We gave George his own school of skate t-shirt for posterity so he could remember his party! Dell is in the picture presenting it to him. You

This rail will help you get used to feeling your trucks grinding without needing to learn to ollie, or to ride a ramp. This will help for when you are ready to try to ollie onto a rail – you’ll know exactly how it will feel when you do!
We’ll be bringing our learner rail along to our weekend morning skateboard schools. Book our weekend skate school lessons today to try it out. Remember, we provide skateboards & safety gear, and our instructors are fully insured and DBS checked.
