The majority of skaters do not realise that by neglecting their stopping methods they not only increase their risks of falls and injuries but also reduce their learning of other skills such as speed skating, crossovers and street skating.

What you’ll learn;

• Plough Stop (2 versions)
• T-Stop (so that it actually stops you)
• Turn Stops (various options – prerequisite for Powerstop)
• Combinations of these stops so they work from your highest speeds and on slopes.

This 2 hr workshop is NOT suitable for beginners, who should focus 100% on mastering the Heel Brake Stop or Toe Stop Drag before any other methods.

$45.00 USD – approx. 65 Aus$

What you’ll learn;

• Several backward propulsion techniques
• How to steer correctly backwards
• How to safely glide backwards
• How to stop backwards (2 methods)
• Mohawk Transitions (forwards to backwards and backwards to forwards – stepped and hopped versions).

PLEASE NOTE: This lesson is NOT appropriate for beginner level skaters.

• 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 class transformed my skating. I never knew how many things I was doing wrong. Feels great to be on the right path now and I understand what a workout skating should be if you’re doing it right.”
– Analise (46) Belgium

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.

$45.00 USD – approx. 65 Aus$

What you’ll learn;

• Safe take-off and landing technique
• Forward to Forwards Jumps: Normal, High + Long jumps.
• Forward to Backwards Jumps; Two-footed + jumped mohawk.
• Backwards to Forwards Jumps; Two-footed.
• Forward Crossovers drills for perfect corners.

If you do not skate backwards you do not have to learn the backward jumps versions but can perfect the forward options instead;

Forward Crossovers when done well should create smooth acceleration and admiring glances. But often they create anxiety and have a low(ish) upper speed limit. Make your weaker side feel a lot less strange.

PLEASE NOTE: This lesson is not appropriate for beginner level skaters.

What you’ll learn;

• Powerslide (from a forwards entry using your favourite transition and favourite sliding leg)
• Soul Slide (the ‘forwards powerslide, used by the downhillers for a reason).
• Powerstop (or Turn stop variations)
• Magic Slide (for those with a successful pre-requisite Soul Slide)
• How to control your speed (for future use on slopes) by combining different stopping skills and how to come to a complete stop in an emergency.

$45.00 USD – approx. 65 Aus$

What you’ll learn;

• 4 essential training positions for backwards success
• Backwards Turns (for Gazelle entry & exits)
• Gazelles (forwards & backwards)
• Assisted 3 Turns & 3 Turns (Cheetahs & Lions)

The best preparation for this class is to attend our Backwards & Transitions workshop to ensure you haven’t skipped any foundation skills (and increase the speed/fluency of your backwards & transitions).
