Eastbourne Roller Discos and other Summer Skate Events
11/06/2010 by tim.
Eastbourne Skate School is running at least one major skating event each month through the year and this Summer is no exception!
June is already off to a good start with the Redoubt Roller - Eastbourne Outdoor Summer Roller Disco on the 12th.
Straight after that is the Hailsham Carnival and then the annual Roller Boat Race.
As we move into July there is Eastbourne Extreme - which will have proper Sk8school representation this year. We’ll also be organising a trip to Brighton Skate Trip.
Of course this doesnt affect all our usual events and lessons that run each week as usual!

Safety is not negotiable! - By Mark Davies
04/05/2010 by tim.
The most important thing to remember is that protective gear is
totally NOT something you can afford to be slack about. To say you
don't want to wear a helmet because it messes up you hair or pads
because it doesn't look cool is just stupid.. All safety equipment
which includes knee pads, wrist pads, elbow pads and a helmet should
be worn at all times and should be purchased new to ensure that is had
not been compromised by previous use. No one can afford to overlook
quality in this area of equipment, especially for outdoor inline
skating activities. Please remember, it is very important to wear all
of the pieces of equipment I've listed here to get adequate protection.
Choose dependable protective equipment from a reputable seller. Club
Blue Room, London is one of the best places to buy safety equipment
from in the UK in my opinion.
Get started at the top with a good helmet that is suitable for inline
skating activities. Your ANSI, ASTM, or Snell approved helmet should
fit the head and have working straps. Your skating helmet should be
tightly buckled.
Knee pads that are the correct size and securely fastened will help
absorb impacts and prevent cuts and grazes from falling and sliding on
rough surfaces.
Elbow pads are needed for for impact or abrasion protection during a
fall to either side.
Wrist protectors or skate gloves with built-in wrist guards with hard
plastic linings or metal splints are needed in case either wrist makes
contact with the pavement during a fall.
I have a simple safety and teaching model: If you feel safe you'll
have more fun and you'll learn faster. Besides, if you want to learn
from one of the UK's highest ICP instructors, Me! I absolutly insist
on you you being as safe as I can possibly make you at all time and
won't compromise you being as safe as I can possibly make you!

Mastering Stopping and Backwards - Get it Right!
28/03/2010 by tim.
Sample a Quality Skate Lesson with Eastbourne’s most qualified and experienced instructors on Tuesday night at 8pm Shinewater. Looking for advanced stopping moves or skating backwards? Then make sure you are taught by the only instructors in Eastbourne qualified and therefore insured to teach them!
Sk8school is all about Safety, Fun and Learning, which is why SK8school instructors have the best safety record in Eastbourne. Instructors only qualified to teach beginners skills will rapidly be out of their depth and beyond their experience when teaching advanced moves like power-slides and transitions. Don’t put yourself at risk by letting lesser instructors learn on you!
Make sure your skate instructor is a SK8school instructor - because you are worth it!
