Skate Lessons
There are 3 levels of classes offered at Fargo Skateboarding:
Level 1, Beginners Class: This is the best introduction to skateboarding that will put any student interested in skateboarding on the fastest and safest track to progression. Anyone can join the beginner class whether they have pushed on a skateboard or not. The beginner class builds the foundation needed to advance in skateboarding. The following skills and ideas are touched on in this class:

Level 2, Intermediate Class: Once an aspiring skater can drop-in and wants to take their skateboarding to the next level we will move students up to Level 2. Intermediate students are getting comfortable going fast, can control their speed with pumping, and can make quick decisions to change their direction to avoid collisions. In this class we cover the more technical aspects of skateboarding and open students minds to all the variations of each trick. Some examples of skills that we cover include:
- The difference between switch, fakie, backside and frontside.
- Lip tricks (how to do axle stalls, slashes, rock variations, and more!)
- How to put tricks in a sequence, understanding how to flow through a park
- The ability to put names to tricks
- How to do a kickflip and other flip tricks
Level 3, Advanced Class: Get to the highest level of our skateboard classes by passing our skills test showing full confidence, and control landing our tailored list of tricks that proves that the student is ready to advance. Level 3 is individualized to each person’s skate goals. Coaches will invite the students from Level 2 to advance when they recognize they are ready for the next challenge.
