Roller skate coach and yoga instructor Mary Smith (aka Kid Ace) is returning to Ellicottville to host the final week of a 3-week skate series with Daily City Train! This time, we’re taking it to the outdoor park! The one-hour progressive group workshop will run Monday evening, August 26th. Cost is $20.

Choose from one of the following time slots:

5:30PM - 6:30PM

GETTING STARTED AT THE SKATEPARK:

No drop-ins required! In this hour we’ll get familiar with the physics of transition. We’ll discuss what is what at a skatepark and Kid Ace will share her approach to getting started at the skatepark. Whether you are brand new to skating or brand new to park skating, join us to get more familiar in a skatepark environment and collect a bag of tricks you can get started with!

7:00PM - 8PM

SLIDES, GRINDS AND LINES:

In this hour we will discuss the physics of slides and grinds as well as building lines in the bowl at the skatepark. This hour is appropriate for skaters who are familiar with the skatepark and are looking to build their skills in the streets and in transition.
