Skateboarding - Beginner Skateboarding Skateboarding Skateboarding is many things – an activity, a creative outlet, a style, a culture, a way of life, and much more. Perhaps more importantly, skating is for everyone. It doesn’t matter how old or how young you are, where you come from, or who you are. These sessions are open to all ages. All you need is a skateboard and a desire to ride. Beginners will have little to no experience and focus on basics such as pushing, riding, turning, jumping on the board, riding ramps, and learning to ollie, the foundation of street skateboarding (def. a jump performed without the aid of a takeoff ramp, executed by pushing the back foot down on the tail of the board, bringing the board off the ground). Intermediate riders are also welcome and will focus on ollie-based tricks and transition (ramp) skills. The instructors always begin with technique before moving into applying those techniques with both group and individual instruction. MANDATORY EQUIPMENT -> Helmet -> Street skateboard setup: A street skateboard is required for the course. DO NOT buy the cheaper $20-40 boards available at Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc. They are not made well and will end up being very frustrating for a beginner. ***Reach out to the instructor with your child's age, shoe size, height, and weight. He will then provide you with a link to pro street setup in the $50-$75 price range. Important Note: If you are unable to attend the first session, do not sign up for the course. The first session defines the course and goes over basics. Attendance on the first day is necessary for all to participate fully. RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT -> Knee pads -> Elbow pads -> Wrist guards ***If you have any questions about equipment, email Scott for recommendations.*** Instructor’s Email: scott.wiener1(at)gmail.com ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR Scott Patrick Wiener is a Billerica resident who began skateboarding in 1988 and continues to skate street and mini-ramp because he just can’t stop. He previously held positions as an art educator at colleges and universities in Massachusetts, YouthBuild USA, an education-based non-profit, and now teaches grade 4-8 art at Hanscom School. After skating the Billerica skatepark during COVID, he walked into the Billerica Rec. Dept. with a desire to serve the community through skateboarding. After 4.5 years of working together with residents and the town, their partnership brought about a new skatepark at the PHR complex in the summer of 2025. Working with his 10 y/o daughter, Lexie, as assistant, Scott is happy to expand these skateboarding classes to include the new obstacles at the refreshed Billerica Skatepark!

Skateboarding - Beginner Skateboarding Skateboarding Skateboarding is many things – an activity, a creative outlet, a style, a culture, a way of life, and much more. Perhaps more importantly, skating is for everyone. It doesn’t matter how old or how young you are, where you come from, or who you are. These sessions are open to all ages. All you need is a skateboard and a desire to ride. Beginners will have little to no experience and focus on basics such as pushing, riding, turning, jumping on the board, riding ramps, and learning to ollie, the foundation of street skateboarding (def. a jump performed without the aid of a takeoff ramp, executed by pushing the back foot down on the tail of the board, bringing the board off the ground). Intermediate riders are also welcome and will focus on ollie-based tricks and transition (ramp) skills. The instructors always begin with technique before moving into applying those techniques with both group and individual instruction. MANDATORY EQUIPMENT -> Helmet -> Street skateboard setup: A street skateboard is required for the course. DO NOT buy the cheaper $20-40 boards available at Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc. They are not made well and will end up being very frustrating for a beginner. ***Reach out to the instructor with your child's age, shoe size, height, and weight. He will then provide you with a link to pro street setup in the $50-$75 price range. Important Note: If you are unable to attend the first session, do not sign up for the course. The first session defines the course and goes over basics. Attendance on the first day is necessary for all to participate fully. RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT -> Knee pads -> Elbow pads -> Wrist guards ***If you have any questions about equipment, email Scott for recommendations.*** Instructor’s Email: scott.wiener1(at)gmail.com ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR Scott Patrick Wiener is a Billerica resident who began skateboarding in 1988 and continues to skate street and mini-ramp because he just can’t stop. He previously held positions as an art educator at colleges and universities in Massachusetts, YouthBuild USA, an education-based non-profit, and now teaches grade 4-8 art at Hanscom School. After skating the Billerica skatepark during COVID, he walked into the Billerica Rec. Dept. with a desire to serve the community through skateboarding. After 4.5 years of working together with residents and the town, their partnership brought about a new skatepark at the PHR complex in the summer of 2025. Working with his 10 y/o daughter, Lexie, as assistant, Scott is happy to expand these skateboarding classes to include the new obstacles at the refreshed Billerica Skatepark!

Skateboarding - Beginner Skateboarding Skateboarding Skateboarding is many things – an activity, a creative outlet, a style, a culture, a way of life, and much more. Perhaps more importantly, skating is for everyone. It doesn’t matter how old or how young you are, where you come from, or who you are. These sessions are open to all ages. All you need is a skateboard and a desire to ride. Beginners will have little to no experience and focus on basics such as pushing, riding, turning, jumping on the board, riding ramps, and learning to ollie, the foundation of street skateboarding (def. a jump performed without the aid of a takeoff ramp, executed by pushing the back foot down on the tail of the board, bringing the board off the ground). Intermediate riders are also welcome and will focus on ollie-based tricks and transition (ramp) skills. The instructors always begin with technique before moving into applying those techniques with both group and individual instruction. MANDATORY EQUIPMENT -> Helmet -> Street skateboard setup: A street skateboard is required for the course. DO NOT buy the cheaper $20-40 boards available at Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc. They are not made well and will end up being very frustrating for a beginner. ***Reach out to the instructor with your child's age, shoe size, height, and weight. He will then provide you with a link to pro street setup in the $50-$75 price range. Important Note: If you are unable to attend the first session, do not sign up for the course. The first session defines the course and goes over basics. Attendance on the first day is necessary for all to participate fully. RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT -> Knee pads -> Elbow pads -> Wrist guards ***If you have any questions about equipment, email Scott for recommendations.*** Instructor’s Email: scott.wiener1(at)gmail.com ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR Scott Patrick Wiener is a Billerica resident who began skateboarding in 1988 and continues to skate street and mini-ramp because he just can’t stop. He previously held positions as an art educator at colleges and universities in Massachusetts, YouthBuild USA, an education-based non-profit, and now teaches grade 4-8 art at Hanscom School. After skating the Billerica skatepark during COVID, he walked into the Billerica Rec. Dept. with a desire to serve the community through skateboarding. After 4.5 years of working together with residents and the town, their partnership brought about a new skatepark at the PHR complex in the summer of 2025. Working with his 10 y/o daughter, Lexie, as assistant, Scott is happy to expand these skateboarding classes to include the new obstacles at the refreshed Billerica Skatepark!

Skateboarding - Beginner Skateboarding Skateboarding Skateboarding is many things – an activity, a creative outlet, a style, a culture, a way of life, and much more. Perhaps more importantly, skating is for everyone. It doesn’t matter how old or how young you are, where you come from, or who you are. These sessions are open to all ages. All you need is a skateboard and a desire to ride. Beginners will have little to no experience and focus on basics such as pushing, riding, turning, jumping on the board, riding ramps, and learning to ollie, the foundation of street skateboarding (def. a jump performed without the aid of a takeoff ramp, executed by pushing the back foot down on the tail of the board, bringing the board off the ground). Intermediate riders are also welcome and will focus on ollie-based tricks and transition (ramp) skills. The instructors always begin with technique before moving into applying those techniques with both group and individual instruction. MANDATORY EQUIPMENT -> Helmet -> Street skateboard setup: A street skateboard is required for the course. DO NOT buy the cheaper $20-40 boards available at Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc. They are not made well and will end up being very frustrating for a beginner. ***Reach out to the instructor with your child's age, shoe size, height, and weight. He will then provide you with a link to pro street setup in the $50-$75 price range. Important Note: If you are unable to attend the first session, do not sign up for the course. The first session defines the course and goes over basics. Attendance on the first day is necessary for all to participate fully. RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT -> Knee pads -> Elbow pads -> Wrist guards ***If you have any questions about equipment, email Scott for recommendations.*** Instructor’s Email: scott.wiener1(at)gmail.com ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR Scott Patrick Wiener is a Billerica resident who began skateboarding in 1988 and continues to skate street and mini-ramp because he just can’t stop. He previously held positions as an art educator at colleges and universities in Massachusetts, YouthBuild USA, an education-based non-profit, and now teaches grade 4-8 art at Hanscom School. After skating the Billerica skatepark during COVID, he walked into the Billerica Rec. Dept. with a desire to serve the community through skateboarding. After 4.5 years of working together with residents and the town, their partnership brought about a new skatepark at the PHR complex in the summer of 2025. Working with his 10 y/o daughter, Lexie, as assistant, Scott is happy to expand these skateboarding classes to include the new obstacles at the refreshed Billerica Skatepark!

Skateboarding - Beginner Skateboarding Skateboarding Skateboarding is many things – an activity, a creative outlet, a style, a culture, a way of life, and much more. Perhaps more importantly, skating is for everyone. It doesn’t matter how old or how young you are, where you come from, or who you are. These sessions are open to all ages. All you need is a skateboard and a desire to ride. Beginners will have little to no experience and focus on basics such as pushing, riding, turning, jumping on the board, riding ramps, and learning to ollie, the foundation of street skateboarding (def. a jump performed without the aid of a takeoff ramp, executed by pushing the back foot down on the tail of the board, bringing the board off the ground). Intermediate riders are also welcome and will focus on ollie-based tricks and transition (ramp) skills. The instructors always begin with technique before moving into applying those techniques with both group and individual instruction. MANDATORY EQUIPMENT -> Helmet -> Street skateboard setup: A street skateboard is required for the course. DO NOT buy the cheaper $20-40 boards available at Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc. They are not made well and will end up being very frustrating for a beginner. ***Reach out to the instructor with your child's age, shoe size, height, and weight. He will then provide you with a link to pro street setup in the $50-$75 price range. Important Note: If you are unable to attend the first session, do not sign up for the course. The first session defines the course and goes over basics. Attendance on the first day is necessary for all to participate fully. RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT -> Knee pads -> Elbow pads -> Wrist guards ***If you have any questions about equipment, email Scott for recommendations.*** Instructor’s Email: scott.wiener1(at)gmail.com ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR Scott Patrick Wiener is a Billerica resident who began skateboarding in 1988 and continues to skate street and mini-ramp because he just can’t stop. He previously held positions as an art educator at colleges and universities in Massachusetts, YouthBuild USA, an education-based non-profit, and now teaches grade 4-8 art at Hanscom School. After skating the Billerica skatepark during COVID, he walked into the Billerica Rec. Dept. with a desire to serve the community through skateboarding. After 4.5 years of working together with residents and the town, their partnership brought about a new skatepark at the PHR complex in the summer of 2025. Working with his 10 y/o daughter, Lexie, as assistant, Scott is happy to expand these skateboarding classes to include the new obstacles at the refreshed Billerica Skatepark!
