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 […]

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 […]

I spent the 23rd April doing my sports first aid training with the St John’s Ambulance. I’m now a sports first aid qualified skateboarding instructor. I learned the procedures to follow in the event of an accident, and some practical aspects, such as how to do CPR, how to tie a sling and to apply […]

I’m going to have trouble crossing Charlton Park Road on Sunday morning unfortunately! Charlton Park Road is on the London Marathon route from the start at Blackheath, to Woolwich, which means I’m not going to be able to get to the park next Sunday before noon! In lieu of something else to do, I understand […]

Since opening our beginners skateboarding lessonΒ to all ages we’ve had a few parents bringing their family and joining in! Debbie, and Imogen 8, and William 7, joined us on Saturday morning in Charlton Skatepark in London. Whilst admitting to falling over more than the kids (a key part of the lesson of course) Debbie was […]

We were running lessons for festival goers in the Royal Arsenal site of the festival, just down by the river Thames. After padding up, […]

Our first ever girls skateboarding lesson in Charlton Park was a huge success! After requests last year on social media to provide some girls-only lessons, we scheduled some in last week. We had 8 girls in attendance on a bitterly cold morning in February 2018. Despite the cold the girls got into it, and by […]
Continue readingLast year we saw lots of primary aged kids coming along to our skate school, so this year, as well as the girls-only class, we have decided to offer a group skateboarding lesson for those aged 11 and over. We’re hoping this will attract both those who are older and want to learn the basics, […]

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..
These were a new learn for me too π

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
The process of tracking skills and grading for both coach & student is quite clunky because we are using a few systems to do it, but we look forward to joining it up better soon..
