Skate Week San Francisco, a six-day celebration of roller and inline skating kicks off Tuesday night, and there's lots to do.

Why it matters: The event celebrates 45 years since the birth of the Golden Gate Park Skate Patrol, which prevented the activity from being banned in the park.

What's next: Brush off your skates and get ready to roll at Church of 8 Wheels Golden Gate, located in the Presidio.

And if you don't know how to skate or simply want to brush up on your skills, you can learn from the best on Thursday at noon.
