LET’S ROLL!
THE RELENTLESS 2800 FRIDAY DIGEST
Friday updates and news and stuff.
Our favorite hate mail is the kind we get when we sprinkle a little fun into this challenge. Recently, we learned that Pickleball is a four-letter word to some of you. Who knew?
Grab your quills and ink pots because some of you are about to rage-write us a fresh batch of complaints. Ready? Here goes…
WE’RE HAVING A SKATE DATE!
That’s right. Rollerskating. Four wheels. Flashing lights. Wind in your hair. Maybe even a glorious wipeout or two. And for those of us who hear “skating” and immediately get visions of ABBA, Bee Gees, and questionable ‘70s fashion choices—this one’s for you.
THE CHALLENGE: If you—and anyone from your team (bring the whole squad!)—hit the rink in the NEXT 10 DAYS, each of you can claim a one-time bonus of 10 RM’s.
So dig out your most ridiculous skating outfit, stretch those hamstrings, lace up tight, and get ready to roll. We’ll see you on the rink. And yes, we’ll be judging your moves…harshly.
Bonus points if you attempt any of these sweet tricks:
Rock 'n' Roll
Stall with your back foot on the coping, or plant your toe stop on the transition (the classic old-school way). Tap your front skate on the deck, then do a 180 to roll back in, heading forward. Style points if you stretch it out and make it look laid-back and smooth!Seducer
Stall, then slide your legs apart and snap them back together before you roll back into the ramp. Simple, stylish, and super fun to watch.Staple Gun
Roll your front foot up onto the deck while keeping your back leg locked on the coping (or using your toe stop in the transition). Push off that back foot to boost yourself back into the ramp—this time re-entering fakie (rolling backward).
WHERE ARE WE?
Rolling into mile 2,170, we’re hitting Church Rock, New Mexico. You’ve earned a Blake’s Lotaburger. Just imbibe with caution. Back in the 1970’s there was a massive radioactive waste spill just outside of town, but you’re probably fine.
DEVO HAS DROPPED
We’re already 5 days into our 20-day spiritual devotional. If you haven’t jumped in yet, it’s not too late—there’s still time to add a layer of spiritual fitness to your physical grind. Keep pushing, stay relentless, and let’s make these days count as we move toward Easter.
GET YOUR R2800 MERCH
If you finished (or you need some inspiration to finish) grab some sweet merch!
SHOUT OUTS (INTERNATIONAL VERSION)
Jamie from down under. How does one travel from NYC to LA while never leaving Australia? Just ask Jamie. He is killing it with The Second Halfers. Krykee!
Peter, repping Belfast, has probably crossed his county once (maybe even twice!) to rack up his miles. Way to go!
Fun fact: If we did this challenge across Ireland, east to west, your team would have to cross the country 16 times to finish the IRELAND2800.
Justin in Canada. You are killing it, EH! Thanks for joining us and helping carry Next Level to the finish.
Keep it up all!
Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint.
