Last Monday, Wednesday and Sunday, people of all ages and abilities were invited to roll down to the newly opened facility, giving first-time skaters the chance to learn some basic skills and the more confident skaters the opportunity to pick up some new tricks.
Skateboarding Australia WA state manager Ben Bowring said the workshops were held all over Perth and were a great chance for children and adults alike to have some fun.
‘We have kids as young as three or four joining in alongside teens and young adults,’ he said. Then there are the parents who take the opportunity to learn to skate alongside their kids as well.
