Wanna Meet the World Team?
Attend the Send the Best Social
By Planet staff
(posted Wednesday, June 14, 2006)

Here's your chance to meet the next generation of Chad Hedricks and Joey Cheeks. Attend the Send the Best Social ($15) July 17 in Lincoln, Nebr.

All the top U.S. inline speed skaters, including Joey Mantia and Brittany Bowe, will be there.

And no doubt some of them will be playing starring roles in future Olympic Games, just as former inliners Hedrick and Cheek did last winter in Turin.

Beside meeting future stars, you'll be contributing to the effort to ensure that the top U.S. speed skaters make it to this summer's World Championships in South Korea.

And you'll also have the opportunity to watch the speedsters race at the Indoor National Championships, which runs through the week (July 16-22) in Lincoln.

The social will include:

• All-you-can-eat pasta bar
• Special guests including the USA's 2006 Inline Speed World team
• DJ & dancing (Bob Justice)
• Door prizes
• Raffle
• Cash bar
• Continuous shuttle to and from Pershing Center (site of Indoor Nationals)
