Speed Coach Robb Dunn is Still Rockin' and Rollin'

He lives surrounded by roller sports, and in the sport of Inline Speed Skating, Robb Dunn has enjoyed World Championship and World Cup success with many athletes. Dunn is a former World Speed Team Coach and was a successful competitor on roller skates several decades ago, when he was part of the United States World Team. He was U.S. Coach of the Year in 1988, and is now a member of both the Athlete and Coach’s Hall of Fame at the Roller Skating Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska.

In 2005 Coach Robb Dunn retired after 20 years of competitive coaching. But, he is still active at major events and provides workshops and seminars for inline speed skaters and coaches around the United States. Robb has done a lot for inline speed skating and roller sports in the United States and continues to contribute to existing and new roller sports disciplines.

Robb skated in an era when artistic skating, speed skating and fun skating were all part of the same package, so I was not a bit surprised to find him rolling at a Riverside Arena derby girls practice to help our roller derby team develop better speed and maneuvering skills. It was also no surprise to see that he still skates great.
