Our students about the course

The tightness of the rollerdromm was a little annoying. But the advantage was that in one place there were also plus players (Slalom+ course) and others, from whom you can peep something .. ask around. In general, the winter went well, the basic skills of slalom, I believe, were taught to us in full. It remains only to consolidate and, perhaps, in the future, go to the Slalom+...”.

Now you can not only look with envy at the legs entwined in incredible elements, but also understand how to do it yourself and .... try to do it! ... ". Svetik, January 2010

Slalom, or freestyle, on roller skates is one of the main disciplines of roller sports. Slalom is a movement at speed along a winding route. The "tortuosity" of the track is created with the help of special cones, between which the athlete moves, performing various figures, elements and tricks.

Having completed the initial training in roller slalom and having learned how to do even simple movements correctly, it is already possible to demonstrate the beauty of this sport, having fun and expressing yourself in dancing on the slalom track. The roller, which has brought the technique to perfection, tests itself and gives the audience incredibly vivid emotional experiences.

Slalom is the most difficult discipline in roller sports. It stands out among all types of skating not only for its technical complexity, but also for the fact that it gives the roller the greatest opportunity in terms of self-expression. Freestyle slalom forces the athlete to carefully work out the smallest nuances of his technique, gradually developing an individual style: the famous roller slalom player can always be recognized by his signature figures and unique riding style.

Despite the fact that slalom is one of the types of freestyle rollerblading, there are actually two different directions inside it, which differ in character, complexity of tricks, entertainment:

• speed slalom ( speed slalom) - overcoming the track of cones with the maximum possible speed.
• Style slalom, or artistic slalom - a demonstration of a pre-prepared artistic program with musical accompaniment.

Freestyle training at Skate town school

Since the development of basic freestyle skills occurs during the passage of the initial course, its development begins even in the process of learning the basic elements of roller skating. You can switch to this discipline at any time when a clear understanding comes to you that you want to not only enjoy roller skating, but are going to devote yourself to slalom.

How much time will it take to study?

The first year usually teaches the simple basic elements of freestyle. The main goal here is to deliver basic technique. On average, the whole process takes about two to three months.

The second stage involves the development of complex figures, combinations and the development of a speed skating style (speed slalom). It is impossible to name the specific duration of this stage, since each athlete has his own speed of mastering the material - everyone needs a different amount of time to master the technique and learn how to perform tricks flawlessly. So, for one person, a month is enough to “knurl” a certain element, while another has to hone his skills for a whole year.
