In 1905, several University of Detroit footballl players, led by Bill Marshall, organized the Heralds as an amateur team after the University did not field a squad due to financial issues.

Those numbers have since doubled. In the coming years the skate parks tripled making it more accessible as publicly and privately owned parks and indoor parks are becoming a reality.

    OUR SKATE INSTRUCTORS

    Chandler F. from Harper Woods, Michigan!

    Hello, my name is Chandler, I’ve been skateboarding for almost 16 years. My passion for skateboarding began when I was 3 with my first board; ever since that day, I haven’t put my board down once. I also currently collect skateboards of all kinds from old to modern. (Weirdest one is a skateboard with 14 wheels!) My passion and love for skateboarding are still growing every individual day. I spent a few summers at my local skate park during their summer camps, and they would have me help teach because I was there every day. I also did one on one classes with kids I met there as volunteer work because I enjoy skating and helping others learn to love it as well. Willing to work with and tutor all ages! I can teach at Landslide Skatepark, Modern, Oakland Vert, and Ride It Sculpture Park.

    Andrew J. from Royal Oak, Michigan!

    Andrew has a good attitude and loves to work with kids and skate. Training is a broken-down-into-pieces process for him. Starting with the movement, the mechanics, and then the full action. Skating for 10+ years gives Andrew a perspective into your kid’s mentality and thought process when it comes to tackling difficult movements. It can be frustrating but they are sure to have fun and have persistence when they see their rapid process.
