Our teaching approach:
the skater as a whole.
Learn a movement, understand what's holding you back, regain confidence. At Old Skullz, progress connects work on the board with physical and mental preparation.
The pleasure of putting them into practice.

A skater needs guidance.
The right starting point depends on you: your basics, your experience, your goal and how you feel during your sessions.

Progress also happens outside the skatepark. The Academy lets you revisit a useful pointer, consult a resource and prepare a question between sessions, with no registration required.
Useful questions
Before we start.
Do I need to know how to skate already?
You can start from scratch. The Getting Started pathway takes you through equipment, stance, pushing, stopping, changing direction and then finding your way around the skatepark.
Is this approach also for adults?
Yes. Adults starting out or returning to skating can find an approach suited to their experience and pace. Lessons and the Return to Skating pathway help you choose a starting point.
Can you make progress remotely?
The Academy gives you access to online pathways and resources. For personalised feedback, online coaching and video analysis let you discuss your skating.
How do you choose the right support?
Tell us where you’re at, what you want to work on and any constraints you have. We can point you towards lessons, a Skate Camp or online support.
