About me

Hello, my name is Jose. I have been skateboarding for 19 years and have been an avid skater ever since. I work as an Engineer by day and love to skateboard and teach at any moment that I can. I have taught several children and adults basic skateboard lessons. On average we had them skating comfortably within a few days and getting a real understanding of an ollie after a week or so. I have created a few methods that work well to get them to have a good understanding of turning, pushing, sliding, riding off curbs, and feeling safe on the board. I teach both children and adults of all skill levels. I live in Jersey City and have easy access to Manhattan and surrounding boroughs including Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. I live close to Liberty State Park as well as any park in Manhattan. I have a strong passion for skating and really love seeing the skating community grow as new people gain interest in the sport. It is truly a great lesson in both self-motivation and perseverance. It has taught me a lot about myself both physically and mentally. I wish to share this passion with other kids.
