Beginner to Improver skaters

Beginners to Intermediate Skate Course - Find your skate level!

Almost Everyone feels nervous and apprehensive when they first put on a pair of Rollerblade's. We specialise in putting you at ease and getting you skating quickly as well as having loads of fun at the same time!

If you are a beginner and can't stand up on your skates yet, if you can't stop, or if you are a more advanced skater and want to learn some cool stuff, you have come to the right place to learn from one of the UK's highest qualified ICP instructors.

 

Level 1 - Get starting and stopping on your skates

There's also something rather cool at the end of the lesson, but we'll tell you about that on the lesson...

Sunday Skate Club

Location: 
Kensington Gardens

Sunday Skate Club is all about getting together and practising with other skaters at the same level as you and to make progressing less challenging as well as loads of fun. The park can often be an intimidating place to come to with so many good skaters around, and so many spectators, especially in the summer months.

It's lead by ICP Level 3, Master Instructor Mark Davies who will be on hand to answer any of your questions, help you with your skills and whatever you're practising. Mark is also in the habit of throwing in some other cool stuff into these sessions.

Get your skates on and have an amazing start to the day!

Ditch the packed tube, late buses and traffic jams, get you skates on and skate to work.

This is a great way to meet new people, have lots of fun and discover one of the best ways to get around any city. You will feel good and the exercise will do you good. It may do you so much good you may like a little longer!

You are happy skating around the park, doing a bit of stopping and turning but now it's time to get out on the street for the real stuff.

We are running an amazing course which covers all the skills you need to use your skates as transport.

They are two really great skills for any skater especially if you do any of London's street skates or use your skate to go pretty much anywhere, they are also two really great skills for hockey players.

The Lunge turn is essentially a Parallel Turn but you don't have to slow down so much to do it. In-fact it's exactly that, a speed turn.
