'Learn to skate' with Teens Unite! (TEENS EVENT)

Southbank, London

"Everyone was really nice and it was a really supportive atmosphere to learn in. I had so much fun"

Following on from the success of our 'Bike and Unite' day earlier this year, we are excited to announce the success of our subsequent 'Learn to skate' workshop!

12 young people joined Teens Unite, alongside a group of proffessional instructors to learn how to skateboard. The instructors took them through the basics to begin, balance, starting and stopping. After everyone was a bit more comfortable on the boards, they were taught a few tricks!

After the session, we went to Honest Burger for a well deserved lunch. This gave everyone the chance to get to know one another a bit better and reflect on everything that they achieved!

Everyone left the day feeling energised, having learnt a new skill and able to take their own skateboard home with them to continue practicing! 

Thank you to our friends at AMEX and O3E for kindly donating the skateboards for this session.
