Family lessons

Jean-François Picard

While visiting Avignon, I booked a skate lesson almost by chance with Old Skullz Skateboard for my 13-year-old son and myself. Max is a great teacher: passionate, patient, clear and, above all, really friendly. He puts you at ease and adapts to every level. We had a brilliant time, learned loads and I even picked up a few bruises along the way 😅 With my new tricks, I think I've reached my goal: becoming the coolest dad at the skatepark 😆 My son left with plenty of tips and even more motivation to progress! A wonderful discovery I'd recommend without hesitation. Thanks again Max for the great time, the loan of the boards and the stickers 🙂 See you next time! 🛹

Mental preparation

Elodie Mistral

Max is an incredible coach! Admiring his passion and desire to teach children with respect and kindness, I wanted to try the experience myself, despite feeling very apprehensive. He was reassuring and helped me feel confident. I'm grateful for his expertise: he found the right words to help me have a great time! Afterwards I also benefited from his personalised mental coaching, which I highly recommend. Thank you Rise and Grind Coaching!

Skate Camps

C8 LPR

My son attended the Barcelona Skate Camp. It's an exceptional experience that goes far beyond skateboarding: a real sporting and human adventure. Beyond the quality of teaching, it's the philosophy and values shared with young people that make the difference. Max supports them daily with kindness and high standards, fostering mutual support, team spirit, independence, perseverance and confidence. My son came back having grown both as a skater and as a person. A huge thank you to Max from Old Skullz Skateboard for this quality coaching. An experience I recommend without hesitation!

Starting as an adult

wary chloé

Max is the boss! In 3 days I levelled up like never before. I had no experience and lots of enthusiasm, and Max guided me towards skating and those first sensations. From the bowl to the ollie, we unlocked things step by step. Feeling a little more airborne each day was phenomenal. I'm 30 and felt like I was living the best days of being 16. Thank you and long live Old Skullz ✌🏼

Confidence

Julie In The City

An original trip built around a shared passion for teens, turning a simple holiday into a real life experience. Zach came back with more confidence, independence, enjoyment of skating and motivation for everything… Thank you Max for such personalised and open-minded support. Great job 🛹

A shared experience

Alex Nebout

Our son (13) spent a week at Skate Camp in Barcelona with Old Skullz. Not usually a fan of holiday camps, he went without really knowing what to expect… and came back more than delighted. He progressed in skateboarding and had an exceptional week, making real new friends and sharing great moments and values. He returned more mature, fulfilled and full of memories! Max was far more than a supervisor: like a big brother or mentor, sharing values, personal growth, the drive to push yourself and skate culture. Our son has already asked to go on another camp. Highly recommended!

Coaching & enjoyment

Olivier ROBERT

My 11-year-old son came back so happy after his week! I recommend Old Skullz and Max's supervision 100%. He had “the best week of his life” at Skate Camp in Barcelona! A great group of friends, skating all day, brilliant technical and mental advice to progress while keeping it fun! All he talks about is going back!
