Hey everyone. I know it is difficult to have repetitive residule scheduled lessons, but as we all know I am only one person. I work full time with two jobs, and try my best to make time for everyone. Without Milly it becomes a struggle to run the lessons on my own. Because I want to ensure each student has enough attention and to make sure they are learning safely.
I started this school because it's my passion to help people, I wanted to get more kids on board to learn the art of skateboarding and to become more confident in everyday life.
I take time out of my own days to try and be there to host these lessons for the kids. If a lesson is cancelled I shouldn't have to be ridiculed and abused by parents for not being able to run the program to suit them. I do this for FREE. We were supplying drinks out of our own pockets, but this was abused. I don't deserve nor do I need to be made to feel horrible. And with private lessons , I only charge $10 for a private lesson which half of it goes towards charity, when really it should be around $50. I do this as a courtesy to other people, to make it affordable for families, this is no favour to me. I don't gain anything from this except for peace of mind knowing that I am teaching the kids something they'll remember forever. So when they grow up they will look back and reminisce of the times they lived life to the fullest.
This isn't just a skate school. This is about encouraging eachother, team building, confidence , life. I listen to their stories, give them advice if they're having a bad day I support them as much as I can. I am more than a skateboard Coach. I am a friend, a mentor and try my best to be a role model. I don't want anyone to grow up being bullied or feeling the wrath of anxiety. I want to be that person who shows them there is always a silver lining around every dark cloud.
I suffered many years without having someone to look up to. I was bullied to the point I had to leave school. I learnt life the hard way. The person I am today is loving and caring and wants to change the world and doesn't want to be made to feel horrible.
If you cannot respect me, what I do and how I do it. Then please do not be apart of this. This isn't about you. This is for the kids.
Let's work together to spread the love.

Skate on forever.
