Coach Evan, head coach at Rocky Mountain Shred School

Evan · Head Coach

Who's teaching

30 years on a board.
Now coaching yours.

Evan is a professional skateboarder with more than 30 years of riding — a world-traveled demo rider, skatepark builder, and the coach who performed the opening demo at Egypt's first skatepark.

He built Rocky Mountain Shred School because most skate instruction is aimed only at kids. Here, a 45-year-old learning to push gets the same structured coaching as a 9-year-old learning to drop in.

The community

Skating isn't
just for kids

Nearly a third of our riders are adults — parents who started while waiting for their kid's lesson, women picking it up in their forties, and people who skated in the nineties and want it back.

Sessions are grouped by ability, not age, so you're always learning next to people at your level.

What progress actually looks like

Zach came in unable to push. This is a few months of consistent coaching.

From first push
to full send

Every rider gets a written progression plan, so you can see exactly what's next — not just show up and hope.

Reviews

What riders and parents say

"I'm 27 and Evan turned me into a confident skater in eight months. Patient, safety-first, and he pushes me exactly the right amount."

Dr. Jessy P.
Adult student

"My daughter landed her first ollie in three lessons. What sold me was how seriously they take safety and gear."

Sarah M.
Parent

"I skated as a teenager and assumed I'd missed my window at 41. Two months in, I'm dropping in again."

Marcus R.
Adult student

"The coaches actually make my kid want to try again after falling. That's the whole thing, really."

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do you really teach adults?+

Yes — adult beginners are one of our largest groups. Sessions are grouped by ability, so you'll be learning alongside people at your level, not surrounded by kids.

What ages do you teach?+

Ages 3 through 70+. Skater Tots covers the little ones, kids and teens have their own structured track, and adults have theirs.

Do we need our own board?+

Not necessarily. We do board tune-ups, sizing recommendations and honest advice on gear that actually suits you. Sometimes there is extra equipment available, but you should plan to bring your own. Bring water and flat closed-toe shoes.

Where do lessons happen?+

Vetted Denver-area skateparks chosen for skill level, with indoor options when weather turns.

What if I've never stepped on a board?+

That's the most common starting point. The first session covers stance, pushing, stopping and falling safely.

How much do skateboard lessons cost?+

$100 per hour for adults, kids, teens and Skater Tots. Women's classes are $25 for one hour or $50 for two. Up to four people can split a single lesson fee, and a group of four saves $50.
