This comprehensive program not only gives you the skills to break down any skate park move in easy to learn steps, but includes training to help students navigate skate parks safely and provide help them learn with confidence regardless of level. You should be well versed in the ramps, and while we recommend that you take the Level 1 Certification first, it is not required.
