I usually give these private lessons in low traffic places like the DMV in El Cerrito on the weekends and even the North Berkeley bart station. Places like these seem to be the most suitable for beginner skateboarders before gaining the awareness and confidence of skating at a skate park. Lessons can also be arranged at the Berkeley skate park as well.
I see skateboarding as an alternative to mainstream sports. Education is very important to me so incorporating life skills as well as skateboarding fundamentals and helping skaters reach their goals safely in a fun environment is the ultimate goal here!
Below is more about what I offer!
I provide skateboarding lessons for those 6 and up.
For beginners my main focus is the fundamental basics of maintaining balance on a skateboard first. Then you have kick pushing, kick turns, and also tic tacking. From there on ollies, shuvits, kickflips and so on for those intermediate/advanced.
I include a range of things for example:
Anatomy of a skateboard
Rider stance
Foot placement
Weight distribution
Turning
Leaning
Stopping......etc
