Skate Streetwize Course – Saturday 19th May

Street SkatingWeather permitting we are running our first Sk8 Streetwise course of the year on Saturday 19th May, starting at the Turning Circle at 10am.

It is recommended that you have the minimum skills to fully benefit from this course.

Minimum Skills:

  • Stride 2 (Reasonable pace skating for 2 minutes)
  • Stopping with heel brake
  • Parallel turns on both sides

The class will last about 4 hours and will cover all aspects of skating outdoors. There will be an intermission for lunch at Holywell Cafe – but you’ve got to get there first! :)

This class will be ideal for anyone wanting to take part in the weekly Wednesday Night Skate, any of the Tours round Eastbourne and of course – the Treasure Hunt! Or just get about, confidently on skates, perhaps take part in the Carnival?

Cost £20 per person. Bring a drink, full pads and helmet and money for lunch.

The Treasure Hunt is coming – make sure you are Streetwize!

Eastbourne Wednesday Night Skate

Eastbourne Wednesday Night Skate

Are you ready?

Towards the end of May, we’ll be running our treasure hunt – and that means some outdoor skating – like you mean it!

Check out our Skate Streetwize Course and book your self in, so that you will be ready for everything the streets throw at you!

The Treasure hunt will cover several miles and you’ll need to be skating and looking out for clues – so being streetwize will be an advantage to you and your team! Also good for the Brighton Skate and Wednesday Night Skate or any London Street Skates!

Even if you’re not doing the Treasure Hunt the Streetwize course is a really useful addition to your skills and a must for anyone thinking of using their skates as transport!

Eastbourne Roller Disco at Hampden Park ready for another rain fueled Saturday :)

Looks like the forecast is perfect roller disco weather again this weekend! So spread the word and get your friends down to Saturdays Hampden Park at 5:15pm – we have plenty of skate hire that’s ready for some new learners! Or try Bexhill’s Roller Disco at 5:30pm :)

Remember the Lessons are now outside on Sunday Mornings at the Cage and are weather dependent so keep an eye on the skaters social network for cancellations – but as the Roller Disco is indoors (at the moment) it’s always on :)

Eastbourne Roller Disco – Whats Next?

Eastbourne Roller Disco - Saturdays 5:15pm Hampden ParkSeveral excellent turnouts to the Saturday Session of the Eastbourne Roller Disco at Hampden Park Roller Disco and people are asking can we have longer?

Well certainly a second session was always on the cards and we fully expected to introduce a second session in September/October, so to be asked for an extra session as the Summer approaches is amazing news – just when we expected to start seeing numbers tailing off!

However before we get too ahead of ourselves – lets see how our current plans unfold…

The OUTDOOR session of our Roller Disco will probably begin in May, which means that the Roller Disco will remain comfortable even if the temperatures soar!

No need to worry about being in a hot sports hall, we’re off outdoors :) … and if it happens to rain, you never need to worry about it being cancelled, we’ll simply be inside as usual.

So whatever happens to the weather, you can be sure there will be a comfortable Roller Disco every Saturday through the Summer at Hampden Park.

As for second sessions… watch this space ;)

Eastbourne Roller Disco at Hampden Park all set for another bumper turn out…

We’re all ready for another bumper turn out this weekend, with plenty of rain for the week keeping the skaters off the streets :(

Never mind, you can burn off those stored calories at Hampden Park on Saturday and while your are there marvel at the new footage on SK8school TV!

All the usual fun and games watched over by our fabulous and alert skate guard team.

Doors open at 5:15pm See you there!

Eastbourne Roller Disco Record Turn Out for Hampden Park!

Eastbourne Roller Disco - Hampden Park, By SK8schoolUsually you’d expect a roller disco to quieten down as the summer approaches, but Hampden Park seems to buck the trend, with its busiest week since opening :)

Especially surprising since the lessons and kids skate camp have now moved to Sunday morning at the cage, rather than before the disco.
