Testimonial
The usual practice is for an instructor to ask for a testimonial.
This recommendation, however, is completely voluntary as I really
believe anyone considering lessons would benefit from Mike's
instruction.
Mike is not only an extremely experienced skate, he is a great
teacher too. I've been skating for about four years now, but Mike
was able to pick up on the tiniest points which dramatically
improved my skating.
Mike is experienced, patient, has a wealth of skating knowledge,
and really knows what he's talking about. On top of that, he spots
and rectifies even the tiniest problems unique to each skater,
whether you've been skating for ten years or ten minutes.
If you're a long-time skater, or completely new, a speed skater,
or out for a little recreational fun, I would highly recommend
taking lessons from Mike!

Suitable for those who can skate a little, but can't stop or turn, or those
who've not skated before. The syllabus goes as far as T-stopping and backwards,
both intermediate skills, and includes 5 different stops, two different turns, a
number of balance drills, and should see most people skating with considerably
more confidence and ability after completing the course.
Cost: £70 for the full course of 6 hours spread over 3 or 4 weeks.
Includes lesson notes and the chance to take a missed lesson from
another course. Group sizes are kept small, with other instructors brought
in as necessary to ensure high quality and plenty of personal attention.
There are regular chances to catch up any missed lessons as well, so if you can't
make one week, no problem!

Suitable for anyone who's completed a beginners course, or who can parallel turn in at least one direction:
- Intermediate weekday - Thursday 16th May 19:00-20:30 (£15)

note these are for inline skating (rollerblading) and quad skating lessons (old
school roller skating) only.
General info
The lessons are at your own risk, and they are postponed if surfaces are
wet or it's raining. This is for safety reasons - reduced traction is the
last thing you need when I'm stretching your abilities.
You must have at least wrist guards and knee pads, elbow pads are advised. Everybody falls sooner or later, even the best
skaters.
If you miss a lesson, you can take the same lesson from one of the other
courses.
