Last Saturday, skaters joined our national adventurer Mr Khoo Swee Chiow on an urban skating journey from Singapore Expo to Skateline ECP outlet. SAVs were present to ensure safety, especially along the treacherous slope of Changi Road down to the Siglap Park Connector. We even had SAVs in safety vehicles and he who was armed with a camera to provide us with wonderful shots. ;)

At the Skateline ECP, Mr Khoo shared his experiences on his record-breaking attempt of World’s Longest Journey on Skates, clocking a total of 6088km from Vietnam to Singapore. He skated through terrain and weather that most skaters would not have imagined. Flooded roads, hairpin turns in thunder storms and roads that are not roads at all, you name it, he has tried it. To find out more about his experiences, check out his website Dare to Dream.
