LEARN TO SKATEBOARD...
We've started running lessons for beginners
Come and have a go...
While we go through the process of finding a building, getting various funding, and bringing the whole thing together, we've started doing lessons for beginners using the existing local facilities.
We're keeping the cost as low as possible - and all profits from the lessons go into the project, to help fund the park once we're underway.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Skateboarding isn't easy. While it comes more naturally to some, for most people it takes time and effort to get comfortable enough to start attempting the kind of tricks you see all over social media. As with anything new, the best thing to do is start from the beginning....
We'll start with the basics:
- The correct stance for you and foot placement.
- Balancing on the board.
- How to push, turn and confidently stop.
- How to ride up and down ramps.
- Dropping in on quarter pipes.
- Basic tricks such as Shuv-its, Ollies and more.
We appreciate that everyone learns at different rates, and our sessions are designed to allow flexibility, meaning that those who learn a skill quickly can move on to more difficult variations, while others can spend more time to refine it.
Through of this we maintain our core principles:
- Safety:
Such as how to use pads correctly to minimise risk, and how to fall correctly (you will at some point).
- Progression
Taking a structured approach so that your trick-bag increases in a measured way, and not spending hours on things you can't achieve.
- Having fun
The most important bit of all !
