FAQs

First-timers

What’s the minimum age to learn skateboarding?

We welcome kids as young as five years old.

Is there a trial lesson?

We offer trial lessons to help you kickstart your skateboarding journey.
Each Trial Lesson is $45 per student with a duration of 45 min long. Trial Lessons are group lessons (maximum 3 students per instructor). 

It is compulsory to join the trial lesson for all first-timers with PVS.

What do I need to bring for lessons?

You’ll need your own skateboard, helmet and protective gear, a towel and water to keep yourself hydrated.

*If you do not have a skateboard, you may rent a skateboard for the Trial Lesson (only) at $10 per board for first timers only. Kindly include this request into 'Notes' section when you confirm your lessons. *Subject to availability*

What should I wear?

Our lessons are conducted outdoors at skateparks, so pick something comfortable, breathable and can provide a wide range of motion. We strongly encourage you to come in long pants - to prevent abrasions when you fall - and soft-soled shoes. Sports shoes are highly discouraged as the soles are thick and uneven.

Lessons

What packages are available?

We have two-lesson packages for both Beginner and Intermediate levels.

Once the package commence, you will not be able to modify your lessons date. 

The package has to be utilised within 2 months from date of purchase. You can purchase multiple packages for one account.

How do I book lessons?

We will release the schedule for the week every Sunday, 2PM. To get your preferred slot for the week, we highly recommend that you log in and book your lessons early.

Select type of lesson, choose your preferred coach, select your preferred date and time, confirmation of lesson dates and final payment.

You will receive a confirmation email on your lessons. 

You can book your lessons up to 24 hours before the start of the lesson.

What if the lesson slot I want is fully booked?

Drop us a message to include yourself in the waitlist.

How many students are there in a group lesson?

We keep to a maximum of 3 students per instructor for safety reasons. This will also ensure that each student gets the instructor’s fullest attention to make it a fulfilling lesson.

Where are lessons held?

Lessons are currently held at Somerset Skate Park (1 Somerset Rd, Singapore 238162)  Nearest MRT station: Somerset.

We do not offer lessons outside of the skate park

Can I request for a particular instructor for private lessons?

Yes, you may. Simply search for preferred instructor’s lessons under the Schedule tab or drop us a WhatsApp message if you need further assistance.

What will I learn in the Beginner Lessons?

Our friendly instructors will equip you with the basics that includes helping you find your stance (goofy or regular) and guiding you to balance and maneuver with confidence. After about 4 lessons, you can also expect to learn basic tricks!

How many lessons do I require to be able skate?

On average, you should be able to skate confidently after 4 to 6 lessons.

When should I sign up for Intermediate Lessons?

We encourage you to challenge yourself with the Intermediate Lessons once you’ve nailed cruising on your board confidently and you’re ready to learn tricks and more techniques.

Rain Policy

Will lessons be cancelled if it rains?

Our instructors will preempt you about the possible bad weather 1 hour before your lesson. You can make the decision to cancel and get the credit refunded. Should you choose to proceed with the lesson and it happens to rain, full credit will be charged.

Cancellation Policy

What if I cannot make it for my lesson?

If you are unable to attend the lesson you booked, you can modify your booking by logging in to your account 6 hours prior to the start of your lesson time to reschedule to the next available date.

For no-shows/late cancellations, the lesson credit will be deducted from your account.
