It's that time of year again! Time to dust off the skates and start the skating season!
Get the season started right with a one-day workshop that will improve your skating technique, allowing you to skate further and/or faster while using less energy!
I'm teaching this workshop as part of my fundraising for Multiple Sclerosis Society, so all proceeds go towards MS research and helping people suffering from MS.
NEW FOR THIS YEAR!
I've decided to experiment and make the workshop RISK FREE. Don't pay any registration fee up front. (Unless you want to.) Instead, take the workshop and decide afterward how much you think it was worth, then make a donation to MS Society for that amount. In prior years, I've charged $80 for the workshop, which I think is a very reasonable fee for an entire day's worth of instruction. But, once you're done, if you don't think the workshop was worth that to you, then donate whatever you do think it was worth.

Note that this workshop is not meant to compete with the Eddy Matzger workshop coming up in April. If anything, it is meant to supplement it. We'll be covering some of the some drills in my workshop that you'll see in Eddy's. So this will be a great "warm up" for Eddy's workshop, which is why I've purposely scheduled it a few weeks before Eddy's workshop. If you're only able to attend one or the other, I'd recommend Eddy's -- it's awesome.
If you have any questions about the workshop content or the intended audience, please feel free to ask. The workshop is open to anyone that wants to skate better. You should be relatively comfortable on your skates though. (It's not intended for people that do not know how to skate at all.)
Great initiative! Unfortunately I'll be returning from a trip abroad the night before. Maybe next time.
Looks like it'll be a small turnout, but the workshop is happening today... I'll schedule another one in May or June to try to accommodate everyone that wasn't able to make it this weekend...

Would love to go, but have another committment.
