05 · Skating tips & safety
New to skating? No problem!
Just starting out? Here's how to get rolling and our friendly team is always on hand for extra help and guidance.
- 1
Start slow
Take your time to find your balance before picking up speed.
- 2
Bend your knees
A slight crouch gives you far more stability and control.
- 3
Keep moving
Standing still actually makes balancing harder so keep rolling.
- 4
Wear safety gear
Helmets, wrist guards, knee and elbow pads are free to use so grab some.
- 5
Use the rink walls
Hold onto the sides for support until you find your confidence.
