Edges, Transitions & Back Skating Course

Pre-requisite: You must be able to skate forwards comfortably [with good balance and control]. You'll also need a basic level of backwards skating e.g be able to skate backwards for five metres or more! Consider taking the Core Skills course if you'd like an introduction to back skating and transitions.

Advance your roller skating technique with drills and skills to improve your control and overall enjoyment! 

We’ll cover:

✅ Single leg balancing & slalom drills

✅ Inside and outside edge control [controlling your swerve]

✅ Exploring basic to advanced transitions

✅ Linking transitions to explore creative flow [both forwards & backwards]

✅ Basic back skating skills & drills [including lemons, cross overs and ways to vary backwards flow]

✅ Advanced back skating techniques & drills [including chopping & shuffling]

✅ Backwards stops [including backwards plows, pibits and T-stops]

 Note: This course is for 16+ students.

Together, we'll work towards advancing your balance, control, back skating technique, confidence and style. Students are encouraged to move through the course at a pace that suits their personal learning style.
