“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.” – Mark Twain
Recently, we were interviewed by one of our colleagues Brett, who runs a skateboarding school in Philadelphia called Skate The Foundry, for his podcast. It was a rare opportunity to talk about the business of running a skateboarding school. So easy to get wrapped up in the day-to-day work, losing sight of where you used to be and where you are now. Honestly, it was really refreshing to reflect and share our vision of what's to come with SKATEYOGI! If you are curious, here's a link! As we embarked on this path on opening a skateboarding school a decade ago, we also got to see some of our students jump into their own dreams along the way, all because they felt encouraged to follow their gut seeing people like us take a bit of risk. Get used to being uncomfortable! Kevin

What's great about skateboarding? Most of the time we are failing. Even pros do not land their tricks all the time. This is simply because we are continuously pushing ourselves to do more. This makes the moment when we finally land on a trick so memorable. (Sometimes it takes months or even years to get it right!)
As we hear about some people trying to shield their children from experiencing failure and misery in their lives, here we are, embracing failure. Getting used to things not going your way only makes us stronger mentally and physically – Fall and get back up. Grit is one of the greatest gifts of skateboarding! One more try, you almost got it! Kevin P.S. Summer Camp Early Bird Offer is ending in 3 weeks on 3/31/24. Start planning now! Can you believe tomorrow is the first day of March already? Spring is just around the corner.

Save $150 when you register for all 5 days! ($795 for the entire week) We are delighted to share the news that the Mayor's Office and several City Council members have announced funding for 4 new skateparks in NYC being developed in partnership with Tony Hawk’s non-profit The Skatepark Project.
Even more exciting is that two of the skateparks will be walking distance from our PLG location! For years, the Brooklyn Skate Garden has had a dream to bring a skatepark to the Prospect Park area, headed up by the Pablo Ramirez Foundation. This project has been given the green light for a site in Mount Prospect Park, right next to the Brooklyn Museum. The second project is a much needed overhaul of Brower Skatepark, which has always had more of a DIY park vibe. It’s great to the see the Crown Heights locals will be getting a proper park after all these years. Stay tuned for more info if you’d like to be involved in the process of community input for either of these projects! - Kevin Wow, we finally got some snow after having had no snow for almost 2 years! While it might be in the teens for the next few days, we can think of all the fun in spring and summer...
