Street Skate Workshops
Now that there is a regular Brighton Street Skate many people are wanting to hone their skills to be read to join this event every week of the summer. Skating for transport poses some problems initially; dealing with rougher surfaces, paving slabs, obstacle and learning how to safely skate curbs. Skatefresh offers one-off street skating classes to cover there and other issues, preparing you for solo street skating and making you more road worthy. Classes are only scheduled when we have several people interested so let us know if you want to join a future group.

Cost: £15 (for 1.5hrs). Contact asha@skatefresh.com if your interested in this course
