1. Intro to Skateboarding

Ever wanted to learn how to ride a skateboard to get around? Now is the time! You don’t have to be a kid or do crazy stunts to experience the flow of cruising down the sidewalk on a skateboard. If you practice yoga you’ve already got a head start with balance and flexibility. Intro to Skateboarding is a 4-week series being taught by veteran skateboarder and fellow yoga practitioner Kevin Banahan. He will assume no prior experience and cover fundamentals such as stance, pushing, turning and stopping. Specifically designed to teach adult beginners, this class will show you how to stand on the board, ride, navigate around the cracks, curbs and pedestrians of Brooklyn sidewalks. He will offer skateboards for purchase or rental to class participants.

To reserve your spot and request equipment please RSVP with Kevin at kbanahan@gmail.com (or if you have any other questions). Enrollment is limited so sign up today!

Details:
4 Saturdays starting May 18, from 10-11:30am at the Brower Park skate area (St. Marks b/w Brooklyn and Kingston).

What to expect:
A typical class will start with a 10 minute warm-up, followed by a demonstration and group lesson on a key topic. Then there will be an open practice where Kevin can give personalized advice.

What to wear:
Dress like a skater! Any loose, comfortable clothing will be fine. Typical skateboarder fashion is jeans and a t-shirt (and long sleeve shirt if it’s cold). Keep in mind you may be on the ground or sitting on your skateboard for lessons so don’t wear anything too nice. For footwear, any flat soled sneakers will do. Even running shoes work. No flip-flops!

What to bring:
Keep it simple! Some water and the bare essentials is best.

Before class:
As with any exercise, it’s best not to eat right before class.

Equipment:
A special complete skateboard is available to class participants for $100
Rental boards will be available for $5 per class
Pad sets (wrist, elbow, knee) will also be available for purchase for $25

2. Open-level Skate Class

The open-level class is designed as a continuation of the Intro series for students who want to keep practicing their skateboarding in the class environment. If you’ve never tried skateboarding the intro series is recommended but if you’d like give it a shot you’re welcome to drop-in.
