How the Sk8 M8s Breakfast Skate works...

Gather up at the cage for about 8:45am, ready for prompt departure at 9am. No surprises with the route - straight along the prom to the Holywell Cafe. Usually the skate is very relaxed and gently paced, with attendees ranging for 8 to 80 in age. (With even younger ones in push chairs!)

Regular reviews of the skates can be found on the WhealsON blog and the Sk8school Facebook Page (become a fan for full access) - the Facebook page is growing quite a selection of photos and videos from this and a host of other popular regular events and tours.

Precise, Padded and Polite... Sk8 M8's

How good at skating do I have to be?

Not very! This is a very relaxed group skate with little people in push chairs, pensioners and teenagers, whole families etc. It doesnt race about! If you are worried about the hills - there are plenty of competent Sk8 M8s to lend a hand.

Usually the route is the length of the seafront - but do check ahead in case of route or plan changes.

With the Sk8 M8s its all about being Precise, Padded and Polite. There's no tear-aways worrying other prom users! If you are looking for a speed skate - this is not the event for you!

We receommend you can at least heel brake half confidently and can manage better than Stride 1 - If you are not sure what these terms are - you need a Sk8school Beginners Lesson!

The Eastbourne Skate Mates have regular trips for breakfast. The Eastbourne Skate School Breakfast Skate - a great social skate event for your skate mates.
