First timers

Beginners welcome

Every pro started as a beginner. Here's everything you need for your first roller disco.
  • What to wear

    Comfy clothes you can move in and long socks. Leggings or jeans protect knees.

  • What to bring

    Your own skates if you have them, a helmet or knee pads if you like. Wrist guards are free.

  • Your first lap

    Bend your knees, look ahead, small duck-feet steps. Hold the wall, everyone does.

  • Falling is fine

    Fall forward or to the side, hands out with wrist guards on. Get up via one knee.

  • Ask for help

    Teaching is free. Grab any of our team and we'll get you rolling.
