Spokane ( /spoʊˈkæn/, US dict: spō·kăn′) is a city located in the Northwestern United States in the state of Washington.

David Thompson explored the Spokane area and began European settlement with the westward expansion and establishment of the North West Company’s Spokane House in 1810.

OUR SKATE INSTRUCTORS

Morgan L. from Spokane, Washington!

I’m very patient, I understand how difficult skateboarding is, and I have a higher understanding of how to control your skateboard. I’ve ridden for Pistole Boardshop in downtown Spokane for 11 years, and last year I got sponsored by Swell coffee roasters in Spokane Valley. I’ve recently been experimenting with better and less frustrating ways to learn tricks and I’ve had quite a bit of success with it. Not the end of the day I would just love to share the love that I have for skateboarding with other people and show everybody why it’s so great.

Jeff H. from Spokane, Washington!

I have been skating on and off for 20 years with a focus on Street style skating. In the past 10 years, I have focused more on vert skating and park skating. Some of my biggest feats as a skateboarder have been dropping in on a 10-foot half pipe, gaps over 7 stairs, and 5-6 foot drops. On flat ground, I can land, kick flips, hospital, flips, regular and pop shuvs, and heel flips. Currently, I skate every day and focus on learning new tricks constantly. I believe that I’m a good teacher because I have spent the last seven years working as a music instructor and attended college for education with a focus on grades k-12. Through this experience, I’ve gained great patience and diligence in helping people reach their goals, and love the process.

Learn Skateboarding in a Two Week-Long School





Skateboarding is a pastime activity, a work of art, or a method of transportation. Skateboarding has been molded and influenced by many skateboarders throughout the ages. A 2002 report by American Sports Data found there were 18.5 million skaters in the world. 85 percent of skaters polled had used a skateboard in the last year were under the age of eighteen, and 74 percent were male. Those numbers have since doubled. In the coming years the skate parks tripled making skateboarding more accessible as publicly and privately owned parks and indoor parks are coming into the picture.





The most significant change has been the developed 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 as led by X-Games Athletes who are affiliated and instruct for our brand and web site.
