Welcome to Rollerblading Brisbane skate school |
|
Hi! I'm James O'Connor, a qualified and highly experienced instructor | coach with over two decades of teaching experience. I select and train instructors to make your learn-to-skate experience a fun and enjoyable one and cater for beginners (basic stopping, turns), intermediates (mastering turning - great for skiing cross-training) and advanced skaters (slalom, ramp skating, fitness, jumps, and spins). I'm originally from Sydney where we still run lessons (@ Rollerblading Sydney and Rollerskating Sydney). I founded Rollerblading.com.au at the end of 1999, actively promote inline skating cityskates, financially sponsored events and competitions. I've sponsored two competitive inline skaters (a slalom skater and a ramp skater) that I coached. I've played and been a referee in competitive roller derby, competed at National Titles for Slalom, Vert and Skate Park skating. When not teaching inline skating or rollerskating I'm a qualified STEM educator. Rollerblading Brisbane provides full equipment for lessons but we encourage you to bring your own. More about what makes me the coach that I am is available here.
Lessons are held at these venues. For recreational inline skating lessons bring your own skates OR utilise our high quality skates and protective gear. Undercover area in the event of rain. 24 hour SMS cancellation policy. Wearing helmets is compulsory. Equipment provided or bring your own. TIP: Save time by filling out our online waiver here after you have read the pricing page (including terms and conditions) and messaged (via text message) about a lesson.
About Rollerblading Brisbane learning objectives
One 'beginner' skating aim is to make you proficient enough to enjoy the social cityskates which importantly require skaters to be able to control their speed safely down hills.
An example 'advanced' skating aim is to train you like a personal trainer trains a fitness client to make you a really fit, confident / competent skater. This is student-focused learning so PLEASE tell us what YOU want to learn! We focus on safety, fun and learning! You'll learn a variety of methods of speed control, turning and more.
If you are looking to purchase equipment please ask your instructor and we will advise you on the best places to go. Bookings / contact is preferred via SMS - Click here first for template instructions including BRISBANE because we have lessons in other cities such as SYDNEY and also via Zoom. Rollerblading Brisbane greatly appreciates your Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and TikTok support as a small business operator. Our Rollerblading Brisbane 'Google Reviews' speak for themselves.
