Skateboard Lessons at SPoT

Posted on Friday, April 21, 2023 by Matt Shail

Skateboarding lessons are ideal for beginners, offering fundamental insights into skateboard functionality and guidance in learning tricks. While safety gear is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended and included in the lesson cost. It's important to note that acquiring a few moves during a lesson doesn't guarantee significant improvement each time. Developing skateboarding skills is a lifelong endeavor that demands dedication and patience, with each individual progressing at their own pace. While we're here to assist, it's crucial for skaters to practice outside the skatepark, as improvement will be notably slower without consistent practice!
