3 ways to turn in 2 hours
Once you've mastered the A-frame turn you'll want to quickly move onto something a little more stylish.
We'll be teaching parallel turn, lunge turns, and forward crossover, all far more effective and professional looking than the beginner turn.
The next course takes place on Saturday 24 May 2008, from 10:30 to 12:30, at The Royal Albert Memorial and costs only £40.00 per person.

Skills Being Taught
Here is a list of the skills we'll be teaching on this course. It might not be a complete list as some of the skills could be special, so you want to check the course description carefully.
- Parallel turn
- A turn that uses a scissor stance with most of the weight on the back foot. More efficient that the A-Frame turn and it looks cool too.
- Lunge turns
- A parallel turn at speed. As you get used to going faster you will find that sometimes you are going a bit to quick to get round a corner in a parallel turn and you have to slow down. This is a great turn and very stable at speed.
- Forward crossover
- A turn that will maintain speed or even increase your speed if you apply the correct technique with an under push. This skill is learnt by going round in circles and we teach this in eight different parts. This is one of Mark's favorite things to teach and he often holds one hour drop in crossover sessions.
Skills Required
- Scissor stance
- Probably one of the most important things you will ever learn in skating. This is the bit that is going to keep you on your feet and off your bottom, and it's the foundation skill for most of the inline skating skills. Not to mention really useful for street skating and performing advanced turns and stops.
- Heel brake stop
- A stop by using the rubber stopper on the back of the skates. This IS the most effective and powerful way to stop.
- A-Frame turn
- An easy to learn maneuver to get you turning. Otherwise known as the "magic turn" and really easy to learn. The ready position is a base skill for this skill.
