Hamilton foreshore - best spot to learn!

Hamilton (near Portside Wharf) - is where we run most of our lessons for rollerblading and rollerskating. An excellent starting point for Brisbane skating tours, fitness skating and skate-2-ski, master stopping on hills, we'll rollerblade along the Brisbane River if the weather allows or in case of rain move the lesson to an undercover area nearby! Some of our best lessons have been held on wet weather days.

 

Gardens Point / Kangaroo Point

Had a lesson with Rollerblading Brisbane already and keen to master steeper hills? We run lessons at Gardens Point and nearby. Great for experienced rollerbladers able to comfortably stop down hills noted for its green surroundings, refreshments and proximity to public transport. An area near the Queensland University of Technology is a great place to master more advanced hills. The surface has been recently resurfaced on the Goodwill Bridge but beware the cyclists and runners (not recommended for beginners) and crowds on weekends can be an issue. Consider your 1st lesson in Hamilton where we have an undercover venue in case of rain.

Skate Parks - Coorparoo and Paddington 

Coorparoo & Paddington skate parks are outdoor skateparks where we sometimes run private lessons. This skatepark is excellent for aggressive | freestyle inline skaters and rollerskaters keen to ride ramps. With an experienced and certified instructor, learn to pump the transition, turns, stalls, air tricks, spins, safety, skate etiquette, drop-in safely, etc.  NB There are risks involved with ramp skating so making sure you are physically fit, already know how to skate backwards confidently and can look over the correct shoulder in a staggered position, can safely jump and bend your knees correctly when landing, be able to perform forwards-to-backwards transitions in both directions of rotation before you enter the skatepark environment. See some of our lesson progression videos here. For multiple paid up-front ramp / skate park lessons (lesson packs) we may consider alternative venues in Brisbane. Paddington Skate Park is the closest option.

(The skater on the right of this old photo is James O'Connor, who founded Rollerblading.com.au Online Magazine and the trick is called an invert / hand plant. This pic was taken at the old Bondi ramp in Sydney). The top image is from the now (unfortunately) closed RampAttak.

Newstead

NEWSTEAD'S WATERFRONT PARK is a great place to skate! A very popular option due to the smoothness and diversity of the nearby pathways! The foreshore area in front of Malt Pier Cafe (our meeting spot) is fantastic!

Waterfront Park has pay parking on Newstead Terrace.

In the event of rain, we would agree to meet at an alternative location (to avoid unnecessary lesson cancellation) such as Hamilton or a specified carpark location (near the Tesla dealership on Ann Street, Newstead) organised via text message.
