Kevin is 23 years old, he have a progressive muscle disease that only effects his arms and hands, but doesn’t effect his legs at all allowing him to skateboard without issue. It sadly doesn’t allow him to work a traditional job. So he started skating again recently and skates 8-12 hours nearly every single day. Kevin would always available for lessons and is always improving as a result of how much he skates and his passion for improving his craft. He puts safety above all else to begin with, he wears multiple pads and braces for every session he skates. Kevin would be a good instructor because of how much he skates, along with having a very positive and encouraging attitude. He can teach the very basics, street skating, or vert skating, and most importantly he can teach falling correctly to minimize chances of injury. He is a very upbeat and friendly person, who can get along with pretty much everyone, as a result he is extremely easy to work with. He is excellent with young children especially due to his patience, but can still work and deal with people of all ages too. Kevin himself is constantly skating and trying to learn new things and grow as a skater, just as he would help his students do the same. He is very good at breaking things down and explaining things in a simplistic and easy to understand matter. I also feel one of Kevin’s biggest strengths is that he can teach them to recognize their own flaws, so basically why they didn’t land the trick this particular time. So when they are off practicing alone, they can know if this happened that means they did this wrong. It can help them immensely grow as skaters on their own time too, because they can self critique to get tricks down. Kevin has a real passion for skateboarding and dedicates all of his time nearly daily to it and has loved it since he was a kid. Kevin understand the progression and dedication it takes to continually improve and he would love to help others improve and reach their goals and aspirations. Kevin has taught some friends simple things such as dropping in, rock to fakie, kickflips, and then even just basic stuff like kick turns. Kevin is a great person to teach a skater whether the skater has just bought his first board and needs to learn the absolute basics such as; how to balance on it and which stance is natural for him, or for the skater that can ollie and wants to just learn some cool tricks or how to ollie that 4 set of stairs to show off to his friends.
