FinLine
2005 is a unique skating trip from the Yyteri beaches to the heart of
Finland, Jyväskylä. To make you feel this FinLine even more like a
holiday,
we have now a special prologue day in the city of Pori. During this day
we have time to get acquainted with each other and find the best
skating friends for the actual skating days.
The unique atmosphere of FinLine is based on the small
number of participants and the free afternoon/evening time in the
destinations. This is why the event is receiving more and more
international interest -- from Europe to Japan.

If you know that you are able to skate this kind of day trips five days in a row, we recommend you to fill the FinLine registration form as soon as possible. There are only limited amount of places for newcomers because people tend to attend every year after skating their first FinLine! Click here for more information on registration.

your registration has been confirmed (not earlier
than 1st of April for newcomers), you need to pay Street Gliders'
membership fee (25 ¤) and the registration fee of FinLine (50 ¤). If
you
have not agreed otherwise with us, pay them well before the dead-line
