MORE USEFUL INFO:

We start at age 5. No experience necessary. Our instructors tailor the lesson to the individual. We start with the basics outside, like foot placement, balance, pushing and “tick-tacking”, with an emphasis on safety and sidewalk etiquette.

We have an indoor 1/2-pipe that we use to further build upon what they learn on the street. Our “typical” lesson is 1/2 outside, 1/2on the ramp. Lessons available for our Los Altos location only.

Lessons are by appt. and typically available 7 days/wk. We allow skaters to reserve as many lessons as they have available on their prepaid lesson pack.
