If you feel that skating once, twice or three times a week with your league just isn't enough, there's plenty you can do to bolster your skills and learn some new. Skating outdoors or learning to ramp skate will not only improve your skillset but also boost your confidence and may even help you pick up those minimum skills quicker.
The Skateparks Project is a directory, a resource and a community website intended to help skaters around the UK discover and build new skateparks. Find out more here:
If you can't get to a skate park, why not have a go at trail skating? There are plenty of places around with flat, skate-able surfaces, such as parks, nature trails (as long as they have a flat path!), car parks, you name it. If you can't find a skate park, just open your eyes and look around. Even if you can only skate down the street, it's a start.
Chicks in Bowls (CIB) is a movement (for all genders) to encourage people to take up skating in skateparks. Indoor, outdoor, in space (we wish) you name it.
If you really want that roller derby edge, join a CIB movement and learn to ramp/bowl skate!
