Skate Association Germany
The Skate Association Germany (SAG) was founded on March 11, 2004 in Münster . The non-profit association organizes the German championship inline halfpipe and street on behalf of the German roller sport and inline association .
The aim of the association is to promote inline skating with a special focus on so-called aggressive skating (stunt skating), i.e. skating on halfpipes, ramps, rails, curbs and other suitable equipment. The SAG sees itself as a representative of the interests of all aggressive skaters and as a contact person for institutions and individuals.
