Skaters in Qatar

Ice skating in the CityCenter

Hello Everybody ...

Qatar has not enough places to offer for the bored people to have their time spent qualitatively , even parks which are not everywhere and usually for families only
are very poor .

There is no place for doing sport activities , so the only thing here is to find
out a group of Interested friends or colleagues or what so ever , and then find
an appropriate place to do your activity

Skating in Qatar could be found indoors for example in City Centre Doha but elsewhere
I have never heard of other places , But for me I like outdoor activities and the weather here is Ok approximately all time of year so there's no problem

But the only thing is to keep yourself safe from the streets cause drivers in Qatar , especially who are driving the 4x4s are doing some nasty accidents here and there in most unexpected places or times .

to Guarantee good skating you have to have a good smooth surface which is usually hard to find in Qatar knowing that most of Doha is worn out from the lack of maintenance take the corniche
as an example , it is supposed to be the best place for skaters but actually it is a very bad place
cause of the rough tiles that never let you run as quick as you wish.

also you have to choose good time to go out , don't go other than early morning or evening cause otherwise you'll disturb people or you'll be disturbed by the sun provided it is hot summer day

also it is recommended to have a bottle of water, and a small towel so that you can enjoy for longer times , one more thing helmet and knee pads will be welcomed also .

Before you set yourself free , check wheel status , tighten them if required , and check the brake
it's in the right position .

don't try slopes unless you can break in a good manner , and don't choose crowded places cause you might hit somebody , etiquette of skaters could be the same as car drivers you can consider it the same rules .
