Cross-Skating in Madrid

Javier Castro aus Madrid ist begeistert vom Cross-Skating. Seit er den Sport kennt, engagiert er sich unter www.total-sports.es um den Cross-Skating Sport und andere Sportarten in Spanien. Das Angebot ist vielseitig und vor allem sehr professionell organisiert. Neben Cross-Skating werden dort zum Beispiele auch Kickbiking und Moderner Biathlon angeboten. Besonders das trockene Wetter im zentralen Spanien ermöglicht es unseren Sport dort wirklich das ganze Jahr über auszuüben. Vielleicht ist dies die ideale Umgebung für Southic Cross-Skating? Wer es heraus finden möchte, besucht Javier einfach in Madrid.

 Total-Sports (www.total-sports.es) has been involved during last year into develop and promote in Spain some nordic sports, but these sports are absolutely adapted to the lack of snow: kickbiking (also known as footbiking), electronic (modern) biathlon and cross skating.

No doubt, the best seller, and our main goal, is Cross Skating, which is slowly growing up in Spain.

Spain is a perfect place for cross skating. Here one can find the right surfaces, forest paths, bike lanes,  mountain paths… and, of course, the weather. We can say it is posible to go out for some training on our cross skates for 364 days every year. But, what about the 365th day? Well, you know, you should rest at least one day, don’t you?

Why don’t you come to Spain for some Cross Skating when whole Europe is waiting for warmer weather? For sure, in Spain we have winter, but it is not as cruel, cold and chilly as in Central and North Europe.

So, come to visit us, you should be concerned just for your sport shoes and clothes, don’t worry about the skates and poles. We have everything you will need.

Are you thinking about coming to Madrid? Send an email to total-sports@outlook.com, we will show you the largest urban park in Europe. We are talking about Casa de Campo, five times bigger than New York’s Central Park and six times bigger than Hyde Park in London. It’s a real paradise for cross skating, running, mountain biking, nordic walking… There are tracks and paths that you will enjoy, no matter your skating skills, there is a place to everyone.

We can say, without a doubt, no matter the weather, you can always find the right place for cross skating or kickbiking in Madrid.

The activities we can offer to you in Madrid during the whole week, not just weekends, are:

• Cross skating courses, 1 to 12 attenders. All levels, from begginer to advanced. Private or group lessons. You can choose:
  • Half course: two hours in one session.
  • Complete course: four hours in two sessions, one session per day or the whole thing in just one day, first session in the morning and the second one in the afternoon.
  • Intensive course: six hours in two sessions. Triathletes who are interested on winter tritahlon events use to ask for this course. A whole day to train and improve your skills. During the morning session we will focus on technique and afterwards, during second session, we will check our personalperformance in a 10-20 kilometers track.

• Cross skating guided route, 1 to 12 attenders. We will skate for two hours on tracks with many different difficulty levels, depending on your personal preferences or skills. Flat asphalt roads, wide hard packed dirt tracks, narrow forest paths spotted of roots, stones and sand traps…
• Training session, 1 to 12 attenders. We will go for a mixed sports training: running (low-medium intensity)for 30-60 minutes + cross skating (medium-high intensity) for 60-90 minutes.
• Kickbiking route, 1 to 5 attenders. One hour to one hour and a half on those funny scooters. Kickbiking is really easy to learn, but is quite demanding, so one hour and a half is enough to drain your energy.

For those who prefer to stay in a rural lodge, far away from the big city, we can go there to offer same activities and something more… We can organize private modern biathlon events, depending on the facilities of the rural lodge.

 

Our equipment includes:

• Cross skates by POWERSLIDE, SRB, FLEET and NORDIC SCOUT. All of them are one-size-fits-all system via strap or Skeleton shells
• Adjustuble length poles by LEKI
• Knee and elbow pads
• Helmets
• Scooters by KICKBIKE
• Electronic rifles and pistols by EKO-AIMS

See you in Spain.
