Fences have been pushed down by riders but Charlton skatepark remains officially closed despite government relaxing restrictions on outdoor activity. It seems odd, with many organised training sessions of football, a contact sport, going on at Charlton park that a non-contact sport like skateboarding is still not permitted. You can see the Skateboard England guidance […]

At the end of 2019 we were approached by a mum keen to run skateboarding lessons for a group of children in home education. We duly obliged and set up a regular Tuesday afternoon session for them at Charlton Park. We provided skateboards, pads and helmets where required and we had a range of […]

At the beginning of the month I ran a private lesson with London based professionals Justin and Lingling who are in their mid 20s. We met at Whitegrounds skatepark which is local to them. Whitegrounds is a street style concrete park with plenty of ledges, banks and irregular transitions with some challenging lines. It is […]

This weekend I ran a private skateboard lesson for Isaac, aged 8, at Folkestone gardens skatepark in Deptford. Folkestone gardens skatepark has a lot of transition, and is bowled out at one end. There are more street features at the other with a rail down some stairs. It’s a great park for learning to skateboard.Β We […]

Harrison got a schoolofskate.co.uk T-Shirt and as you can see from the pictures, much fun was had by all. We divided the group up into those who […]

So @dan.skates.london wanted to get some tricks up on the lip in our session, so we went with some layback FS rocks. These are good to learn because they look super steezy but are relatively easy because you get to cheat and use your hands.. you can then work out how to hands free from there..

Sooo this might not look like much but it's the culmination of about four years work.. our student @lianne909 is the first student to pass her beginner grading by using the app π
To graduate she answered a few questions about what she'd learnt and uploaded a clip of #thedropin to her Instagram account. The exclusive School of Skate t-shirt will be sent out shortly with her graduation pack and she can join our progressing group lessons π
