All the skate moves - demonstrated by the sk8school skate instructors
Check out the videos of the moves. This covers the majority of the moves our Level 1 instructors will cover. If you can do everything you see here - you need a level 2 instructor!
The Skate Organisations
The London and Eastbourne Inline Skate School and its members have been integral to the national skate scene for 20 years or more. Here are some of the organisations that some of our instructors are members of or support.



Meet Tim Wheals

Tim Wheals

IISA Level 2 Instructor

NSP Trainer

Event Organiser

Eastbournes Longest serving instructor, Tim qualified in the first IISA exam held in England, way back in 1995. Tim started skating on Quads at roller disco's in 1984 and has not stopped since, graduating to inlines in 1995, in order to become Eastbournes first IISA qualified instructor.

Tim has worked in the industry for many years as a director of a skate shop and the event coordinator for Englands biggest skate festival since 1998. Additionally Tim has coordinated skate holidays abroad and spent many years teaching in schools and running training programs for councils and businesses.

Tim has worked hard to build the skate scene in Eastbourne since 1995 and at some point or another has taught almost all of Eastbourne skaters. Some of these have progressed so far they have become instructors themselves and now teach on Eastbourne seafront too!

Tim is also the National Skate Patrol trainer and a long serving IISA level 2 instructor.

Tim can generally teach at the following times.

  • Sat-Mon - any time.
  • Tue-Fri - Evenings.

Quotes:

Yes... Wheals is my real name! It Wheely, Wheely is!

I've been at this so long it just proves it's "whealy" good fun! (Not to be confused with Wheely good fun on the seafront!)

Nothing can go wrong!

Forwards is best!
