Hey Skaters!
Spring is springing, so it's time to dust off those skates and get ready to
roll! But, make sure you don't forget to dust off your legs as well!
Start the season with a bang this year, by participating in the Eddy
Matzger Roadshow in New York City, June 1-3. The Roadshow is an excellent
way to refine your skating technique, teaching you to skate better, longer
and (yes) faster! It is an intense weekend of drills, stretches and
exercises, on skates and off. Expect to work hard, and to feel it for a few
days afterwards. But in this short time, your limits will be stretched
farther than you believed possible. And, it's lots of FUN!
The Roadshow is an evolution of Eddy's famous workshops, for recreational
and speed skaters at an intermediate and advanced level who are interested
in skating better. You don't have to be a speed skater, or even want to
become one. (I did my first workshop on a pair of K2 Eclipse skates. Speed
skating happened to me later.)
Eddy Matzger is a world champion inline skater, many time winner of the
ultra-marathon Athens-to-Atlanta road skate and other races too numerous to
list, and a gifted teacher and communicator. His teaching technique breaks
down skating movement into small components, drill and perfect these, and
then recombine them into your new skating stroke. Eddy has given this
workshop to hundreds of skaters in dozens of cities across the United
States, Canada, Europe and Asia.
The cost of the Roadshow is $250. For that, you get over two full days of
instruction, a t-shirt, lots of other swag, goodies and prizes, and
bragging rights!
Eddy's website has lots of information about the workshop, including
registration, a description of the proceedings, lots of pictures:
