The most important of ALL skills on inline & roller skates is how to stop and every skater should have several, high functioning stopping methods in their repertoire (to avoid accidents and injuries).

What you'll learn;

• Plough Stop (2 versions)
• T-Stop (so that it actually stops you)
• Turn Stops (various options)
• Soul Slide (the ‘forwards powerslide, used by the downhillers for a reason).
• Powerslide (from a forwards entry using your favourite transition and favourite sliding leg)
• Powerstop (or Turn stop variations)
• 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.

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.

This 3 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.

PLEASE NOTE: This class has been rescheduled from 0900-1200

Jumps are a challenge because ‘the fear’ is real and your body knows one mistake could mean a painful landing. This class will help you understand why jumps are potentially dangerous and then exactly how to make them safe, each and every time.

In this class you will learn;

• Safe take-off and landing technique
• Forward to Forwards Jumps: High + Long jumps.
• Forward to Backwards Jumps; Two-footed + jumped mohawk.
• Backwards to Forwards Jumps; Two-footed.

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 group lesson is not appropriate for beginner level skaters.

This Wizard class is a natural continuation from our Backwards & Transitions class and looks at developing your backwards skating so you can transition multiple ways with confidence & link together skills for impressive looking Wizard flows.

You can do this workshop on a flat set up or a rockered Wizard set up. Suitable only for inline skaters.

What you'll learn:

• 4 essential training positions for backwards success
• Gazelles (forwards & backwards)
• Assisted 3 Turns (Cheetahs) - preparation for 3 Turns (Lions)
• How to safely increase the speed of your Mohawk transitions

The best preparation for this class is to attend our Backwards & Transitions lesson to ensure you haven’t skipped any foundation skills.
