Coming to the skate farm will improve your confidence and get you ready for anything! Whether you want to prepare for success at an upcoming event, learn to climb hills and control speed on the descents, or just want to burn more energy than you ever imagined, then the SkateFarm is for you!
What Will We Do?
After waking up and eating a hearty breakfast, Eddy will load you up and move you out by 9:30 am. Most technique sessions in the morning require a short drive to the skating location. Eddy usually prepares lunch at the Skate Farm, though sometimes we elect to eat in town. After some down time for digestion, some road skates begin from the SkateFarm itself, however occasionally a short portage by car to the skate du jour will be necessary.
Where Will We Skate?
Floyd county offers a veritable pot-pourri of places to skate. Scream yourself hoarse on rollercoaster hill and set a new speed record. Learn control by slaloming downhill safely in the controlled environment of the Commerce Park. Fry legs and lungs climbing up to the Chateau Morissette Winery (and reward yourself with a tasting). Hawk the line on Long Level Road and perfect crossovers at the Laurel Branch Loop.
Much of the skating is on country roads with vehicular traffic, so caution, discretion, and courtesy at all times is absolutely necessary.
