Barcelona Rollerblading Organization
Description
B.R.O. (Barcelona Rollerblading Organization) is a community-driven rollerblading organisation based in Barcelona, created by skaters with decades of experience in the local scene. Its goal is to promote and develop rollerblading, bring different generations of skaters together and create new opportunities, projects and experiences around the sport.With a strong connection to Barcelona's skating history, B.R.O. works to keep the local scene active while helping shape its future. The organisation brings together skaters with different backgrounds and levels of experience, creating a community where people can participate, contribute and feel part of the local rollerblading scene.
A Club for the Rollerblading Community
B.R.O. operates as a club with different membership options designed around different levels of involvement. Supporter members can support the organisation while benefiting from partner discounts, exclusive events and B.R.O. products. BRO members can participate more actively in club meetings and assemblies, vote on proposals and represent B.R.O. in competitions.
The PRO membership provides an additional level of support for skaters who want to participate in official competitions. It includes a federative licence, allowing members to compete as federated skaters representing B.R.O. in official national events, as well as accident insurance covering training and competitions. B.R.O. also offers specific benefits for younger members, including a reduced annual PRO membership price for skaters under 16.
All B.R.O. members receive the official B.R.O. shirt as part of their membership, alongside access to the club's partner discounts and other member benefits.
Developing Rollerblading in Barcelona
Beyond membership, B.R.O. develops projects and activities aimed at strengthening the local rollerblading community. Its work includes skating sessions, events, training and other initiatives designed to give skaters opportunities to meet, learn, compete and continue developing their skating.
The organisation is also connected to the wider history of Barcelona's rollerblading scene. The experience of its members and board brings together decades of involvement in skating, competitions, crews, media, coaching and event organisation.
B.R.O. is ultimately about building a stronger rollerblading community in Barcelona: preserving the culture and experience of previous generations while creating opportunities for the next ones.
