Skate with Char

04/03/2026

I HATE filming myself. I feel so vunerable 😅😭.

But... filming brings to my attention simple things I can fix to improve the overall aesthetic:
♡ SMILE, I LOVE skating, why do I look so miserable? Cheer up, Charly!
♡ ARMS, I'm a gangly fool. I need to intentionally use my arms
♡ LOOK UP, I say this all the time to anyone asking for help... I got to work on it myself!

From Nirvana to Dragonforce. From System of a down to The Offspring. Speaking of Offspring, all songs will be kiddo friendly. NO SWEARING so the whole family can 🤟

Book as usual on the booking system.

The session will be extended for the late comers who have work commitments.

Rock 'N' ROLL baby! 🎸🛼

NO teaching tonight!
I've done my old weary knees in and I have to rest before my snow holiday.

Rock night! Throwback to classic rock, touch of metal, those head banging singalongs and a sprinkle of punk.

Wednesday 29th January, 5:30 to 7:30. I'd love for some of you lovely skaters to come support a night of different music.

Any song suggestions? Drop them in the comments!

Dressing up welcome. Dig out your nostaligic punk fishnets, spikey belts and leather jackets!

At Skates down on Newport Quay. Book on their booking system by visiting their page.

Cant wait to see you all xx
