Skateboard Class if taught would be in the Spring 2012



I along with Gary Holl founder of Board Rescue have taught a few classes that filled up quickly. We enjoyed teaching the classes and have had many parents and friends ask if we would do it again. It is a big commitment since you have to fill out a 5 page form, plan it 8 months ahead and I have always made good swag sticker bags and a signed Skate certificate per each student. I've asked all the local shops to offer a discount for that week which they all have. (Much appreciated.) We have taught a Slide Class with Cliff Coleman and slalom Class at Pacific Collegiate School, and a beginning class at the Santa Cruz Skatepark. Big kudo's to all of the skaters that let us take over the park and respected the little ones. And to my many friends that have helped teach the class and give up a skate day which I know is a big deal when you work all week and give up a day for young tikes that aren't even your own. I will turn away any Mothers that try and drop off their child who isn't signed up. You know who you are and shame on you for doing that and putting your child in that uncomfortable position and putting me on the spot as well. I'm not taking in flakes if I teach again. I have a poll to see which kind of class and if I get enough interest. Thanks.

Santa Cruz Parks and Recreation skateboard class March 1, 2008.
We will meet at the front right side of the street course area instead of the flat hockey area. It seemed to work out better for everyone last class.

Here is the phone number to call to sign up. 420-5270
Last class had 9 people on the waiting list and number 10 called me direct. Please sign up early as I'd like to keep the class small so we can work with each skater individually.

Beginning Skateboard Class Santa Cruz Park


Yesterday's class was amazing! It was the first beginning skateboard class Gary and I had done for Santa Cruz Parks and Rec. We had 11 kids ages 5-9 signed up with an adult female. I found out on Friday that I had 9 more on a waiting list. Father of child number 10 called me directly at work (small town). We had a good early start at 9:00 am the weather was perfect and the local skaters were respectful and patient with us taking over sections of the park. It was great to see the kids learn to fakie in the little pool. Learning the feeling of going back and forth and teaching them balance and how by bending the knees and straightening up they could get some momentum. We even got the kids in the full pipe and big pool. They were in awe of the size and the echo inside. The smiles say it all.
I want to Thanks Drew for driving all the way to SC even though he had a birthday for his niece to attend. Also Mike for helping and all the other parents that gave a hand. We learned that we need more skate teachers and a bit shorter class session. We enjoyed teaching the class and will do it again!

Skateboarding Beginning Class Nov. 3


Skateboarding Beginning

Description:
Join world-class slalom racers Gary Holl and Judi Oyama for this one-day beginning skateboarding workshop at the new Ken Wormhoudt Skate Park. This class is to help the first time park rider understand the basics of turning and doing kick turns on a banked surface. We will start out in the flat roller hockey area and work our way over to the street course. Students will be divided into different levels based on experience. Parents are welcome to give it a try as well. Skateboarders should be able to stand on the skateboard with balance. Bring your own skateboard. Helmets, knee pads and elbow pads required.


Put this on your calendar! Only two spots left.
