ABOUT US

Envisioned by Balaka Biswas, a well-wisher and active partner of Braindrops, roller-skating started as a fun based extra curricular activity that soon enthralled kids and grown-ups equally. 

This resulted in the formation of a registered club, by eminent members, under the Society Act by the name of Fun-on-wheels, Braindrops - the first of its kind in West Bengal that provides guidance in Skating.

Today, after training over a hundred participants, we are in a position to grow and dare to have a vision -a vision to make a social impact by popularising this captivating sport among the interested.

Interactive secondary education, Computer awareness, Roller-skating, Western Dance, Spoken English, Drawing courses are some of the diverse activities Fun-on-wheels can boast of today.

Our constant endeavour to grow and provide the best exposure to the students have allowed our participants to perform at Swabhumi and win prizes at a National Level competitions. Such achievements have helped us to strengthened our believe that we are on the right track.

So, now as we stand at this point, a certain question arises as to what we have to offer within the next few years ? 

Well, for a start, we are planning on the following endeavors:


To help the skaters learn and practice at their own pace, we are in the process of preparing a bigger and better rink of national standard. The rink is expected to be available within few  months.

To provide guidance in the art of roller-skating we are organizing camps and regular classes to be held by renowned National Skaters. There are plans to bring in International Skaters to share their experiences and provide expertise.

To organize camps for artistic skating regularly.

In a genuine attempt to be the best and fore runner in popularising the roller-skating experience in Kolkata and West Bengal in a structured and unbiased way, we call upon all enthusiasts and sports lovers for their support and guidance.

Roller skating is equivalent to jogging in terms of health benefits, calorie burning, reduction of body fat and leg strength development. 


Just one hour of moderate roller skating (6 mph) burns 330 calories for a 143-pound person. If that same person skates vigorously (10 mph), he or she will burn up to 590 calories an hour! 


According to a study at the University of Massachusetts, in-line skating causes less than 50 percent of the impact shock to joint compared to running.

While roller skating is an effective low-impact aerobic exercise, many athletes also point to skating as a strength exercise.
