Beginner to Improver skaters

Beginners to Intermediates - Find your level!

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.

 

Level 1 - Getting started

Gently does it. It’s your first lesson so we’re not going to rush around. We’ll start you off on the grass then head out onto the tarmac once you’ve got a feel for things.

We’ll be taking a close look at safety, and focusing on moving forward and stopping safely.

  • Heel brake stopping

Saturdays:   12 - 1pm.   £15 per person


Level 2 - The next steps

Once you've got the hang of starting and stopping it's time to do some proper skating. We’ll be doing some nice safe turns, trying new ways to skate forward and  putting our foot down to go just a little bit quicker.

  • Turning with A-Frame turns
  • Going a bit faster with stride 2
  • Swizzles / Lemons
  • Getting on and off pavements

Saturdays :  1.30 - 3pm.  £20 per person

 

Level 3 - Cool stuff

By now you’ll have got the hang of the basics, so it’s time to have a go at the cool stuff. We’ll be doing toe rolls, whizzy turns and some ‘show off’ stopping .  And how to skate and stop, on hills.

  • Cool turns with parallel turns
  • Spin stops
  • Dealing with hill both up and down them
  • Dealing with rough surfaces

Sunday : 2 - 3.30pm. £20 per person

 

Pricing

Save a fiver. When you pay for all three sessions in advance, it’s just £50.

On top of that you can repeat any of the sessions later on for a special reduced price. At just £5 per session  -  it’s  an affordable way to keep your skills up to speed.
