newspaper/TV station about an event. It might be as simple as hitting up a launch box when a newspaper photographer stops by your skatepark. Every bit counts and helps! If you’re helping the cause, please reach out to me at alldayevents@gmail.com and I may profile you on my blog for all the other bladeheads still fighting the good fight!
