See all- Let's learn how to Skateboard with Rob SkateRob Skate Acedemy , san leandro, CA
What up ONYX,
It’s time to step outside of the box with The Awkward Black Tribe again. This time let’s learn how to skateboard with the homie Rob Ferguson at the Rob Skate Academy in San Leandro. Maybe it’s because I grew up listening to Pharell Williams aka Skateboard P or maybe it's because I was totally obsessed with that Lupe Fiasco record Kick, Push in grad school, but I always liked skateboarding vibes but I never actually learned how to do it. On June 21st at 9:30am, however, this will all change. I'm going to learn how to skateboard and I want to learn how to do it with you. Life is way too short to only stick to what you’re comfortable with. For $25 come and experience a new activity with your boy. Check out the specifics below.
What? An hour-long beginner skating lesson. Skateboards and padding will be provided. Be prepared to sign a waiver.
How much? For the super low price of $25 we’ll get an hour of top-notch beginner instructions.
