Goals: The goals of the First Timers group lessons include gaining familiarity with the board and skate park, learning to push, making turns, and minor adjustments. All First Timers should reach an increased level of comfort in riding. As their comfort level increases, so will the potential for progress. The ultimate goal for all skateboarders is to progress at a level at which he/she feels comfortable.
Skills: The only skills required are the desire to listen, learn, and participate. The ability to get along with others is essential, and the basic rules of safety, good sportsmanshop, and fun always apply.

The lesson will focus on the fundamentals for continuing progression as skilled skateboarders.

Goals: The primary goal for the Beginner 1 classes is the ability to ride a skateboard through areas of the skate park designated for beginners. Instructors will demonstrate riding on transitions and banked surfaces; skaters will attempt these maneuvers as well. Participants will focus on increasing their familiarity with the board and reaction to changes in terrain. This will foster skill progression and build their level of comfort.
Skills: The desire to listen, learn, and participate is required. Those joining the class should already be able to stand on a board while moving, even if slowly, with modest level of comfort.
- BEGINNER 2 -
Class Description: Pre-requisites for the class include one or more experiences at the skate park or other type of skateboard-specific terrain. Participants will explore all areas of the park to increase familiarity and skill. Skaters will learn style and technique necessary to increase their skills to the appropriate levels for Beginner 2. This includes transition riding, pumping, and dropping in.
Goals: The main goals of the Beginner 2 classes are to gain familiarity with all areas of the park and increase the ability to ride comfortably at a moderate speed. Participants will learn how to approach bowls, transitions, and banks at their specific level of comfort. Pumping transitions are crucial in this class.
Skills: As always, the desire to listen, learn, and participate is required. Skaters should already have the ability to ride comfortably on beginner terrain, handle the board on banks and turns, and have the desire to approach the next level of terrain. |
