COACHING BEFORE TRICKS
We teach decisions, not just movements.
A useful session begins with stance, speed, space and confidence. Coaches choose tasks that match the skater, the surface and the level of traffic.
- Level-appropriate starting point
- Warm-up and falling practice before new skills
- One clear cue at a time
- Alternative task when confidence drops
- Short review before the next session
PROGRESSION FRAMEWORK
Four checkpoints from first push to linked lines.
Balance
Find stance, step safely and hold a stable rolling position.
Control
Stop, turn and manage speed before adding complexity.
Apply
Use the skill on simple terrain and repeat it under light pressure.
Link
Connect movements into a line that the skater can understand and repeat.
SAFETY SYSTEM
Progress is faster when risk is understood.
Safety is part of the lesson plan. Coaches review protective equipment, park etiquette, surface conditions and the right time to pause or change a task.
Surface
Wet ground, debris, damage and crowded zones are checked first.
Protection
Helmet, suitable footwear and pads matched to the task.
Park space
Clear lines, turn-taking and awareness of other users.
Fatigue
Technique changes when concentration and leg control drop.
