Beginner-friendly skateboard lessons in Boulder for adults, students, teens and kids at Scott Carpenter Park — coached by a 30-year skater.
Skateboarding lessons in Boulder are coached by Evan, who has 30 years on a board. One lesson can be split between up to four friends. We coach ages 3 to 70+ and meet at Boulder Skate Park at Scott Carpenter Park, choosing the park that best fits your level.
Boulder's public skate park sits inside Scott Carpenter Park at 30th and Arapahoe, between the pool and the playground. It's the natural meeting point for Boulder lessons: central, on RTD routes, and surrounded by open grass where parents can wait.
We coach adults who always wanted to learn, CU students looking for a new way to get around, and kids who need someone patient to show them the basics properly.
Boulder riders climb, run and ride bikes — skateboarding is often the one sport they never had anyone teach them. We coach it the same structured way: balance and stance first, then pushing, turning and stopping, then the park.
Real public parks with real addresses. We meet at whichever one suits your level — tap Directions for the map.
Our Boulder location. City-run, free and unsupervised, open dawn to dusk. The city asks riders not to skate on wet concrete, so we watch the forecast and reschedule when rain or snow hits.

Directions →Where Boulder riders go for more terrain once the basics are solid.
Directions →Your coach meets you at a specific meeting point — with a photo sent beforehand — at whichever park suits your level. No wandering a busy skatepark looking for someone.
Board fit, stance check, pads sorted. Plan on your own board and gear; if you're missing something, flag it when you book and we'll work it out.
Skills get taught as challenges and games — fun, friendly, and quietly structured so you're always a small step past comfortable.
For riders past the basics, we film key attempts so you can see exactly what changed between the try that failed and the one that didn't.
Boulder's park posts a clear rule: no skating on wet surfaces. Front Range weather turns fast, so we pick morning or midday slots after the sun has dried things out.
The park has RTD access, which matters in a college town. Teens and students can get to a lesson without a ride.
Riders come to us from Baseline, Martin Acres, Table Mesa, North Boulder and everywhere in between.
