I started skateboarding on a plastic skateboard around 1983 and shortly after began my journey into the world of skateboarding when I got my first used pro deck (Mark "Gator" Rogowski). I quickly learned the difference between commercial and professional skateboard parts so I was well known as it was still the early stages of professional skateboarding. I was mostly a street skater which consisted of anything you could think of that was in the city. My experience started with streets, launch ramps, pools, and mini-ramps, and eventually, skateparks became more accessible. Over the years I have skated in amateur CASL contests, became friends and skated with pros, was filmed and filmed other skaters for video parts, skated in different countries, had a photo session with Thrasher Magazine photographer Joel Cherry, and was current with new tricks, made my own skateboard design for Basic Skateboards (which became their #1 selling deck), had many sponsors like Fat Albert Clothing, local skate shops, Zorlak, Basic, Venture Trucks, etc... I teach skateboarding to people of all ages as a courtesy when I am out and someone needs help to learn. I am a teacher by nature which includes subjects: Math, Special Needs Classroom Assistant, Robotic Engineering, Language Arts, Chess, and more. I have been skateboarding for over 30 years, so with my passion to teach and skate I will get the job done with some fun and with precision.

Hey there! I'm Christian your future skate instructor! Let's get on the board and learn some tricks. I would love to teach you how to skate and show you different techniques to get better at Skateboarding. I was once a beginner, and trust me…. it took a lot of time and effort to get where I'm at, especially without a skate instructor. But now I can be your instructor and you can learn tricks faster with my tips; so let's have an awesome and productive time together

Hello! My name is Charlotte Cuevas and I have been skating for 5 consecutive years. Skateboarding has always been my go-to hobby and coping mechanism as an outlet for when things get rough. Not only has it provided me with a healthy and outdoorsy activity, but it has taught me patience, resilience, and visualization. I have taught many local people how to skate and love giving tips to anyone that I see struggling at my local park (Rengstorff). I have two younger nephews so I know all about patience and understanding when it comes to teaching younger skaters. I try to understand the learning styles of my students so that I can try to explain things in a way that will seem logical and fun for their best understanding. I would try my best to relate to my students as I am quite friendly and love to crack people up! I could also teach them about the creative aspect of skating, such as the customization that goes into the skateboard and gear itself. I have experience both in basic and some advanced tricks. I love watching skating videos with my friends and I love Deathwish, Toy machine, Bronson Speed Co, and Creature skateboards I have a wide knowledge of skateboard parts and their setup. I currently ride a 6.5 Welcome board, Clear MOB grip, Bronson G3 Pro bearings, and 56 mm spitfire conical fulls, I skate all the time and the pandemic hasn't affected me much since I often skate by myself in secluded areas so as to not bother or disturb people, plus I wear a mask and sanitize my hands habitually. I like visiting different parks throughout the Bay Area and am open to teaching virtually anywhere that's in the area. I am looking forward to teaching as many people as I can about my passion and to join this wonderful community!

I've been skateboarding for about 11 years now and it has been extremely beneficial for my mental and physical health. Skateboarding has helped me with anxiety and taught me patience when I needed it most. It is one of my passions and I am grateful to be able to share my experience and knowledge of it with others so they too can experience the beauty of it. I have and still do teach my younger cousins and nephew skateboarding. I enjoy watching their progression it's exciting to see how quickly they catch on. Also, it's nice seeing them having fun outside instead of being glued to a screen watching TikTok sure it's a lot more rewarding for them. I have lots of patience and love for learning as well as skateboarding I understand the difficulty that's involved and the frustration it can cause but I am ready and willing to help every step of the way so many more people can enjoy this beautiful sport.

Manuel has taught a range of kids from their very first push to their very first Ollie. He can teach from basic skills to intermediate all the way to advanced. He has lived the lifestyle of a skateboarder since he learned to stand on his board and ride on his own.

Mike spent most of his time at skateparks helping friends figure out how to do tricks and do other stuff. He has advanced ledge/rail tricks down 5050 5/0 nosegrind crook board slide (front and back) f/s and b.s 180s (nollie as well) fakie flips kickflips 360shuvs/nollie tre shuvs. His experience with skateboarding made him understand the logistics of basic skateboarding.

I have been skating for over 10 years I do it for the love and I can do the basics to advanced tricks and whatnot so yea if you want to learn how to ollie or trey flip I'm your guy. I have been doing skateboard lessons for kids, adults, and young adults so I am confident that I can help you move forward with your skateboarding and you will take advantage of any lessons that you purchase and that I teach you.

I've been instructing skateboarding lessons for just about 5 years now. I can hold full camps up to 15 student

I've been skating for 7 years and have always been teaching myself, then I thought, what if I had the chance to teach the youth how to do what I love the most?! I'll take that risk and apply for it immediately. If they enjoy it as much as I do it shouldn't be any kind of problem getting along and teaching them.

I have been a teacher for multiple kids and even grown adults for skateboarding and I totally enjoyed it. I can do just about every trick in the book be it basic trick or advanced. I have extensive knowledge of the sport and pretty much knew everything there is that needs to be known.
