Corporate Skate Events
12/01/2010 by tim.
The Eastbourne Skate School - Sk8school is often asked to provide services for skate events and corporate training days, team building exercises and unique office parties. Here’s a typical itinerary for a 4 hour team building event. We can tailor everything to your requirements and provide music and entertainment on any scale with our huge skate hire and DJ facilities.
Set up (30 minutes)
Set-up venue with hire skates and safety equipment, sound system and other miscellaneous sports equipment etc. approximately half an hour before clients arrive on site.
Introduction (15 minutes)
Brief safety talk to identify evacuation procedure, first aid, areas of special interest in the environment (EG. Where the toilets are, any particular hazards at the venue and any special venue rules – skating in corridors etc.).
Talk to include the skates and safety equipment and to identify any people in need of special considerations (partially sighted, injury history, asthma etc.).
Simple warm up for the group and Learning “Balance Points”
Split group between instructors, probably in order of candidates presumed capability. Note minimum instructor numbers for 60 people is 3, giving groups of 20 each.
Gear up (15 minutes)
Ensure all participants are correctly geared up to begin their coaching.
Equipment check for all 60 people.
Lessons (1 hour including a short break)
All candidates will learn correct basics, including terminology, basic positions and correct method of falling.
Basics include beginner movement (stride1) beginner stopping (heel brake) and beginner turns (A Frame turn).
Classes with a higher average experience will naturally learn more advanced moves as well.
Various demo’s will be given by the instructors. Everything from artistic dance moves to speed skating and slalom.
Its a Knockout! (1 hour including a short break)
Various games for teams and individuals, initially focusing on skills learnt in the lessons and gradually building up to more individual and artistic pursuits including artistic and freestyle skate dance and skate dancercise.
*Games such as obstacle races, assault courses, limbo dancing (on skates), pursuit racing, various games of tag etc.
*Dancercise – think line dancing meets aerobics on skates!
Roller Disco (1 hour)
A nice relaxing roller disco with occasional games and dancing for those with the energy.
Skates off/ Clear away (30 minutes)
If you would like further information on Corporate skate events please contact us.
Ride n Joy invites Eastbourne Skate School and the Sk8 M8s to its end of year special.
23/12/2009 by tim.
It was a cold day - but worth it…
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
01/12/2009 by tim.
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.
The best coaching classes for Eastbourne skaters - last one of 2009 on Tuesday 1st December
30/11/2009 by tim.
Skate Dancercise is much more than a dance class. It’s developed into full skate coaching for all the really advanced moves, skate fit and dance all rolled into one.
Its a very challenging session whether you are a beginner or expert.
For the last session of the year we are going to “flow” some of the moves we’ve been working on in the coaching sessions. This time focusing on the Reverse Toe Pivot and the Pivot turn and 3 turn.
In short we’ll go from this:

To this :
And repeat…
Check out the video on the facebook fan page and come along on Tuesday to be taught how to do it!

Eastbourne Skaters go rock climbing - as the weather is so bad…
23/11/2009 by tim.
Every couple of weeks Sk8school and the Sk8 M8s organise trips and events for our Eastbourne Skaters, as the weather has been so bad - and we’re still arranging the skating laser quest experience, so rock climbing was the next choice.
Once we’ve done that, there will be a racing experience at Trax Leisure, Ice Skating Trips and of course Southwick and Peacehaven.
