Learn new tricks, improve your skating, and keep pushing. Designed for beginners right through to advanced skaters our online trick help allows you to keep progressing your skating, no matter where in the world you live.

At How To Skate, we use a number of tools to improve your learning experience.

Video analysis will help you make quicker changes with a clearer understanding. No fluffy terms here, just clear, digestible ideas and tips.

Testimonial

“I have forever had a fear and intense interest and love for skating. Until now I have never pursued it seriously and allowed myself to learn because I had a fear of hurting myself, falling, and failing at it. Pete has changed my view of skating completely and helped me see how easy it is to learn even the most basic tricks to get you enjoying a park. I could never imagine going to a skate park, let alone going to many different ones and actually being able to skate them all and enjoy it. 

Pete has given me a whole new level of stoke not just in skating, but in life. At 32 years of age I feel like a teenager again.”

– Channtel McPherson, Owner at Thread and Butter Designs
