PROBLEM
Rollerbladers in Moscow live in fragmented information.
City rides are announced across dozens of Telegram chats, spots and locations are shared «by word of mouth,» instructors are found via Profi.ru or acquaintances, and instructional videos are scattered across YouTube.
It is especially difficult for a beginner: it’s unclear where to skate, who to learn from, what protective gear to buy, and whom to trust.
There is no single place where all of this is gathered specifically for rollerbladers.
SOLUTION
Gather everything a roller needs in one place: where to go, who to learn from, what to buy, and who to skate with. This way, the information will be organized, filtered, and supported by reviews from other rollers. For a beginner, this offers a quick start; for experienced rollers, it’s a convenient way to find new spots and people.
FORMAT
ROLLCALL — a mobile application and community for Moscow roller skaters. A digital service housing events, skating locations, instructors, training, and announcements.
