Choose a Seasoned Veteran - Reasonable Rates

Over 30 years of skateboard lesson instruction all over the U.S. and parts of Europe. 40 plus years of riding downhill, parks and flatland freestyle. At the age of 53, and still aggressively skating 5-7 times a week, his goal is to provide a fundamental understanding of the Basics of Riding. Chris is not your average instructor. He's a coach that inspires and is quick to point out basic balance techniques required for simply riding your board. Save the tricks until later. Get familiar with your board so that it is a second thought to cruise. Once you have your balance, skateboard parks nd downhill speed runs may be your next adventure!

If you've never ridden a board, Chris can lead the way. For him, the less you know, the better you may advance as long as one is in good shape, good spirit and ready to go for it!

For the more advanced needing that little kick in the seat to drop into bowls and get 50-50's down, Chris will be right there with you dropping/rolling in, catching air and grinding. Base rate is 45.00 for one person(first 30 minutes) 15.00 more for full hour and 5.00 extra per person up to 4.

Any ability can benefit from his instruction.

AS of Nov. 2, 2008, when I turned 54 :) I'm giving impromptu switch stance, push and carve lessons and demos. Email me here for more info. Obviously, you'll have to be in San Diego to take advantage of this offer. You will also need to get to Pacific Beach and Mission Beach for the freebies. If 2 or more are gathered for a switch carve, push, pump and stance seminar, I will be there with schwag and good vibes for those eager to learn. If you're a primma donna thinking you're the cats pajamas of skateboarding that poo poo's this area of skating, you'll be skewled! Just bring your funky attitude out for an adjustment :) .
