Hello, My name is Julien, I am 24 and have now been roller skating (inline skates) for the past six years and for the past year and a half in Dublin. If you are interested in taking roller skating lessons don't hesitate to contact me! The lessons are an hour and twenty minutes long. I can give basis (fitness), slalom or freeskate lessons. The price depends on the number of people coming to a session: 1 person: 30 euros 2 people: 20 euros each 3 people: 15 euros each 4 people: 12 euros each 5+ people: 10 euros each Of course it will also depend on the weather, this is why I ask you to think about different times of the week for the lesson. I am free everyday of the week! You will NEED your own protections and roller skates. More info on: www.rideandroll.blogspot.com Hope to hear from you soon! Cheers! Julien

Perhaps something along the lines of Phoenix Park or Dollymount Strand would be a better place to practice assuming the OP is in Dublin There was a thread last year that had details of free training in the Phoenix park on Sunday, not sure if it is still happening.

Pag838614 wrote: » Yes that park. Haven't yet uses it yet but cycle track is 1.3km long and tarmac meant to be near perfect. Great for outdoor skating. When are you moving up here?
Guy Sajer wrote: » I'm moving in two weeks time. Went to phoenix park a few times, but just up and down the cycle track and the main road through. I'm coming from the UK, didn't do any inline here, just a bit on ice. What's your level?

Seems there's zero skaters round here other than myself. Shame, it's huge fun and great for fitness. I like to skate fast, urban areas, anywhere really. I follow Bill Stoppard on Youtube (PintoPonyProductions), very much his style. Rolling in Seba FR1 80's, but may try a three wheel setup soon.

There his friend from Shop Task. he is very good as well. i recommend Skatefreshasha and Ricardo Lino Regarding tri skates they can be fun. i have 2 pairs. 125 powerslide imperials... they can be very fast and amazing on ****ty paths, then 110 kaze. it something between 80mm wheels and 125mm. much control and bigger speed. for practising new things i use powerslide metropolis pro. Try triskate real fun
Johro wrote: » Haha you just mentioned everyone I'm subscribed to on youtube right now, was just watching Ricardo Lino's take on tri-skates, and I've been following RED July faithfully. I'm also subscribed to SkatefreshAsha (email also) and I love Shoptask. I'm not sure about my tri-skate options yet.. Like, I have both the 2015 and 2016 version of the Seba FR1 80's, I'd like a three wheel setup, was gonna buy the Seba three wheel frame and then some wheels, but damn, just the Seba frame itself is more expensive than the Powerslide Megacruiser frame including wheels... I'm thinking the Seba frame is likely a stronger, stiffer, superior frame but do I really need it or is the Megacruiser frame good enough? Or should I just consider a tri-skate rather than switch frames? Something with the trinity frame looks like it may be the best setup..

I got 45 and they are to small (my size is 45 on all other pairs of skates I have) and now they are resting under my stairs hahaha. So had to invest in another pair 46 and they are perfect. I think that can be the same with other models with the same technology from powerslide like TAU. But trinity is very stable and if you go for 110 it is like 90mm for standard frame with the same length. Megacruiser has simple stock frame and if you jump a lot ... is not for you . For faster skating and fitness i think is good enough. Gives me a lot of pleasure
Johro wrote: » Yeah I think the megacruiser frame may not be strong enough.. I do like the trinity frame, and the Kaze looks like a really good skate, but I think I might just get a Seba three wheel frame for the FR1's. They fit me really well and feel responsive, I'll probably go with the 110mm wheels coz I'm not tall, 125mm seems a bit too much for me. Maybe sometime I will buy the Kaze, but I spent quite a bit of money on skate related stuff lately, I'd have to get it past the girlfriend haha. On the other hand, buying the Seba tri frame and wheels is almost the price of a new set of skates. Not quite the Kaze, but close enough. I might wait til September, it'll be my birthday
