OUR SKATE INSTRUCTORS

Cassidy H. from Fort Myers, Florida!

Was up?! Let’s GoSk8!  As a 35-year-old, I feel like the grampa at the park, but all good things refine with age!  I know my limits and I skate to have fun.  I don’t have a huge bag of tricks but I do have balance, pop, and speed.  After a long hiatus from skating, I have re-kindled my fire for riding my skateboard and have realized that this can be a life-long activity.  This is why I have started coaching! I do Video Analysis!  I can film for your video part or we will use my cameras to enhance and review your learning experience!   If you are a beginner or advanced sk8r, I would love to work with you!  Or send your kids my way!  If you are an experienced skater, I can help you get competition ready.  Etiquette at the skatepark is a big deal to me, along with safety.  I also want to be sure to find and use the right equipment for you.

Christopher M. from Fort Myers, Florida!

Being a skateboarder for over twenty years, I’ve witnessed a lot of change and progression happen in the skateboarding industry and the culture that supports it. I view skateboarding as more of a lifestyle than a sport, as more of a medium of artistic expression rather than that of athletic skill. From the perspective of a core skateboarder, changes that occur in skateboarding like the Olympics, fashion gimmicks, and corporate sponsorship have little effect on the authenticity of the real skateboard scene even though it brings a much-needed influx of viewership and monetary value. The older I get the more I appreciate the time I have to go out and skateboard, which is normally about three or four times a week. At the age of 31, I still find myself learning new tricks and taking advantage of every opportunity to film my friends and build DIY skate spots.  Although my approach depends on each client’s experience, I teach techniques that have been proven successful and have a variety of different methods for instruction based on each person’s interest and technical ability. Not only do I focus on the physical act of skating, but I also aim to show the students the lifestyle and culture of the skateboarding world. Whether it’s street, park, or transition skating, you will be stoked by how much you learn after just a few lessons.

Improve Your Skateboarding in a 7 Day Lesson





Do you want to learn how to skateboard?

Is the fear of falling keeping you from progressing? Understand all of the basic principles of skateboarding fast in a one-week camp. We will show you the basics of skateboarding such as how to balance, push, turn, proper foot placement, and how to stop. Regardless, of where you are at.. you can benefit from individualized instruction to meet your current skill level.



Skateboarding is a pastime activity, a work of art, or a method of transportation. Skateboarding has been designed and influenced by many skateboarders throughout the years. A 2002 report by American Sports Data uncovered there were 18.5 million skaters in the world. 85 percent of skaters polled who had used a board in the most recent year were under the age of 18, and 74 % were male. Those numbers have doubled since then. In the following years the actual locations of skate parks have more than tripled making it more accessible as publicly and privately owned skate parks and indoor skate parks are becoming a reality.





The biggest change has been the generation bubble that skated in their youth and have grown up with the “X” Games explosion into the global mainstream of competitive sports and now sees it as a natural participation sport for their children led by X-Games Athletes who are affiliated and instruct for our brand and web site.
