the hybrid mentoring ecosystem

My face-to-face program is not a traditional set of hourly skating lessons. It is a complete hybrid ecosystem designed to accelerate your learning by combining physical coaching with full access to our online digital mentoring platform.

The Adrifreeskate Method

All training is built upon a clear, step-by-step progression system. Regardless of your current skill level, your progression is governed by three core pillars:

• Technique

• Weight Control

• Timing

Alongside these three foundational pillars, the methodology is also driven by the distinct concepts of Range and Flow.

The Progression Levels & Trials

To ensure you are always working on the right skills at the right time, the method is divided into three tiers: Confident, Complete, and Legend.

To make sure you are building not just the right muscle memory, but a true understanding of why and how the mechanics work, your progression is guided by trials. Understanding exactly what you are doing is incredibly important before moving forward:

• Level Trials: After completing a level, you will face a short "mini-exam." This is a set of practical skill trials to make sure you have both the physical control and the core understanding completely locked in before adding new challenges.

• Tier Trials: To graduate from an entire tier (for example, moving from Confident up to Complete), you will complete a broader set of trials. This ensures you have safely mastered and understood everything across both levels before stepping into more advanced territory.

While our face-to-face classes currently focus on mastering the first three levels, here is the complete roadmap of your progression:

• Confident Tier

  • Confident Level 1: We cover all the foundations to skate forward with total control. This is also where we introduce the basics of jumping.

  • Confident Level 2: We shift focus to all the foundations and mechanics required to comfortably skate backwards.

• Complete Tier

  • Complete Level 1: We start touching on specific disciplines as their own focus, including slides, jumps, wizard, slalom, pumptrack, and skatepark.

  • Complete Level 2: We dive deeper into those specific disciplines and begin seamlessly mixing them together.

• Legend Tier

  • Legend Level 1: Training pushes your skills up to an amateur competition level.

  • Legend Level 2: Elite mastery, pushing you to a pro competition level.

The "Flipped Classroom" Approach

To maximize your time on skates, we use a flipped classroom model. As a face-to-face student, you receive full access to our online video library and the interactive Training Board.

Before every physical class, you will have the relevant video lessons to watch at home. You will learn the theory, mechanics, and positional breakdowns before we even meet. When you arrive at the session, I will still explain the concepts, expand on them, and provide different examples—but because you have already studied the material, it is like going to class after already reading the chapter. You will grasp the mechanics much faster, allowing us to dedicate far more of our face-to-face time to execution, physical correction, and active coaching.

The Bi-Weekly Training Cadence

Progression requires a balance of targeted instruction and raw hours of practice. To achieve this, the program operates on a structured, two-week cycle:

• The Active Week (Learning & Coaching): You will attend two 1-hour face-to-face coaching sessions on different days (e.g., Wednesdays and Fridays, or weekends). This week is dedicated entirely to introducing new concepts, correcting your posture, and actively drilling the theory you studied online.

• The Training Week (Execution & Muscle Memory): There are no formal coaching classes this week. Instead, we organize group training sessions where you have the time and space to repeatedly practice exactly what you learned during the Active Week. These are primarily independent sessions, but I will occasionally attend to get my own training in. While my main focus during these sessions is my own practice, you are always welcome to ask me questions while we skate together, completely free of charge.

The Training Board & Digital Community

Your training does not stop when the physical class ends. You get full access to the interactive Training Board alongside the video library.

This is where the community comes together. You can post your training sessions, share your progress, and show what you have been working on. I will actively post footage from classes across all skill levels—this allows you to revise the foundations by watching lower levels, get inspired by higher levels, and see exactly what is coming next in your progression. You will also see how my online students are training with the exact same material, creating an environment where everyone can motivate each other and stay on track between sessions.
