Good Morning! Sometimes in circle time we go around and share what we love about skateboarding. I will often mention that one of my favorite parts of skateboarding is the chance to get to know all different kinds of people. Meeting someone who has the same passion for skateboarding and sharing the experience of skating together helps spark an instant connection. I see this in class when kids who have just met start cheering for each other, and giving high fives. Last Saturday I had the awesome opportunity to join Tony Hawk and a bunch of other amazing skaters for a session at the House of Vans and later on, at a vert bowl way out in NJ. An adult student of mine who is very active in the Tony Hawk Foundation had invited me along as a guest for this fundraiser event. It was a dream come true, floating between the teenage skater kid inside me pinching himself, and the opportunity to learn about all the rad work the THF is doing to support skateparks in low income communities. The session was intimidating to say the least. I spent most of the day in awe with my jaws dropped. Finally towards the end I mustered the courage to drop in on the shallow end and the entire situation had changed. I went from spectator to participant and immediately felt fully present. Afterwards I got to talk with Tony and share the idea of SKATEYOGI. To my surprise, he actually complimented one of the tricks I did during a run and immediately my 15-year old self gave my grown-up self a huge high five :) Listed below are some upcoming offerings and space remaining as of today.
