About the event
🛼 STREET CONFIDENCE: 3-Week Outdoor Skating Journey 🌳
Outdoor skating is truly wonderful and freeing! The feeling of the wind in your face and the sun on your back as you cruise down the street is unmatched.
Of course, you also need to be very prepared. Mastering stops, controlling your speed, dealing with obstacles, street furniture, pedestrians, carrying a bag and more. We will cover everything you need to unlock the world of outdoor skating - quickly.
Detailed Workshop Breakdown:
Please note that these workshops will be repeated. It is unlikely you will be able to confidently book on 3 in a row. Instead we suggest you work on the Level you are at, and focus on feeling more confident at that level, by mastering the skills and techniques we show. Return for the next level when you're ready.
Week 1: First Steps Outside (Level 2-3)
Master the fundamentals of outdoor skating in a controlled environment. We'll cover surface reading, outdoor stopping techniques, and essential safety skills that'll set you up for success. Get comfortable with different terrain and learn how to handle various outdoor surfaces.
Week 2: Exploring New Horizons (Level 3)
Time to level up! We'll venture into different outdoor spaces, teaching you how to navigate obstacles, manage varying surfaces, and build your confidence in new environments. Practice group skating etiquette and learn to handle unexpected situations with ease.
Week 3: Conquering the Hills (Level 4)
Face your fears and master elevation changes! Learn uphill and downhill techniques, advanced stopping methods, and speed control. By the end of this session, you'll have the skills and confidence to tackle most urban terrain.
