RinkSide :: The Skating Hub

Welcome to RinkSide, a Direct-Connect hub dedicated to figure skating. Our mission is to provide a place for fans to share and download figure skating media like videos and pictures. Currently, we have over 100GB worth of videos shared, so if you missed out on any skating events recently, you can be sure to find it on RinkSide! You'll also find rare video footage of figure skating dating all the way back to the 1950s!

And that's not everything you can do on RinkSide! We also have a chatroom, where you may rant about the latest events, gossip about your favorite skaters, or just talk about almost anything under the sun. Make new friends with fans from all over the world while waiting for all those downloads to complete!

RinkSide works on a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol known as Direct Connect (DC for short). To access RinkSide, you will need to download and install a DC client software. Full instructions are provided in the User Guide. If you're already familiar with the DC network, you can connect to the hub on:
