Have you done our Beginner class and are ready for more progress?
What Will You Learn?
- Consolidate the basics You can already move about on wheels but we’ll revise the basic stride and make sure your Heel Brake Stop (inliners) or Toe Stop (quads) works properly.
- Improve your stride technique so you gain fitness from your skates.
- Stopping techniques (that actually work!)
- One legged gliding techniques to improve your agility and balance.
- Acceleration and faster skating.
- Parallel turn in both directions.
If you are self-taught and need some structure, this class will inform your practice in a way that ensures continued progress.

We recommend taking this class several times and continue to improve your skills until you are ready to progress to Intermediate classes.

Adult Stops, Slides & Slopes Group Skate Lessons
Location: Madeira Drive
(eastern end of Madeira Drive) https://what3words.com/types.result.yoga
Duration: 1.5hrs
Suitable for inline or quad/roller skaters
These special workshops will help to prepare you for the summer street skating season in Brighton. Unless you can control your speed and stop completely on down hill slopes, you should not be participating on mass group skates.
This workshop is suitable for inline and quad skaters and will use both flat areas and a downhill slope to train your methods. The following straight line stops will be taught and polished and then used on the slope.
- T-Stop + Toe Stop Drag (quaddies)
- Plough Stop + Stepping Plough Stop
- Powerslide (inlines) + Back Toe Stop (quaddies)
When taking these stops to the slope, you’ll discover whether they are fluent enough to stop you in a controlled and structured environment and give you an accurate assessment of your safety on slopes.

Adult Speed & Fitness Group Skate Lessons
Location: Madeira Drive
(eastern end of Madeira Drive) https://what3words.com/types.result.yoga
Duration: 1.5hrs
Suitable for inline or quad/roller skaters
Every skater spends MOST of their time on skates JUST SKATING! However, if your skating stride lacks fundamental technique, you will not get the fitness benefits that skating offers and you may even create bad habits over time that can lead to ‘slow onset injuries’ particularly if you skate distances (e.g. ankle, knee, hip pains from persistent pronation on an inside edge). What you’ll learn;
- An efficient push.
- A correct, comfortable glide, in terms of edges, balance and cadence.
- A regroup that maximises your stride (and not destroy all the hard work you just put in).
- The Stride Training Sequence. The drill to keep you on track for months/years to come.
This workshop does not cover the Double Push (although most skaters fail with the double push because their normal fitness stride lacks the correct foundations). This class is an essential prerequisite for the Double Push workshop.
PLEASE NOTE: This group lesson is appropriate for every level of skater except beginners.
