I'm a 43-year-old old-school skater.

I have experience skating parks and pools, long distance long boarding, slalom racing and have taught many of my friends how to skateboard throughout my entire life. More recently I have casually instructed friends or children of friends, ages ranging 9-40 years old.

I have been skating for many years and love the inclusion that comes with skateboarding and have always had a love for growing the community in the right ways and showing that learning how to skate can teach you many important life lessons.

To have Konnor as an instructor is a one-of-a-kind skating experience. He always has the student's safety, happiness, and well-being in mind. He has worked and is currently working with GoSkate in Seattle teaching lessons since 2014. He has traveled to cities from Miami to Seattle skating the streets with friends. He has skated all types of terrains ranging from smooth marble surfaces, brick-layered paths, hilly roads, grassy sidewalks, rough cement, and varieties of skatepark courses. Konnor has been skating since 2007 and knows what it is like to first learn how to skate. He has taught himself how to skate so his determination perseverance and ability to have fun while skating is what makes him a great instructor.

Sean first started skateboarding in 1998. With the limited amount of places to skate he leaned toward street skating and frequented local skateparks. Grinds, slides, flip tricks, and transition skating are his specialties. Being a father and older brother he is very good with all ages. He is able to teach beginners to the sport and coach intermediate to advanced skaters who are looking to progress. Training tools are available as an 8ft transformer rail during sessions.

Doug has given lessons before and he likes to teach the basics. He likes to have kids or adults understand the easy tricks come first then into the harder/complex tricks. He intends to teach skaters to be consistent and comfortable through positive feedback constructive criticism and repetition.

I love seeing passionate people succeed! I have a heart for my skate community and want to make an impact somehow. I've been skating on and off since I was little, more consistently in the last 6 years. I skate mostly street but dabble in transition. I think what makes me a great teacher is that I am patient and never get angry or frustrated with people if they don't understand. I simply re-explain until they get it.

Aaron has taught lessons for the City of Mill Creek, the majority were kids/beginners. Taught a range of kids from their very first push to their very first trick. He focused mainly on comfort and confidence when riding the board. Having experience in skateboarding for 26 years, taught him so much that he thinks of giving it back and passing his acquired skills to someone who has the same passion as he does.

Christopher is aware of the necessary techniques in landing a trick successfully. He has keenly observed experts on how they do it and had also got pointers from them directly. He can teach from basic skills to intermediate all the way to advanced.

I started skateboarding when I was 8 years old. Over the past 10 years,, skateboarding has become ingrained into my heart and mind. I remember when I was younger, learning how to do kick flips and treflips in my garage during the winter and how good it felt to accomplish what I saw on the tv screens. Through skateboarding, I have learned the discipline to accomplish goals, build confidence, manage stress, and build meaningful relationships. I would love to impart what skateboarding has taught me to someone who wants to learn what skateboarding is all about. I have 7 years of teaching experience ( 1 year as a skateboard instructor) with people of all ages, I have a medical background as an emt, I also am a social/ relationally oriented person and would love to share our passion for skateboarding!
