Inline skating lessons throughout London and the UK

Private lessons give you freedom to choose the time, place and the pace of your skating. We specialise in
beginners but can also instruct on more advanced technique: speed, freestyle and slalom being three areas.

With Citiskate you are getting not just excellent tuition but we are responsible for setting the industry standard
as our instructors currently dictate what the UK Inline Skating Association (UKISA) include in their instructor
certification programs. We think that defines cutting edge.

This technical expertise does not distract us from the important stuff: finding out what you want. Whether you
are a first timer, a seasonal skater or have the bigger ambition of doing a Rollerstroll or Friday Night Skate we
can set a program to help you achieve your aims. Speak to your instructor and tell them what you want to do
- they will show you how.

By the way, most of our instructors are either founding members or regularly marshal the three year-round London
street skates so there is no one better placed to tell you what you need to successfully complete these events.
All you need to do is turn up with a willingness to learn and have fun!

We also run scheduled group lessons in covered venues

- balance
- turning

- backward skating
- Crossovers

Advanced
- Speed technique
- Street technique
- Emergency stopping
- Jumps
- side surfing

Further training
Take a look at the levels section. What is a 'Grapevine'
anyway? Push yourself further than just a 3, 4 or 5. Better still, take a lesson
in the fine art of street skating.


Try a group Lesson

If you are looking to become competent in the least time a private lesson is a quick way - but it may not be
the best. Consider our group lessons in London at one of several venues. Learning with a group gives your
skating a much more rewarding experience and our research has shown those that do a course tend to stick
with skating in the long run as you will meet like minded skater-heads from varying backgrounds (who also
fall over a lot!)
