London

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...

Being able to stop on Rollerblades is an essential part of skating and it can be really scary when you don't know how!!!
The Heel Brake Stop has to be without doubt one of the most effective ways to stop and one of the easiest stops for a beginner to learn, it's also an awesome way to stop for any skater no matter what their skill level and when combined with a more advanced stop call the T-Stop it's pure stopping power on skates!
There are many other ways to stop and often really effective when you can combine more than one way to stop into one move. However, for the purpose of this article and your safety we are just going to be looking at the heel brake stop.
Every Sunday, at 3:30pm, skateinstructor.com runs a 1 hour follow-on session that leads on from our Sunday Beginners session.
Whilst this is intended to teach you turns and how to get on-and-off pavements, it can also be used as a further hour for learning the skills from the Sunday Beginners session if you are struggling (we physically split the group if this is necessary). If you don't want to do this session on the same day you can return whenever you like.
