“I learned a lot with Coach Evan and would definitely recommend him to others. For starters, he helped me build more confidence on my longboard. I started out mostly as a newbie at age 26, after only skating a handful of times growing up. I learned how to skate safely to prevent injuries and falls. I also learned a lot of skills, from simple stuff like how to get on and off the board and how to stand on it, to learning different turns like figure 8’s and circles, how to stop in different ways, going into bowls and down ramps or steps, and much more, like doing downhill slalom. He also educated me on how my board works and I even got to practice on a new kind of board of his called the surf skateboard, which I plan to get in the future. He also helped guide me on how to build strength and stretch out since I’m currently skateboarding to get into shape. My confidence grew in the park because I had a friendly and professional teacher to guide me. (RMSS beginner student)

I have been going to the ladies clinic for a while which is awesome, but the 1:1 lesson really helped me push my personal goal to the next level. Evan is a natural teacher and coach and really took time to understand what would help make the most of our time together. He also distilled the lesson into three easy-to-remember steps that were tailored to where I am at in accomplishing my goal. Plus we had fun and learned some other new tricks! I would recommend Evan to any skateboarder looking to level up their game!

Coach Evan meets students where they are. He pushes enough to keep students on track and making progress but always in service of the student's personal goals. As an adult learner picking up a skateboard in my really, really late 30s, I am impressed with Evan's ability to explain things. He is also able to teach my three elementary-aged kids, despite the kindergartener being more impressed by a roly-poly than by a 540 or kickflip.

Coach Evan gave us confidence not only to get past the fear of falling, but made it manageable and he gave us the confidence to move forward in a skateboard but beyond that, to do fun tricks!!! Absolutely without a doubt would recommend Coach Evan! Two thumbs up!!

I have made more progress in the past 2 months doing clinics and lessons with Coach Evan @rockymountain_shredschool than I did in the past 2 years trying to figure it out on my own. He makes things feel safe to try and we have a lot of fun in the process.

Working with kidsCoach Evan is specially gifted in connecting with each student based on their emotions and comfort level. He is playful, light hearted and articulate. Whether gamified or more educational and motivating, each student will get a custom experience to build on their personal needs.
Working with teenagersEven though teens can be self conscious they make great students when they apply themselves because of the greater understanding they have with their bodies and spatial awareness. Kiddos are still learning language and coordination but teens are more advanced and are able to progress through trick challenges very quickly. Coach Evan is great at encouraging the socially nervous and maximizing the athleticism of courageous students
What you need to bringA helmet & rubber soled low-profile tennis shoes are required, and safety pads are strongly recommended for elbow, knee, wrist protection. Many students love the added comfort of “crash shorts” for tailbone and hip protection.
What I can bringCoach Evan can bring various skate elements from different size skateboards to ramps, rails, slalom cones, Ollie trainers, and even special event props like the signature rainbow tunnel and stairs! Birthday party lessons often include his toy fingerboarding mini skatepark!
