 Kevin's Trick Tip: Manuals
A manual is a skateboarding trick that looks similar to doing a wheelie on a bicycle. With a skateboard we are balancing while riding on only 2 wheels (either the front or back two wheels). This is a versatile trick that you can use for combos, doing other tricks before or after the manual on a variety of obstacles. It's a fun challenge for balance and some skaters get really creative with different ways to perform the trick. In the sequence above you can see one of our students riding up a ramp and doing a manual down the incline pad. Here's a few things to keep in mind when trying a manual:

 February Schedule is Here!
Because of some holidays in mid-February, there will be no classes during the week of 2/16. Open skate will be held as usual though! We have some single class workshops for beginners if you are thinking about trying out SKATEYOGI before signing up for the next series! Absolute Beginner Workshop
$72 per person | Rental gear included This workshop is designed for adults who are new to skateboarding and want to learn the basics in a fun, supportive environment. Group exercises and guided practice will introduce techniques such as stance, pushing, stopping and turning.  What’s Your 2026 Skate Resolution?
I’m not a big fan of the “new year, new you” mentality, but rolling into 2026 does provide an opportunity to set some new goals or milestones. With something as open ended as skateboarding, there really is no preset for what you can achieve. I asked some students the other day and got the following responses: “Go down that ramp!” (points to largest ramp) “I want to learn to level off my ollies!” (very specific!) “I would like to be more comfortable riding outside!!” For me, I was thinking it would be nice to skate longer when I am able to and to play more friendly games of S.K.A.T.E. to keep my flatground tricks on point. No matter what your goal, the awesome thing with skating is that they are totally up to you! As we enter a new year I am looking forward to kicking off the Spring series starting later in January and also out first day camp of 2026 for MLK Day. Cant wait to see what the new year brings! Kevin  Everyday is an adventure!
Like the spontaneity of a long day of skating with friends, this year presented so many rad moments it's hard to keep track. We painted a mural, filmed with Daily Mail, skated Philly, celebrated Pride, welcomed back the Brooklyn Banks, got spooky on Berry Street, built a rope swing, hosted a Skatesgiving party and countless other moments of creativity, fun and laughter while skating with all of our students. We hope you're all having a great end of year with equal amounts of rest and excitement as we look forward to what's in store for 2026! See you at the next sesh! Kevin  Thank you for a rad year!
As we say peace out to a rad year, I want to thank everyone for the support and being a part of this awesome community! We will be closed from December 23 through January 4 so everyone on the team can rest up and spend time with friends and family as we look forward to another epic year. See you at the sesh next year!
