It may or may not be an actual trend (is it a trend?), but there certainly seem to be a remarkable number of roller skating activities in the Slope this summer. Or at least, two roller skating activities, which by my standards, is a lot.

In Washington Park, you can watch other people roller skate, Broadway-style: [Xanadu](/blog/art-music/aussies-on-roller-skates-the-piper-theatres-xanadu-opens-tonight) continues on through July 20th.

But if your idea of roller skating involves actually donning skates and, like, first-hand moving, Brokelyn [recommends](http://brokelyn.com/skate-truck-nyc-prospect-park-rentals/?ref=bklyner.com) you check out [The Skate Truck NYC](http://www.skatetrucknyc.com/Home%5FPage.php?ref=bklyner.com), which will be renting roller skates and roller blades to “retro cool” Brooklynites this Friday in Prospect Park.

It’s $15 for a 2-hour rental, $25 to skate all day (10am-5pm, who needs work?), and $30 for a rental plus a lesson taught by an “internationally accredited skater.” And if Friday the 13th seems like an inauspicious time to start your skating career, that’s cool, too: the truck’s around all summer, so check their [schedule](http://www.skatetrucknyc.com/Where%5FAre%5FWe%5F.php?ref=bklyner.com) or their [Twitter feed](https://twitter.com/TheSkateTruckNY?ref=bklyner.com) to stay updated on assorted rolling opportunities.
