Ok, so you're up and off. Well done! You can skate forward, turn in both directions and stop to order.
Lesson 3 is designed for you to try out more advanced techniques. This is where you really start to look like you can skate.
But we can't say it enough - you need to practice, practice, practice. If you want to pile on the style you need to put some miles on the clock.
Our Skate Fit sessions give you a great environment in which to practice and really master your new skills.
It's much more fun doing drills in a group and reassuring to meet other skaters rolling along the same learning curve.
-
One Foot Glide
All that scooting and toe-rolling starts to pay off and start to get some air under your wheels.

'T' Stops
Once you've really mastered balancing on one leg you're ready to learn a third way to stop.
-
Backwards
It's a big subject this - but we're going to give you a feel for it and some exercises to keep going on with.
-
Grass Stops
Useful for bailing out - grass stops are cool move that occasionally proves very handy.

Kerb handling
Even handier. A mini masterclass in getting on and off of pavements safely.
There's loads more to learn - Skate Fit sessions will keep you up to speed and throughout the season we'll be running specialist programmes to develop your skills.
