Where to slide/slalom?The official ground for slide and slalom is located in Downtown East at Pasir Ris, in an Indoor Skating Rink – Hi Roller Singapore. It is furnished with the national competing ground and will be perfect for your training. Slide training is held every Thursday at 8PM and there is a $10 chargeable fee. In any case you'd like to practice outside of Hi Roller's training hours: For Slalom, you'll need a flat open surface, a set of cones, measuing tape and a marker. For Slide, you'll only need a flat open surface. Some other locations for considerations are: Skating Rink at East Coast Park Underpass at Esplanade Tertiary School Skate Clubs: NUS Skate Club (@nusskating) NTU Skate Club (@ntuskateclub) SMU Skate Club (@smuxskating) SIT Skate Club (@sit.inlineskate) Singapore Polytechnic Skate Club (@spskateclub) Ngee Ann Polytechnic Skate Club (@np_inline) Temasek Polytechnic Skate Club (@tpskateclub) ITE Central Skate Club (@iteccskateclub)
