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 survey and study by American Sports Data uncovered there are 18.5 million skateboarders in the world. 85 percent of skateboarders polled who had used a board in the last year were under the age of 18, and 74 percent were male. Those numbers have since doubled. Over time, there are now way more skate parks around. They make skateboarding easier to do because there are both public and private ones, including indoor parks. This means there are lots of cool places to skateboard in the DC area now.

OUR SKATE INSTRUCTORS

Niko D. From Alexandra

Niko is a skater in Alexandria, Virginia. He spent two summers as a skate instructor for American Inline. He taught beginners the fundamentals including safety and basic maneuvers. He also taught intermediate skaters how to turn, pump, drop in, do manuals, and do ollies. The students he taught were from ages 6 to 14 but he is open to teaching any age.

Skateboarding is his passion and he has been skating for the past six years. He is passionate about growing the skate community and is open to anyone who wishes to learn. He is able to teach any style of skateboarding the student would want to learn. Including but not limited to vert, flat-ground, and grinding.

He is an open-minded and patient instructor, who works to build not only skill and understanding but also confidence when skating. He also has a good sense of humor and works hard to make it a fun learning environment. He can be found skating in the D.C. area and is most frequently found at Wakefield in Annandale, Schuyler Skatepark in Alexandria, and Powhatan Springs in Arlington. When he is not skating, he will be attending NOVA Community College as a Sophomore. His schedule for teaching is very flexible. During these uncertain times, Niko will also be fully following all CDC guidelines for safety.

Jonathan M. from Rockville, Maryland

My name is Jonathan and I’ve been skating for over 20 years. I love all styles of skateboarding and have competed in bowl and slalom contests. My journey into teaching skateboarding started when I moved from Maryland to Southern California and worked at the world-famous Vans skatepark in 2007. I also got to work with star education and was a volunteer instructor with the a.Skate Foundation (autism. Skating with kids through acceptance, therapy, and education). I learned how to skate when I was 12 years old and have loved it ever since.

To me skateboarding is more than a hobby or sport, it’s a creative outlet and a genuine art form. Over the years I’ve made some amazing friends of all ages and genders, some of which are professional skaters that have become mentors to me. My main passion in life is to share the stoke and to teach others how skateboarding can shape your life in a very positive way.
