Help I’m A Beginner
Don’t worry, you’re in safe hands. Learn to skate at Skatefresh where we will transform your first shaky steps into confident strides and before you know it you will be strutting your funky rollerblade stuff down Serpentine Road. All our instructors are ICP qualified and have a wide experience of teaching how to skate on different levels. You have several options as a Gumbie (skate lingo for beginner):
- Half Day Beginner class – crash course for complete beginners.
- Private Instruction - choose your skating instructor when the time suits you
We also offer Improvers 1: This is for skaters who think of themselves as Beginners. However if you can skate a bit and stop using your heel break a bit then we consider you ready for Improvers 1.
If you’re still unsure check out the ‘What level am I page’.
