IMPORTANT CLASS INFO
This year our mini ramp is located outdoors so all ramp classes are subject to weather restrictions. If the team find the weather unsafe to skate in we will do our best to delay the session to a later / more suitable time but the instructors reserve the right to cancel sessions if it is unsafe to skate.
Skateboarding classes and workshops are free but sign up is required to attend. You don’t have to sign up for the open skate sessions. Just check the schedule and drop by!
If you sign up please make sure you attend as this is a very popular class so your spot is very in demand!
Please show up to your workshop 15 minutes early so we can get rolling on time!
PLEASE NOTE that to book a class you must already be a ticket holder for the event & you can only sign yourself up to a class (friends must sign up for themselves even if you purchased a ticket on their behalf - this gives everyone a fair chance to bag the class they want) .
Please also remember that you can only book on this class once per person to give a chance to everyone who would like to attend to book in. Thanks!
