Beginner Classes:
Skateboard 1 (ages 6 through Adult).
This class is perfect for the person who is just learning to ride their first skateboard,or who still needs work perfecting their board control. Safety is a main focus of this class, with an emphasis on how to properly wear protective gear (helmet, elbow pads, and knee pads), proper foot placement, and how to safely fall. Additionally, skaters will learn the fundamentals of how to push, turn, and stop. Skateboard 1 will also introduce skaters to carving techniques, rolling into transitions, and pumping. This class may be repeated to perfect the fundamental before moving to Skateboard 2 or SkateCamp. This will be determined by a Skateboarding test on the last day of group lessons.
