I bought the course today and just came back from my first practice. I wanna give you a little feedback on the course because I am so HAAAPPY right now! I was skeptical at the beginning, cause you can find everything today on Google and Youtube BUT it is definitely worth it!! I tried riding a longboard couple of times, however I am still afraid to ride it in normal speed and today (in just 30 min) I managed to do squat riding, grooving, skier sidewinders, 180 step straight and I even had confidence to try cross step and it feels amazing! I just watched your videos once at home and your instructions are super simple, it is definitely not necessary to have an offline version. I am now sure that Youtube cannot replace that you offer in this course, and I guess I will be even more happy when we start with video reviews and group calls. To sum it up: great value for money, totally doable even for those that are afraid to step on the longboard and so much fun practicing and even watching your videos! Huge recommendation!

Hi. Me again. Just wanted to follow up on my experience with your course. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! To describe how much I enjoy it I will just say I’m a mother of two little kids (so, sleep deprivation is a fact) and I still wake up at 6:30 am so I have 1 h for practicing with my longboard. Still didn’t get a decent video, but I totally feel improvements!! Sooo happy with this. The best auto-gift ever!
WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT THE LONGBOARD COURSE

NOT SURE?

We got something for you if:

You´ve been wanting to pick up longboarding after watching that video on Instagram but don´t know where to start

and the information on the web is scatterted and fragmented

You are confident in cruising but would like to spice it up with dancing & freestyle elements

but don't know how to build up your practice

You already went skating a couple of times but it still feels off and you cannot figure out what it is

you may want extra help with stance, pushing, braking, and turning correctly

You already know some elements but are craving for more new steps and tricks

and want to learn how to combine them in beautiful lines

There is no longboard community or instructors nearby that you could learn from

and Youtube tutorials have not been helpful

You want to develop your flow and style

so that the moves you already know look graceful

You would like to build a solid base from the very start

without wasting time and picking up bad habits

You would like start teaching longboarding or are a teacher already 

but could take some input on how to explain things and build general structure
don´t waste your money!

This Course is NOT for You If:

You find our faces annoying...

Testimonials

What our learners say

I think it is wonderful you started this course!
I am 52 and picked up longboarding two summers ago with my now 16 year old son.
You guys rock!! I love your online course - my longboarding skills already improved so much thanks to your guidance. Easy to understand and follow.
I love your course! So easy to follow and with a nice sense of humor! It really helps building confidence. Today I did my first squat on the longboard (never imagined myself doing that) but it was so much fun!
I’ve started half of April with your course (mod 1 and 2).. you two.. millions of laugh and lot of good company, just like friends I know from a decade. I would like to thank you because you’ve helped me to undergo a “black mood” with a deep sense of freedom.. I’ve started cutting one hour every day for that freedom I would feel on my skin, even as a wobbly beginner, till knees and abdominals ache (too old to afford it?!?!) But I’m in love!
It’s really amazing that you provide! Thank you! Just had my first practice today & thanks to you both I felt confident enough to start right away. Pushing, braking.. and of course with helmet and protection on.
My new longboard is on its way, I’ve been practicing with the one I currently have (that’s not appropriate for dancing) and just can tell you the course is AMAZING!!!!! I notice a huge difference now I’m learning the right technique… instead of guessing. I feel like that moment when someone told me what are the moves you need to do to park the car… and my head was blown. En fin.. just wanted to thank you and Axel for the great martial in the course!! And the mood of the videos is the best!!

Yes, yes and yes!! In this course we gathered EVERYTHING we know to help you get started!

For how long will I have access after purchasing the course?

I am X y.o, am I too old to join?

Is there a minimum age to join?
