Skate The Foundry

I started skating again as an adult and was having a hard time feeling safe when committing to tricks. After having a lesson with Hugo, I felt like so much more was possible than I thought and I progressed so much in one lesson! I learned safe ways to work my way up to tricks and walked away from the lesson learning so many new things. Can’t wait for the next lesson!

Andrew was awesome! My 8 year old had his first lesson and even in the cold he was kind energetic and encouraging! My son had a great time and he can’t wait for his next lessson.

Andrew was lovely with my 5-year-old. He was patient and encouraging. He’s a great teacher. He broke down some basic skills into easy steps for him.

Both my kids took a class with Andrew and it was great! He was super patient and worked with both of them and their very different personalities! Looking forward to future lessons!

It was an amazing class and I learned so much so fast! I would totally recommend it for other people if you want to learn what you need to know to go on your own to a skate park, my teacher Hugo was a great instructor and showed me what to do and helped me do it safely! In my class I learned to ollie off tall ledges, practiced lines, and 360 reverts of the pyramid. Hugo showed me how to do it first then I tried and practiced it over again until I was comfortable with it. -Nora W.

Skate the Foundry has provided a wonderful and much-needed outlet for my 10yo daughter during the pandemic when opportunities for youth sports are very limited. She has fallen in love with skateboarding and looks forward to her lessons every week. She did one after-school skate club session as well as private lessons. She has had the opportunity to learn from several teachers, and she has liked them all. And Yui is very responsive and helpful regarding scheduling and setting up lessons et al. We'll definitely continue to sign up for Skate the Foundry programming!

We love Skate the Foundry Skate Camp.  My kids love Andrew.  He is such a great teacher.  It’s so special for them to have this activity during such a stressful pandemic.

During these insane times of the pandemic, skateboarding has to be one of the best options for kids/adults  in terms of sports/exercise/release. It's an individual sport that can be done outdoors where masks and space between peeps can be adhered to during these very strange times.  You can't do that with many of the traditional winter sports.  The Foundry provides a great space (both emotionally and physically) to learn/fail/learn/succeed....kudos to your staff who really are the face of your organization in every way and represent it well from my humble observations.  Thank you for giving our kids a much needed break to be kids for a bit.  Stay safe/be well.

My son Kash LOOOOVEESSS the skateboarding program!! Every instructor was patient with him and showing him “tricks”
Kash will definitely be signing up again!

Andrew has been a wonderful instructor to my 9 year old. She loves it!
