Skill levels

Before we begin, we have to first determine your ability level as a skater. We break down skaters into four ability levels based on their skills, confidence and how well they ride.

Figuring out your ability level is a key part of how to organize events. This helps organizers making events for people with similar ability levels and makes sure that everyone gets the most out of their event.
