HELP US!!! BLACK ROCK ROLLER DISCO
please send donations to https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/DMJSKATESPORTS
| From Aug. 30 to Sept. 7, 2026, the Black Rock Desert in northeastern Nevada will be the place to be as thousands of people flock to Burning Man 2026. I made my first trek to this unique expression of art, technology and survival in August of 2001. Now I am going to try to express to you what this is and how we bring the Sunday Golden Gate Park skate and the Church of 8 Wheels scene to the Playa in the form of a theme camp called the BLACK ROCK ROLLER DISCO. |

The past few years has devastating for our floor and equipment. Many of the people who have camped with us for years have moved on, some have passed away some just can't go to the Burn anymore. However we are trying our best to keep the roller disco rollin' on the playa. We need new members and we need to raise more money to upgrade the floor and equipment. If you want to help us, please sand a donation to https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/DMJSKATESPORTS WHAT IS BURNING MAN? That's the big question everyone asks. The answer is not simple at all. Anyone who has been there already knows that explaining what is BM is not possible. If you ask 1000 people, you'll get 1000 answers I believe that every individual that has been there will tell you something different. The only way to find that out is to go there and see for yourself. |

For me,
Burning Man is where we go out to the desert and create
paradise for a week. We participate by sharing our
paradise with others while others share their version of
paradise with us. You see, for 47 years now, I have
tried to create a little piece of paradise in San
Francisco's Golden Gate Park every Sunday. Our little
patch of skating paradise at 6th Ave. and
Kennedy Drive sees skaters from all over the Bay Area
come together to share fun, friendship and good times
with people they may have nothing else in common with.
Anyone is welcome. Everyone participates in some way.
There are no rules except to respect each other,
participate, clean up what you mess up and have a
fantastic time. The Burning Man experience is the same communal energy of our skate community in the park or any functional, loving and sharing community only multiplied by about 70,000. There is a of the kind of freedom there that you won't experience anywhere else on the planet. |

You can be what
you want to be, go where you want to go, do what you
want to do and it's great. The responsibilities you do
have are the ones you signed up for. At the same time
you have the responsibility to be a good citizen of
Black Rock City live up the the 10 Principles Burning Man.
Burning Man oozes with artistic expression. I think it is the most fascinating aspect of the festival. The lengths people go through to express their artistic ideas will blow you away. Think of the words "sensory overload". The air is filled with music of every kind all day and all night - under the hot, hot sun and through the cool evenings and all night long. There is no selling or concept of money. Anyone who can will help you. They're interested in you and what you are doing. |

We are going to
have a fantastic time. Please remember that
participation is a requirement. We want you to
participate with us as a member of our camp. There is a
lot of work involved in running a camp, but it is also
great fun.
