Our popular learn-to-skate workshop is for women, trans, and/or non-binary adults looking for a safe and comfortable space to learn to skateboard. 

For this event we are bringing back our inspiring speakers. Before we suit up to skate, we’ll be hearing from two inspiring speakers about how they have overcome challenges and fears.

This Shred Your Fears workshop will also include a short yoga-based stretching session followed by a skateboarding lesson with options for all abilities and skill levels.  Space is limited!  Skateboards and safety equipment are included. Please note this event is 18+.
