The SAVs had a wild of a time on Good Friday as we set out in the early morning on an urban skate. Even though the rain had just passed, rendering the grounds moist, that did not dampened our spirits. Some of us had actually skated from Jurong East to the start point at Vivocity (*thumbs up*).
The route took us from Vivocity to Chinatown via Bukit Merah. Chinatown was where we took a tea (literally) break at Smith Street food centre. From there on, we headed toward Marina Barrage. Beautiful view of the mouth of Singapore River and spectacular photo-spot of the city skyline where the Singapore Flyer dominated the foreground.
We are already looking forward to the next morning uban skate. No traffic, no crowds, no holds-bar! Chiong ah!

Applause to the first SAV recruitment drive of the year. A total of 21 passionate skaters turned up the recruitment, ranging from the very young to the young at heart. The event was spread over 2 Saturdays. The first day saw the skaters taking theory lessons on safe skating etiquette, a skills assessment session and wrapped up with an urban skating clinic.
Implemented only since the previous recruitment in 2008, the urban skating clinic received positive feedback from the skaters. It enabled them to understand the ways in which SAVs can contribute during an urban skating event. At the same time, the clinic taught them invaluable skating techniques that are usually not taught during formal skate lessons.
The second installment of the recruitment was held the following Saturday. Components included a skills assessment and skaters were given a lesson on basic skate instruction. Following that, they were grouped in smaller numbers to experience teaching a skating skill to “beginners”. It was a wholly new experience for them as it is never easy stepping into the shoes of a total beginner. But everyone had fun! It was clear that the skaters are on the road to becoming a full-fledged SAV as they equipped themselves with knowledge on providing advice for basic skills like V-Walk, Stride 1 and Heel-Stop.
The recruitment drive marked the end of learning in a controlled environment. Now, the prospective SAVs have to put their skills to test during actual events like the Saturday Night Skates. Then, they will familiarise themselves with handling real-life skating scenarios out in the urban jungle. After completing 2 of these practical sessions, they will receive their orange tees and officially initiated as an SAV! All the best to them!
