Skill levels
Before we begin, we have to first determine your ability level as a skater. We break down students 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 we organize events. This helps our organizers making events for people with similar ability levels and makes sure that everyone gets the most out of their event.
By charting a proper learning progression for our riders, we ensure that our students do not miss out on any fundamentals skills.
