You will soon progress onto turning, speed and fitness skating and dealing with slopes, downhill and emergency stops. Your final week takes you on a tour of Hyde Park so that you have the skills to get around and deal with different surfaces, slopes and obstacles.

Dates:

Course H - Saturdays 12-2pm
Week 1 - 12th July
Week 2 - 19th July
Week 3 - 26th July

You will need
1. Skates (recreational skates with a heel brake). Please do not come to class wearing old style plastic skates with buckles and wheels that dont roll. If youhave these skates please hire another pair and bring with you, as plastic skates are notdesigned to roll!
2. Padding (knee and wrist) - helmets are optional but recommended.
3. To be padded up and ready to skate by the beginning of the class time (this takes usually 10-15 minutes and is not part of the lesson).

The course was fantastic. I can’t believe that I have learned so much in such a relatively short time. Having never been on inline skates before the course, I imagine it would have taken months, if not years, to get to where I am already, (and it probably would have been a lot more painful on my own!). I can, without a shadow of doubt, say that this is the best thing I’ve done in a long time.” Paul

After completing one of these 3 week courses the obvious next step would be to do our 3 week Improver’s course and/or ‘Intro to Stroll’ class to prepare you to skate the mass street skate The Sunday Stroll. To get the speed and fitness for this, try SkateFit. You could also progress onto Intermediate skills (Show-Offs) workshops.

If you have to miss a lesson in your 3 week course then it is your resposibility to have a ‘catch up’ private lesson before your next class. Ideally do this with one of the instrcutors teaching your course and call them directly to organise this. If you fail to do this you will not be able to ‘tranfer’ your remaining course fees onto other classes.
