Skateboarding Programs for Community Empowerment
Lessons
We don’t just teach tricks; we foster community empowerment through skateboarding. Our focus is on providing mental health support to skaters as they navigate the emotional challenges that accompany growth — including fear, frustration, self-doubt, and setbacks.
Every fall teaches resilience, every push builds confidence, and every breakthrough strengthens character. Skateboarding becomes the vehicle for transformation, and that is our ultimate goal.
Coaching
With over 40 years of skateboarding experience, I’ve walked through the wins, the losses, the setbacks, the pressure, and the process. Coaching at Sk8 2 Liv isn’t just about improving your skateboarding skills; it’s about fostering community empowerment and strengthening your mindset, discipline, and identity. If you’re looking to compete, pursue sponsorship, or simply push your limits — this mentorship is built on experience, integrity, and long-term growth, while also emphasizing mental health support.
Camps
Contests
Sk8 2 Liv Camps are designed to foster community empowerment among kids through skateboarding, providing them with experiences they might not otherwise have. These aren’t just practice sessions — they’re immersive, high-energy days focused on connection, growth, and mental health support. Imagine hitting multiple skateparks and street spots across Salt Lake City in a single day. New terrain. New challenges. New confidence. Join us for skateboarding lessons that build skills and friendships.

Contests
More Than a Contest
Our events are built around community empowerment. Parents come out to support their kids, families connect, and skaters cheer for one another. It’s about learning how to perform under pressure while still remembering why we skate — because it’s fun.
At the end of the day, some skaters will walk away with product prizes or cash awards. But everyone walks away with experience, confidence, and growth, which contributes to their mental health support and personal development.
