Sweet Valley ROLLERS "Lights, Camera, Roll!"
9/28 Monday
TIME: 715PM
15 Miles | Intermediate – Advanced
Meet @ N. Hollywood Stations
5350 Lankershim Blvd.
North Hollywood
~15 miles | Moderate difficulty | Rolling terrain
Come roll through the Valley with Sweet Valley Rollers! This ~15-mile evening cruise starts and ends at North Hollywood Station, taking us through Burbank and past neighborhood streets and some of the area’s iconic movie studios and filming locations. Meetup is at 7:15 PM, with rollout at 8:00 PM.
The route has about 270 ft of elevation gain, with mostly smooth, skate-friendly surfaces and some typical cracks along the way. The first half has a noticeable downhill stretch, while the second half brings a more substantial uphill section before heading back toward North Hollywood.
Skaters should be comfortable cruising at an 8–10 mph group pace, controlling their speed on descents, and confidently braking and stopping. Plan for approximately 2 to 2.5+ hours on the route, depending on stops and the group.
Come ready for a fun night of skating, city lights, and Burbank movie magic!
“Sweet Valley Rollers”
As one of the newest skate groups in the LA scene, The Sweet Valley Rollers was founded by a father-daughter duo—Ophelia and Edward. While most LA skate groups are south of the 101 freeway, their dream is to bring love to the San Fernando Valley on wheels.
Edward has been a casual inline skater and bicyclist since the ’80s and encouraged Ophelia, at the age of eleven, to play roller derby with a local team. Their love for skating, in combination with their love for other street skating groups, led them to create SVR.

TBD.
Born out of the pandemic, the Skate Hunnies started in 2020 as a space for people to gather safely to move through it all together. Our founder, Jen Yonda, had a vision of building a women’s inline skate crew shortly after moving to Los Angeles from the East Coast.
Jen first experienced group skating with LA Friday Night Skate, a weekly advanced skate that’s been taking over the streets since the “good old days.” Finding the group inaccessible for many new skaters and lacking female representation, Jen dreamed of creating her own group of women to skate with.

“The father of all Los Angeles Skate Group”
The LA FNS started in 1995 by the Venice Beach Skate Dancers who were enthralled by the cultural phenomena of the San Francisco Friday Night Skate. San Francisco started the world’s first Night Skating group right after the an earthquake damaged the Golden Gate bridge, forcing people out of their cars. By 1995 the SF FNS had become famous, attracting 700+ skaters each week. The Venice Skaters would travel to San Francisco to join their FNS. Not wanted to be out done, Christopher, (OG Venice Skate Dancer) wanted to bring the excitement and thrill of street night skating to LA. Soon, with his DIY sound system backpack, the LA FNS had grown to a weekly rolling disco party.
Fast forward to 2018, all the large annual skate events were on the East Coast. LA FNS skater Lena V inspired by New York’s Big Apple Roll thought LA should have its own annual skate event. But what to call it…. And the Big Avocado Roll was born.
