The Gifu Nawagawara Cup attracted over 2000 skaters for a full day of skating fun and festivities on Saturday, October 30, 1999

Skaters came out en masse for hockey, slalom, dancing, racing, and a costume roll. Two skaters even showed up in their Sunday best fully intending to get married, which occurred in very public fashion to the delight of everybody in attendance.

Jeanne Fleming from New York City wowed the crowd with her slalom skills, and Eddy Matzger from Berkeley, CA, kept the skaters on their toes with his unpredictable attire and racing style.

Three days later skaters did it again at the Toshimaien amusement park in Tokyo, where inliners took over three gigantic empty swimming pools, including one 300 meter roundabout pool in which races were held.
