Are you ready to rock the skatepark?! Would you like to be taught and helped with the basics so you may confidently champion your own journey?🔥
Get ready for SPOAs first Quad & Inline workshop! Come learn the ins and outs of Quads at the skatepark while helping us raise money for Phase Two! Roller Skate veteran and all around rad human Christay is donating her time and knowledge to help make YOU a better park skater!
🔥
What to expect from the class & participants
- Have your own skates. Quads are my specialty, but inline is fine, too!
-Pads are HIGHLY recommended. Especially knees and wrists.
-Helmets mandatory (styrofoam bike helmets will NOT save your noggin!). I have a few spare, old helmets I am happy to loan for the class.. But I only have 4 loaners.
-You will get the most out of this if you at least have minimal skating skills: Stopping & forward motion
-Ages 15+. Younger kiddos need more one-on-one attention and encouragement (I speak from experience. I am happy to set up a private lesson that will be more accommodating to youngins, though!).
-This class will be taught in a group format. I expect everyone to at least TRY what I am instructing. If you become uncomfortable or tired, it is perfectly acceptable to remove skates and spectate/take notes. No refunds, this is a fundraiser!
What we will cover:
-skatepark etiquette, rolling down banks and roll-ins, pumping, carving; and for those ready to make the dive, dropping-in!
My qualifications✨
My skating journey began with Roller Derby back in 2007. I retired and went full-skatepark in 2015. Becoming proficient in the skatepark is still an ongoing journey, but I feel like over the years I have become quite equipped to explain and break down the skills needed to progress in the park. It’s a marathon, not a race. We all learn differently and at our own pace. My goal is to equip YOU with the tools you will need to confidently roll into any skatepark with an idea of what you enjoy.
