The Gaithersburg Skate Park presents the School of Skate, taught by the City's very own private instructors! Through a combination of group and one-on-one instruction, our skate instructors will create a positive environment that will help your child become a safer, better skater. Although the beginner and intermediate clinics cover different skills, the two clinics will occur simultaneously. Coaching will be provided for skaters of all different levels. The beginner clinic, designed for skateboard riders who can maneuver on open flat surfaces, will emphasize tack turns, riding fakie, safe approach to ramps and riding within one's ability. The intermediate clinic, intended for riders who have some experience in a skate park, will focus on dropping in, stalls, grinds, ollies, kick flips and getting air.
Beginner and Intermediate Sessions
Participants are required to bring their own skateboards. Participants must also wear a skate helmet, and the use of elbow and knee pads is strongly recommended. If you do not own gear, protective is equipment available for use during the clinic. Please note that on inclement weather days, skaters will be moved into the Activity Center to participate in fun, skate-related activities.
