Over the years we have had a few setbacks due to theft and flooding. We didn’t let this stop us and were able to increase our equipment thanks to many supporters. We can now easily equip 25 children and young people aged 6 and over at the same time. Different board widths and designs, small and large wheels, soft or hard steering – by the end of the workshop, most people will notice a difference.

One of our highlights, alongside various kickers and jump ramps, is the mobile playground from Skateboard Bayern, which makes us independent of a skate park. Whether the kids are riding their first meters on and over inclined planes or trying out their first pumps over waves in different sizes – they learn the basics for most obstacles super quickly. In the past, many outdated skate parks were less geared towards beginners, which is why they are often far too big and too steep. The Playground is also a good place to start.

With the slalom cones, they gradually learn how to negotiate tight bends and, depending on how fit they are, there is also a first race. Depending on the length of the workshop, participants can also try out one of our balance boards in between to train their balance. A good exercise to try out mutual assistance. Even though we play an individual sport, we are not egotists.
