Heel-Brake Clinic (Group lesson)

• Improve technique.
• Build confidence.
• Learn to stop on hills.
• Master difficult surfaces.

For many new skaters stopping is a big problem. Easy enough to get going not so easy to stop. Competence at stopping using the heel-brake is the essential key in helping the skater gain early confidence. Don runs hourly Heel-Brake Clinics at Bellahouston Park. Just turn up and pay on the day, cost £5. Details about the next clinic are in this newsletter. (sign up for newsletters they're free)
