Alex has skated for 7 years and continues to do so. He is an intermediate level skateboarder himself, and retains the ability to do intermediate level tricks (ollie, kickflip, heelflip, 360 flip), as well as performing all of them in the switch stance. He is a college student with a great deal of responsibility and is incredibly family oriented. He is good with kids, and retains a great deal of patience for those that may not learn quickly. He would be honest in his opinion regarding whether or not the student is progressing at a reasonable pace for the amount of lessons provided or if there should be more practice/time dedicated outside of lessons in order to see improvement.
