Ready to roll? This one-time, 50-minute introductory session is where every great inline skating journey begins. We'll fast-track you from "Huh?" to "Whee!"
🛼 What You'll Master (The FUN-damentals):
Gear Up: Essential knowledge on the 5 key items (skates, helmet, knee, elbow, and wrist protection) and how to use them correctly. Safety first, folks!
Balance & Safety: Learn to find your center, master those crucial break-falls, and get the essential safety knowledge to skate with confidence.
The Power Stance (Knees Bend): We'll tackle the beginner's curse—straight legs! Learn to bend your knees, lean forward, and keep a low posture to secure your balance and prevent those easy backward tumbles. Focus on the bend; your knees are your secret weapon.
Weight Shift: Once you find your balance point (centre of gravity), we teach you the rhythm of the roll: how to continuously and effectively transfer your weight from left leg to right leg and vice versa. Remember to keep those knees bent!
The First Move (Basic Stride): Get rolling with your basic stride—the foundation for all future skate wizardry.
V-Walks: You'll start with the V-stance, performing a series of side-to-side weight shifts we call 'V-walks' (think little penguins getting their momentum!).
The Glide: After your V-walks, you'll set your feet into the parallel No. 11 stance. This is the magical cruise moment—gliding freely as if you've entered a space without gravity.
The Logistics (The Not-So-Fun-But-Necessary Stuff):
Duration: 50 minutes of focused fun.
Fee: $40 per person.
Need Gear? Rental service is available for the first session only: +$10 per person.
COVID-19 Note: We strongly recommend you bring your own equipment for safety, but our rental gear is available for this introductory class before you join a regular Group session.
What to Bring:
Sports attire (something you can move in, not your Sunday best).
Water bottle/drinking water (you'll earn it!).
What's Next?
After this session, we'll chat about your progress and figure out the perfect regular group schedule for you to keep the good times (and good form) rolling.
