Adult and kids skateboard lessons for beginners through to advanced learners. We use professional coaches that coach as their main full time job. So the quality of coaching and the progression achieved is drastically different to that of other companies offering lessons.

The Bus Station in Milton Keynes (Buszy) has an undercover skate park one side and an undercover area to skate the other side for beginner lessons. This makes Milton Keynes an ideal spot for all levels of skateboarding come rain or shine! The beginner area has a big square of flat concrete paving slabs which is undercover and is usually completely free of people. There is also a hill to ride down and an upwards section to practice ramp style ticks.

The skate park section is fun to skate and at times can be pretty busy, it has lots of grind boxes, a large manual pad and a stair set with ledges either side.

You can park either side of the bus station and its best to meet up on the opposite side of the skate park where the flat section is.
