This Saturday, be sure to come riot on the track under the skilled eye of Coach Percy Riot. This authority figure will put you through your paces, teaching you all her roller skating tips and tricks.
What you’ll learn:
At Raw Meat Vancouver Roller Skating, we learn roller-derby style roller skating. If you are thinking of joining a local roller derby league, spring is the perfect time to start learning. This will give you all summer to practice before the local leagues have tryouts in the fall. And just look at the weather! You want to roller skate the seawall, don’t you? Here’s the place to learn how.
If you are an experienced roller skater who just hasn’t been out much lately, what are you waiting for? Now is the perfect time to brush up your skating skills so you can dodge those tourists on the seawall.
Whether it’s your first time on roller skates or your hundred thousandth, you are always welcome at Raw Meat.
At Raw Meat, you’ll learn a variety of roller skating skills including skating form, crossovers, backwards skating, agility, weaving, skating with others, pace lines, jumps, stops, falls, carving and more. You’ll also learn basic roller derby rules and drills (always non-contact!).
Skaters must bring roller skates, helmet, mouth guard, and wrist, elbow and knee pads. The venue also requires that all skaters have white or light toe stoppers, and put strips of white tape (vertically, not horizontally) on your knee pads, or cover them with felt or socks. This is to help avoid marking the floor.
Sessions are $7. Exact change is appreciated.
Raw Meat sessions are always non-contact. We have only two rules: 1. Be safe, 2. Don’t be an ass-hat.
See you Saturday!
