Advice BRING
What to bring to RollerCon? Anyone you ask will answer differently. But here is some advice.
Comprehensive, downloadable checklist of what to bring:
Short version: If you do not live in the desert, come prepared for intense heat and incredibly dry climate – outside. You are likely to spend most of your time indoors. However, the casino air is even drier, and in many ways harsher because of the recycled cigarette smoke and the drying effect of air conditioners. The combination of hot, dry and air-conditioned air can dehydrate your body fast, and adding cocktails to the mix enhances the hell.
Most RollerCon attendees also skate a lot more in the 5 days of RollerCon than they normally would in weeks – believe it. You *could* skate from 9am to midnight daily if you add training, bouts, challenges and open scrimmages. That much skating is a blast, but its also hard on the body. So bring what you need to ease the strain.
