LondonSkaters Freestyle Club: Slalom Academy

Slalom instruction from Beginner to Show-off

 

The LondonSkaters Freestyle Club (LSFC) are delighted to announce that they intend to exploit the final 6 months of having Kim Taehong (AKA: Theo), the coach of the Korean ‘No-Break’ slalom team’s Slalom Academy, living in London…

Clearly he does a better job than Naomi, because Kim SungJin, the guy that beats all others, is from his team… so, if you’ve ever wanted to be able to slither through cones like a hot knife through butter, with the beauty & fluidity of the Korean slalomers, this is where you want to be each weekend afternoon, so you can follow the No-Break program of learning slalom.

So, what’s the program?

Instead of running intensive learning, these sessions will be spread out to allow more time for each skill to sink in – you will learn in 90 minute sessions, weekend afternoons.

The initial pilot of the Slalom Academy will last 10 sessions, after which it will no doubt be extended due to heavy demand, and threats of dire action if we don’t continue. I say ‘we’ because although Theo will be running the Academy, Naomi may be required to provide additional support from time to time due to the intimidatingly high level of attendance.

The sessions will be Saturdays & Sundays 2pm until 3.30pm on Serpentine Road in Hyde Park, starting from 23/24 Feb, running until 29/30 March (22 March weekend we’re probably all going to Battle Moscow), and are suitable for those who have never slalomed before, right up to international competition standard.

If it rains, the session will be postponed, and the initial pilot will run into April.

The damage:

Like all the best mobile network providers that we like to model ourselves on, we have two price plans that you can opt for. You can pay-as-you-go for just £10/session, or you can buy into the program at the bargain price of £80 for 10 sessions, which includes complimentary membership to the LondonSkaters Freestyle Club and the UK Freestyle Skating Association.

If you buy 10 sessions, and you can’t make one of them, you need not worry, as the sessions will continue on at, at worst, a less frequent basis beyond the pilot program.
