Bel Jacobs, METRO NEWSPAPER


I would never have started roller blading seriously if I did
not attend the course. A definite must for all beginners.
Mr J. duPlooy



CITISKATE TOOK ME FROM LEVEL 1 ("Stopping methods
include pedestrians, skin loss and gravity" ) TO A LEVEL 4
("basic cheekiness and arrogance "). THE INSTRUCTORS
WERE PATIENT AND APPROACHABLE TO THE POINT
THAT I HAVE SIGNED UP FOR A SECOND COURSE
FEATURING.SLALOM AND THE BARREL ROLL...
BRING IT ON!

Format

Each evening session will be divided into four groups with one instructor per group (plus an extra 'floating' instructor in the beginners group). So a total of FIVE qualified instructors. No one else in the UK offers this! This also allows friends of differing ability level to sign up to the same class. The 'levels' are:
Absolute beginners,
post-beginners,
lower-intermediates
and upper-intermediates:


LEVEL 1
As an absolute beginner you will learn correct skate set-up and falling(!), how to get up (very useful!), balance and basic striding (skating), stopping which includes heel braking and also the A-frame stop. Citiskate instructors are particularly dedicated to building the confidence of skaters in this group; and there will be two of them to help!


LEVEL 2
Post-beginners As above plus moves onto intermediate level stopping, turning, transitions, better and more graceful gliding as well as some beginners level tricks, some speed moves...and some backwards.


LEVEL 3
Lower-intermediate skaters As above plus skaters can also expect to cover faster striding and stopping techniques such as intermediate speed skating and the T-stop. Backward skating is comprehensively explained. Intermediate level tricks are also covered.


LEVEL 4
Upper-intermediate skaters usually have considerable skating experience and/or some ski or ice skating related knowledge. Note that this group covers everything the other three do but does so at a faster pace. The class features: advanced level tricks, slalom and, the real reason we all skate, exhibition stuff!
NOTE: This group also has a park session included; this includes speed skating, hills, drains / bad surface management and street skating!
All of which are set to get you ready for the London Friday Night Skate, Rollerstroll and Easy peasy skate




I am not sure of my level!

We decide on exact groups on the day (but please give us a rough idea on your booking form)
