LEARN TO SKATEBOARD!
About
YOUR INSTRUCTOR
INSTRUCTOR GALLERY
"Learning a new trick today gives me the exact same feeling it did 32 years ago when I first started skateboarding. Being on the board is the ultimate form of self expression, discipline, and self mastery. I truly find happiness in helping others discover that same freedom, and love to share in the excitement of learning and the confidence of progression. I look forward to having fun and helping you to feel some comfort outside of your comfort zone."

What can I expect during a session?
We'll start by discussing any goals you want to work toward, then we'll do a quick assessment of your skill level on a skateboard. Once we have an understanding of your skill level, we'll help you get more comfortable at that level and then keep gradually progressing.

Skatepark etiquette
Proper stance
Pushing, riding
Stopping

What if I can't afford your lessons?
If you're facing economic hardship and can't afford our lessons, please reach out about a reduced rate that will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Will I get hurt?
You will DEFINITELY get hurt at some point. That’s the nature of skateboarding. But that’s OK because we all do it. We'll show you how to bail tricks and how to fall with grace, but sadly those ideas are only learned through experience. While you're under our watch we'll do our best to minimalize danger and teach you the best techniques to keep you safe.
*If you are of a certain age and wish to take it slow, we'll of course tailor the lesson to minimalize the risk of falling.
Where will we skate?
We can have a session at most skateparks in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx convenient to public transportation. We can meet near you, or decide on a different location.
