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

rental skates; you can then pay your deposit (usually half your course
fee) by debit or credit card. Your transaction is handled by Worldpay
and is 100% secure.
Format
Each evening session will be divided into four groups with one instructor
per group (plus an extra 'floating' instructor). 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.
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. NEW to this class is skate4ski which aims to get you in shape
for the Ski holiday: attitude before altitude! The class features: advanced
level tricks, slalom and, the real reason we all skate, exhibition stuff!
