01 — Pricing & programs
How much do skateboard lessons cost in Denver?
Lessons are $100 per hour for adults, kids, teens, Skater Tots and private coaching. Women's classes are $25 for one hour or $50 for two hours. Retreats and private events are quoted per group.
Can I split a lesson with friends?
Yes. Up to four people can share a single lesson and split the fee between them, which makes it the cheapest way to learn. Inquire for group pricing based on how many riders are sharing.
Do you offer lesson packages?
Yes — a 4-pack of lessons is our most common booking. Inquire for package pricing and we'll put a block together that suits you.
Do I need my own skateboard?
Plan to bring your own if you have one. We do board tune-ups, sizing recommendations and honest advice on gear that actually suits you. Plan to bring your own gear — loaner equipment is only available if you ask the coach ahead of time.
Do you teach skateboarding in the fall and cold weather?
Yes. Fall is one of the best times to skate around Denver — quieter parks and cool, grippy concrete. We schedule sessions for the warmer, drier part of the day, and if rain, snow or ice makes the park unsafe, we'll reach out to reschedule.
Is safety gear required?
Full safety gear is recommended, but not required. We do gear-fit checks and always encourage helmets and pads, especially on ramps. Plan to bring your own gear — loaner equipment is only available if you ask the coach ahead of time.
How old do you have to be to start skateboarding?
Around three. If a child can walk confidently and follow a one-step instruction, our Skater Tots program can teach them. At the other end there's no upper limit — we regularly coach riders in their sixties and seventies.
Am I too old to learn to skateboard?
No. Adults are a large share of who we teach, and adult lessons are coached at an adult pace with plain explanations and no one waiting impatiently behind you.
Do you offer virtual skateboarding lessons?
Yes. Virtual coaching works well for technique review, board setup and progression planning — you send clips, we break them down and give you a practice plan. See the virtual coaching page for how it works.
02 — Booking & logistics
Where do lessons take place?
We coach across 14 Denver metro cities: Arvada, Aurora, Boulder, Broomfield, Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Centennial, Denver, Golden, Greenwood Village, Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Lone Tree, Parker. Each city page lists the exact parks we use and which are best for first-timers.
How do I inquire about lessons?
Send an inquiry through the form on this site with your name, email, phone and the program you're interested in, or email coloradoskateboardinglessons@gmail.com directly. We'll reply within 24–48 hours to discuss your needs.
What should I wear to a skateboard lesson?
Flat closed-toe shoes — skate shoes or plain trainers. Comfortable clothes you can move in, and long trousers if you're nervous about falling. Bring your own helmet and pads, or ask the coach ahead of time about borrowing.
What happens if the weather is bad?
A wet park is genuinely dangerous for a beginner, so we move the session rather than run it — often just an hour later, and on snowy or icy weeks to an indoor spot like SNÖBAHN in Centennial or Thornton. If neither works, we'll set a new time.
Can a whole family learn together?
Yes, and it's one of our most popular bookings. One coach, several family members, each working at their own level, splitting a single lesson fee.
How long until I can actually skate?
Most people are pushing and turning comfortably by the end of the first hour. Confident stopping and riding park terrain usually lands around lesson three or four.
