Beyond the Rink: Learn, Practice
and Get Help

You don't need to own ONE Blades EDGE to join.

You don't need to be an advanced skater.

And you don't need to know exactly where you fit before you start.

Beyond the Rink exists to give skaters somewhere to go after the question, the guide or the equipment.

Learning to skate rarely happens from one lesson, one video or one piece of equipment.

ONE Blades contains the open public knowledge: Guides, Answers, setup information and the public ONE Academy resources.

Beyond the Rink takes that knowledge and puts it inside a learning and community environment.

Instead of finding one lesson and disappearing, you can continue.

If you're new to inline figure skating, start with Learn to Skate.

You don't have to decide what random element to learn next.

There is a progression to follow.

Inside Beyond the Rink, you can work through the course and keep track of what you have completed.

If you're already an experienced skater, you don't necessarily need to begin at the first lesson.

Use the progression to find the level that matches where your skating is now.

Learn to Skate gives you the progression.

ONE Academy lets you go deeper.

As your skating develops, you can work on specific areas including:

You don't have to consume everything.

Use the Academy for the part of your skating you're actually working on.

One reason to learn inside Beyond the Rink rather than opening individual lessons at random is continuity.

You can see what you've completed and continue through your learning rather than trying to remember where you stopped.

That becomes more useful as the number of lessons grows.

Your skating doesn't need more information for the sake of information.

It needs a clear next step.

You can also share your progress.

Skating can be an individual activity without needing to become an isolated one.

Beyond the Rink also gives you a direct route to Adam.

That matters because sometimes the problem isn't that the information doesn't exist.

You simply don't know which information applies to you.

If you're stuck, unsure where to begin or don't know what resource to use next, ask.

Tell Adam where you are with your skating and he can help point you toward an appropriate place to begin.

A lesson can show you what to do.

It cannot see what you are doing.

That's where personal feedback becomes useful.

Use Live Coaching when interaction in the moment is more useful than sending a recording.

Use Coach Feedback when you want Adam to review something you've already filmed.

They solve different problems.

ONE Credit is store credit within ONE.

It can also be used for Coach Feedback and eligible coaching services.

That creates a connection between the equipment and the learning around it.

The community and learning environment come first.

Paid personal help is there when you want it.

You don't have to choose one and ignore the other.

They have different jobs.

The knowledge connects the two.
