Four months ago I couldn't skate and I wasn't interested. Then I heard about the Skate Club at The Brighton Youth Centre and I went along to try it out and I thought it was cool. I went there every Thursday afternoon and learned how to skate. I am now a Skateboarder!! The skate coaches, Richie and Luke, helped me a lot while I was learning to skate and they have taught me loads of wicked tricks.

I can now clear a five flight of stairs and I can Ollie over five skateboards. I can nearly Pop Shove-it and Kick-flip. I learned a new trick nearly every week. I also help teach the younger skaters during the Saturday morning sessions and I am applying to do my Junior Sports Leaders Award.

Positive Futures Skate Sessions are held at Brighton Youth Centre:
13 - 16 year olds, Thurs 4pm - 6pm
10 - 13 year olds, Sat 10am - 12pm

If you don't have a board you can borrow one at the session and there are pads and helmets available for use. If you have any questions or would like to come to one of the sessions to try it out, then you can call Seamus Ellis, Skateboarding Co-ordinator, Positive Futures on 01273 675 011. Hope you come and have a Skate with us!!
