We meet at a park that is best for your learning level — Golden for most riders, Arvada when you're ready for more terrain.

Our Golden location inside Lions Park. Beginners work the flat and small banks first; the shallow end of the bowl is where we introduce transition once the basics click.
Tell us your level — or that you have no idea — and we choose the park and the section of it that fits. Beginners start on flat ground away from traffic, every time.
02
Gear check first
We size your board and pads before anyone rolls an inch, and adjust trucks and wheels if something's fighting you. Bring your own gear if you have it; tell the coach ahead of time if you don't.
03
One skill per session
Pushing, turning or stopping — we drill one thing until it's automatic rather than touching six things badly. That's how progress actually sticks.
04
You leave with homework
Every session ends with one or two things to practise on your own, so the time between lessons keeps paying off.

What skating in Golden is actually like
Altitude and sun
Golden sits right at the foothills, and the sun is strong. Summer sessions run early or late, and we build in water breaks for every rider.
Students and newcomers
Mines students and people new to Colorado often want a sport that doubles as a way to meet people. Small-group sessions are a good way in.
Riders come to us from Downtown Golden, Golden Gate Canyon area, Mesa Meadows, Applewood and everywhere in between.
