A LIFETIME ON FOUR WHEELS.
Evan is a professional skateboarder with 30 years on a board. He's coached everyone from four-year-olds landing their first tic-tac to parents in their forties dropping into their first mini-ramp. There's no "too old" and there's no "too shy" — just the next thing you haven't tried yet. Nothing about a session is stressful: the learning is playful and gamified, broken into small wins, and paced so that progress feels inevitable rather than earned through gritted teeth.
He's traveled the world giving demonstrations with multiple skate companies, and helped design and build new skateparks in communities that needed them most. One of his proudest moments: performing a live demo at the first skatepark in Egypt.
Back home in Denver, Evan pours all of that into Colorado Skateboarding Lessons — formerly known as Rocky Mountain Shred School — coaching adults, women, teens, kids and little ones across the metro. You'll be hard-pressed to find a more approachable, empowering skateboarding educator anywhere in Colorado.

THREE THINGS, EVERY LESSON.
Fun First
Playful, gamified learning — never stressful. Skateboarding should feel like recess, not homework.
Safety Always
Pads, helmets, park etiquette, and progressions that meet skaters exactly where they are.
Confidence Built
Perseverance, resilience, facing fears, balance, focus — the tricks are just the delivery system.
CONFIDENCE ON FOUR WHEELS.
"I learned a lot with Coach Evan and would definitely recommend him to others. For starters, he helped me build more confidence on my longboard. I started out mostly as a newbie at age 26, after only skating a handful of times growing up.
I learned how to skate safely to prevent injuries and falls. I also learned a lot of skills, from simple stuff like how to get on and off the board and how to stand on it, to learning different turns like figure 8’s and circles, how to stop in different ways, going into bowls and down ramps or steps, and much more, like doing downhill slalom.
He also educated me on how my board works and I even got to practice on a new kind of board of his called the surf skateboard, which I plan to get in the future. He also helped guide me on how to build strength and stretch out since I’m currently skateboarding to get into shape. My confidence grew in the park because I had a friendly and professional teacher to guide me.
WE ALL LEARN FROM PEOPLE BETTER THAN US.
Skateboarding is the rare thing where a nine-year-old and a sixty-nine-year-old learn the same trick on the same day, and neither of them finds that strange. Intergenerational learning isn't a programme here — it's just what happens at the park.
Our riders range from three to seventy-plus. The older ones bring patience, the younger ones bring nerve, and everybody progresses by watching someone slightly better than they are.
TUTORING TOO?
Skate school isn't just skate school. Evan offers tutoring for students who need a little extra help with school — because a confident kid at the desk is a confident kid at the park.
