Sub-Urban Animals Social Skate (Street Skating 101)
Every Wednesday night we meets at Molly's Pub 7:30 and leave at 8pm, 902 Ramada in Clear Lake. This is 1 block north of the intersection of Bay Area Blvd and El Camino Real. Due to Sherlocks Pub having a dress code, guys must wear a t-shirt. No cut off sleeves or tanks. Feel free to visit their web site and complain just don't mention skaters as we do not want to be known as troublemakers. Wednesday nights are Big Ass Beer nights in Clear Lake! Come on out and get your skate on!
All are welcomed all we require is an urge to skate and enjoy a good time with fellow skaters. We also do other things like road trips on motorcycles, camping, canoeing, hiking and just hanging out together. We're like a lot of those other groups but we don't charge a membership fee. Come out and join us and watch this page for gatherings and events.

CITY OF HOUSTON
CODE OF ORDINANCES:
Section 45-16. Use of Coasters, Toy Vehicles, and Similar Devices on Roadway.
No person riding in or by means of any coaster, toy vehicle or similar vehicle, shall go upon any roadway, except while crossing such roadway in accordance with the pedestrian crossing regulations. These provisions shall not apply to persons on roller skates.
(Code 1968, 46-22. Ord No. 90-1182, 1, 10-3-90)
GUIDELINES FOR MAINTAINING THE RIGHT TO SKATE HOUSTON STREETS
We Don’t Own It:
Police have a legal right and responsibility to maintain the flow of traffic. This includes the right to order skaters off the street if they impede traffic. If a motorist has to alter their driving
pattern because of a skater, the skater is impeding traffic. Skaters rarely if ever need more than one lane when traversing the streets. The safest place for a skater when sharing the road with motorists is in a single lane and as far to the right as is safely possible.
The Lemming Effect:
Skaters should always be aware that they are responsible for their own personal safety. Don’t follow others blindly. Just because the skater in front of you crosses a street or intersection,
does not mean that it is always safe for you to follow them. Don’t believe that the person who is in front of the group always knows where they are going. Each skater should attempt to familiarize themselves with the different skater routes and locations, this information may be needed in getting yourself back in case there is a need to leave the skate early.
Noise Pollution:
As is true in most situations, what might be good in small doses can be harmful in large. The calling of intersections by one or two skaters in situations of emergency is desirable and has saved a few skaters "bacon". The calling of intersections by twenty skaters simultaneously is disruptive, confusing, incoherent, and blatantly unsafe. Again every skater is individually responsible for their own safety. Since night skating occurs so late in the evening, it is only fair to maintain some courtesy of quietness in the neighborhoods that the skater may be rolling through. Some people come down to skate the streets in what might be referred to as a "Zen" or "Stealthy" state, and an obnoxious noise level may be disruptive to fellow skaters.
