ABOUT US
SMUX Skating is an inline skating team in SMU that is open to all students. Whether you’re a pro or have never picked up a pair of skates before, we welcome everyone to the SMUX Skating family!
Our weekly Friday sessions have a training segment where we teach beginners how to skate from scratch and give intermediates a space to have some fun and learn new tricks. After training, we bring skaters who are urban-proficient to skate in the city for dinner before skating back to school. Our urban locations vary from week to week, bringing you to signature food spots in Singapore nearby school!

OUR PEOPLE IN ACTION
DO I NEED TO AUDITION TO GET INTO THE CLUB?
No, we welcome skaters of all proficiency levels. Just bring yourself and have fun!
"I want to sign up for SMUX Skating as previously when I was in polytechnic I had myself involved in skating as a sports module and it intrigued me to want to continue learning about the many cool tricks we can do with our skates."
- Germaine Tan, School of Computing & Information Systems Year 1
"I recently went skating after having not skated for a very very long time, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it and that I was still able to skate quite comfortably. Hence, I would really like to be able to skate regularly from now on, and meet a community of individuals who enjoy skating as well :) I’d also like to learn new skills and improve at skating :p"
- Jamie Ma, School of Accountancy Year 1
FAQ
Nope, you don't have to! We have skates of most sizes available for rent for each session. Do note that skates are rented on a first come first served basis according to your indication as to whether you will be attending that week’s session.
Nope! Most of us start out with little or no experience skating. We have friendly EXCO members who conduct lessons for everyone to pick up this skill!
Don’t worry! The very first skill we will teach is on how to fall properly and safely. We will provide helmets which are a MUST to wear when you’re on skates. We also provide wrist, elbow and knee guards for anyone who requires them. Do note that for all beginners, guards are a must to ensure your own safety.
We have a strict proficiency requirement for urban sessions as it can be dangerous if you are unaware of what to take note of. We will have progressive training to help you learn the required skills. If you want to join your friends for dinner, fret not! We will have a dinner party that takes public transport to the dinner place to join the rest of them so no one has to be left out!
Aside from our emails, we have a telegram group where we mingle and post updates for all of our activities. DM us on Instagram to find out more about it and feel free to ask us any questions!
