San Francisco Slalom Retreat June 2011

This week will be the week-days immediately before BattleUS competition in the same location (San Francisco June 5-10th).

The maximum number of participants in the retreat is 10.

Further to the schedule shown below, the week includes individual 1on1 video review and progress discussions with participants.

This year, Natalie Ujuk of SkateFreestyle will be hosting the freestyle slalom retreat. Natalie is Australia's top ranked Freestyle Slalom Skater and is a qualified Slalom Instructor under the Inline Certification Programme (ICP).

Following the growing success of Naomi Grigg's Freestyle Slalom Retreats, Natalie and Naomi have worked together to create an upgraded slalom week. Theory sessions have been re-vamped, new style-tricks are on the menu, and new techniques are in store for developing and improving skater's flow, power and ability to perform fast & fluid improvised freestyle amongst other things.

The week will kick off with a planning meeting on the Sunday evening where individual goals and tailor-made schedules will be discussed.

Cost: $299. Discounted rate, as it is Natalie Ujuk's first retreat. Usual price $400. Accomodation is additional and includes breakfast, see 'shop'.

This retreat is now open for booking via the online shop.
