Ride n Joy invites Eastbourne Skate School and the Sk8 M8s to its end of year special.

It was a cold day - but worth it…

Ride n Joy end of year special.

Pauline and Dave produced hot mulled wine and various snacks and refreshments in the last two weekends leading up to Christmas. There were even blankets to help fend off the cold.

We’ll be joining Ride n Joy once again in April when we start all the Eastbourne skate lessons at the Cage, right next to their hut.

See you there.

How to stop on skates - the most requested skate lesson in Eastbourne

Sk8school teaches about 20 different methods of stopping on skates and it all starts with the Heel Brake stop. You can get this lesson pretty much any Sunday morning of the year. Just check the Sk8school website or contact one of the instructors. The usual beginners skate lesson covers standing up, falling, going, stopping and turning.

We can get most people to do this in about an hour and we have skate hire too.

If you want all the stopping methods in one go - and have reached intermediate level - then try the Mastering Stopping Course. A 3 hour intensive class that covers everything there is to know about stopping on skates in one lesson!

So if there’s anything you need to know about skating in Eastbourne check out the Sk8school website the best resource for Eastbourne skaters.
