Do you know of anyone that does skateboarding classes in or around the Abbotsford, BC area? Looking for lessons for a 12 year old boy.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
Dear Julie, Shuggy Milligan here. There are skateboarding lessons available at a few of the Vancouver
community centers. Jeff Cole who instructs at the Douglas park center, is the vice president
of the Vancouver skateboard coalition, and an advocate for training and safety for those interested to skate.
He can be contacted week days at PD’s Skull Skate Shop on Fourth Avenue at MacDonald in Kits.
