Below are a
small selection of testimonials and letters that we have received
from schools, parents and children. Please feel free to scroll
through and thank you to everyone for the
support and praise - we're glad you're happy.
(1) Parents
Testimonial...
"...we just wanted to say how much we enjoyed having you do
the skate party for our son and his friends. They were buzzing
for ages afterwards... We were really impressed, especially as
some of the kids were slight special needs and you got them up
skateboarding and one of them is still going strong, FANTASTIC. We were amazed how much time
and attention you gave to the kids. Please keep us informed of
any up and coming events. Once again, thanx a lot."
(2) Parents Testimonial...
"...just wanted to say thanks for the lesson you gave to my
son and his friend yesterday in Harrow. 'That was the best thing I
have ever done' he said 'I never thought I could do some of the
things I learned'. He said it was amazing and that you were a
great coach. He now feels a lot more confident. If we can book
something indoor at the weekends we can work around your schedule.
Just let me know what works."
(1) Teachers Testimonial...
"...thanks again for a great workshop, I
spoke to loads of the parents and children afterwards and the
