Never actually given lessons. I could teach a beginer how to ollie of a curb or I could teach an intermediate how to do a 360 kick flip. I am not an advanced skater who goes big in the parks . I am 34 years old and been skating since I was 9 years of age. I used to be sponsered by BC surf and sport in 1992. My brother owns a skateboard shop called brothers boards in Denver so I am around the skateboarding scene and I can refer new skateboarders to my brothers shop and get them layed out with exactly what kind of deck and gear which matches their skill level.
