Why beginners give up

It's not talent. It's the order.

The fear never leaves

Nobody showed you how to fall safely, so every wobble feels like the one that hurts. You stiffen up, and stiff skaters fall more.

Tutorials jump ahead

Free videos teach tricks. Without the foundation underneath, they don't work — and you start thinking it's you.

No clear next step

You can roll forward, sort of. Then what? Without a path, practice turns into going in circles in the same parking lot.

The Sundown method

Six courses. One path.

Each course builds on the one before. With the Complete Library you have the whole path: the foundation in courses 1 to 3 and the next level in courses 4 to 6.

Patrizia, the Sundown Skater, on her roller skates

Your teacher

Hi, I'm Patrizia — the Sundown Skater.

I've spent four years teaching roller skating and built Switzerland's first roller skate school. Hundreds of beginners later, I know exactly where people get stuck — and which parts everybody skips.

These courses follow the same order I teach in person. Basics first, every move broken down, so you understand what you're doing on skates.

“I didn’t fall!”First time on skates in decades, after practicing with Patrizia’s videos.

mobilepaintpartiesftl: I went roller skating for the first time in decades and prior had been doing your exercises. I didn't fall! And had a blast!
hiasmini: Perfect! Finally someone really taught how to start something!
Instagram DM: Your tutorials have been really helpful for me, I just started learning to skate in October.
El Vdr: I've been trying to learn crazy legs on and off for a year. I watched this yesterday, and today I tried it, and it worked!
scarlett_skater92: The best explanation I've seen! Thank you!
rollingonrainbows: I attempted the zero after following your guidance, it definitely helped me learn where the momentum comes from.
just.add.glitter.za: this seems so easy when you break it down. Thank you for the video!
burzowykot: I really appreciate your tutorials, it made me suddenly understand how to do things.

Questions

I'm a total beginner. Is the Library too much?

No. The courses are built as a ladder: you start with Course 1 and only move on when you're ready. With the Library, the next step is already there when you get to it.

Do I have to do the courses in order?

We recommend it, because every course builds on the one before. If you can already skate forward and backward with control, you can jump straight to Course 4.

I already own a Bundle. Can I upgrade?

Yes. Upgrade to the Complete Library any time and you only pay the difference.

How long do I have access?

[Zugangsdauer bestätigen, z. B. lifetime access]

What skates do I need?

Any quad skates with toe stops work. Knee pads, wrist guards and a helmet are strongly recommended, especially in the beginning.
