Hi, I am J. I am a Concordia student in Montreal. I have been skating for 5 years and the passion doesn’t seem to fade. I would love people to know this sport and try it out with my support. The one thing I love about skateboarding is that I can hop on the board and cruise around downtown Montreal without having to worry about gas, parking, and finding new spots to do some tricks. My main goal is to make sure you gain the confidence to skate on the street of Montreal SAFELY. |

Jarrett is a long time skateboarder with in-depth knowledge of how to use a board and use it safely. He doesn’t fall much or cause injury to himself, because throughout his skate career he has learned to fall correctly, wear protective gear, insight on how to keep balance even when going at high speeds, and ways to do tricks in a way that will have a less likely chance of hurting himself and others around him. He is able to teach the basics and also more advanced techniques to better help understand and/or just feel comfortable on the board. He has knowledge and able to teach students to have situational awareness in all sorts of environments from skate parks to street skating. For him, being an instructor means teaching students the value, positives/negatives, of skating in a safe and controlled environment until they are ready for the next step, to take on parks by themselves and feel comfortable and eventually they will feel better about them going out and skating! Parents (if the students are still to young to be out by themselves), our mission is to keep you’re child safe and supervised the entire time, to make sure you are with us every step of the way, we want you to be just as happy with us as the student is, Skateboarding is all about happiness, building friendships, learning that struggling is a part of life and makes you stronger and to keep pushing through everyday and not to give up! |

I am a lifelong skateboarder. After more than 25 years of pushing wood, I can proudly say that I’m part of a global community of skateboarders upholding an unspoken creed of friendship, achievement, and style. I’ve skateboarded at nearly 100 different skateparks around the world, and have never lost a trick. Pushing 40, I am still learning to this very day. I could think of nothing better than to have the opportunity to impart my experience, wisdom, and passion for this sport on to the next generation. |
