Ramp 1 (Beginner) 4:30 - 5:30 pm $135:  Skaters of all ages and ability levels will learn the fundamentals and begin to navigate around the skate park—using appropriate ramps and obstacles as they are ready. Simple tricks are taught in a friendly, supportive, and non-competitive setting. Skaters may advance to Ramp 2 as skills improve.

Ramp 2 (Intermediate) 5:30 - 6:30 pm $135:  Skaters of all ages will learn advanced tricks and maneuvers like full spins (360’s), half spins (180’s), Ollies, Kickflips, Shuvits, 50-50’s, Nosegrinds, and more! Taught by experienced instructors. Intermediate students will come away from this course with a large repertoire of tricks and the skills necessary to compete at the Intermediate level of competition.
