Renowned for working with children and young people, LS-TEN Skatepark in Hunslet has now started a new training course for adults.
The six week course will teach anyone over 20 all the basics before getting to grips with some skatepark obstacles. The LS-TEN coaches will work with you at your pace to ensure a positive start in skating, they will even lend you the equipment if you it.
Tosh Wilson from LS-TEN said:
“We’re seeing more and more adults getting into skating. Whether you’re completely new to skating or you’ve got a board and you’ve started figuring things out, this course is for you!”
The course starts next Tuesday (19 March 2024) and the weekly sessions run from 5:45-6:45pm. The cost is £80 for the whole course and you can book here: ls-ten.org/adult-beginner-skateboarding
