This skate is intended to be relatively easy. We welcome any skater with a minimum level of skills.<\/strong> Still, for everybody\u2019s safety and enjoyment, you need to have sufficient control on your trajectory and some braking abilities.<\/p>\n
You will also need to take into account your stress level (first-time experience of skating in a crowd may be slightly taxing) and your physical condition.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t trust your braking when approaching a downhill, please do request some help from the marshalls (aka \u201cStaff\u201d, you will spot them at their yellow tops). You will position yourself behind the staff member who will ensure a safe slowish descent; you might even want to take advantage of the stabilization provided by your helper, to practice your own braking in safety.<\/p>\n
There is no shame in deciding to call it quits before the end and riding the \u201cm\u00e9tro\u201d back home. If you feel a bit in over your head, there\u2019s always next sunday to try and do a longer part.\u00a0 Most falls can be traced back to excessive tiredness reducing one\u2019s awareness of the surroundings,\u00a0 balance, and ability to react. We highly recommend you wear adequate protective gear, no matter your level of skating expertise.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Note:
\n<\/strong>Approximately one sunday every\u00a0 6 weeks, we schedule a \u201cPtitbulot\u201d skate<\/strong>, with a specially designed easier and shorter route.\u00a0 Might be your best chance to test the waters and gain confidence before you join a \u201cregular\u201d skate?
