Special Focus: Skateboarding Lessons for Kids
We love working with kids as young as 4 years old! Our instructors are patient, fun, and experienced in working with all ability levels.
Our kid-friendly lessons include:
How to fall safely (yes, it’s a skill!)
Learning to balance, push, turn, and stop
Intro to fun tricks like kickturns and beginner ollies
Building confidence every session
Parents are welcome to watch and cheer from the sidelines — or sit back and relax while we handle the fun and learning.
Yes, We Offer Driveway Skate Lessons!
No need to travel — we bring the lesson to you! If you have a smooth surface like a driveway, sidewalk, or quiet cul-de-sac, we’ll set up a safe space for your child to learn and progress comfortably right at home.
Great for first-timers who want to start in a familiar setting.
