This session of Raw Meat, we’re going to take a look at good roller skating form. If you are a beginner, we’ll go over tips and tricks to help you skate with good form right from the beginning. If you are an experienced skater, you’ll feel the burn.
What you’ll learn at Raw Meat Vancouver Roller Skating:
We’ll cover stops, falls, agility drills, skating form, roller skating in proximity with others, a few fun tricks, and some (non-contact) roller derby strategy drills.
All levels of roller skater, including beginners, are welcome.
What to bring:
You must have roller skates, and all safety gear: knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, helmet, and mouth guard. The venue also requires everyone to use white or light-coloured, non-marking toe stoppers. If your knee pads are black, please cover them with white, non-marking hockey tape. Vertical strips of tape work best.
The rules:
Raw Meat has two rules: 1. Be Safe, 2. Don’t be an asshat. All sessions are non-contact.
