Sliding 2
Skate Lesson
Sliding 2 takes your sliding skills to the next level, refining your technique and building confidence to tackle more advanced slides. This class is designed for riders who are comfortable with basic slides and are ready to master longer, smoother, and more controlled slides.
We’ll start by fine-tuning the foundational techniques, focusing on perfecting foot placement, weight distribution, and timing. Then, we’ll introduce advanced sliding techniques such as the pendulum slide, stand-up slide variations, and learning how to slide longer distances with greater control.
A key focus of Sliding 2 is developing the confidence and control to initiate and finish slides smoothly. We’ll also work on linking slides together and incorporating them into more complex routines or downhill runs. Safety and control will be emphasized throughout the course, as sliding at higher speeds requires precision and careful technique.
By the end of Sliding 2, you’ll be able to execute longer, more controlled slides with confidence. You’ll have the skills to use sliding for more advanced maneuvers and feel comfortable tackling different types of terrain.
