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.

Start your inline skating journey by figuring out what level of skater you are to match your level.
