[SkateDC] Slalom Skate Practice Group - Sat 9-11am (4 Sept)

[Cliff Anckaitis]

All,

This week we will practice everything, from the basics to the few intermediate moves that i know.  I will bring a big cooler of water, chalk, cones and measuring tape.  Bring your cones and a helmet for safety.  Also see Wed night slalom info below.  

**Rain - if it rains lightly or the streets are wet, the practice will still occur.  This is becasue: 1. we do not go very fast anyways; 2. the paved court we practice on is deserted; and 3. because it is wet we will really focus on the basic moves and perfect form. Perfect form is really important.**

Our location is Washington & Lee H.S parking deck (off of 15th & Quincy) in Arlington (near Ballston Mall, MapQuest link below, see note).  We will begin with a 15 minute lesson. 

*The space is about 1/2 the size of a football field with a painted concrete surface. 1/2 of the space is a hockey area and the other half is for any use.  MapQuest link (1300 N. Quincy Street, Arlington, VA 22201) http://www.mapquest.com/maps?ddress=1301+N+Stafford+St&zipcode=22201 -- Note: From the MapQuest star drive past Rt 66 and turn left onto 15th St North.  There is street parking and 2 entrances to the mostly underground parking deck.  The skate area is above ground between the parking decks.

Also, for those who can't make it Sat morning, most weeks I go to the Wed night adult skate 800-1030pm at Wheels Skating Center (1200 Odenton Road, Odenton, Maryland 21113), http://www.wheelsrsc.com/.  I will commit to a free 15 minute lesson to all show up.

**Sorry, I did not make to Odenten on Wed but will try to make it there this week**
