Dont worry, you’re in safe hands. Here at Skatefresh we will transform your first shaky steps into confident strides and before you know it you will be strutting your funky stuff down Serpentine Road. All our instructors are ICP qualified and have a wide experience of teaching different levels. You have several options as a Gumbie, (skate lingo for beginner); 3 Week SkateSchool for beginners, 1/2 Day Beginner course or Private Instruction.

We also offer 3 week Skateschool for Improvers. Beginners can’t stop well and want to start from the beginning. Improvers can stop a bit but maybe not in all circumstances such as high speeds, down hills etc. That’s a good basic guide to which level you are.
